Davie is a wonderful area to live in! Very family friendly area with bountiful opportunities to explore southern culture. Demographics tend to be shifted to a much higher Caucasian percentage which tends to alienate other cultural communities to the surrounding cities. However, this is not a profound prejudice—simply and unfortunate pattern that most culture-valuing residents would like to see fade.

I have resided in Davie, Florida for well over 10 years. I have seen it develop from barren grassy fields into a tourist attraction for many visitors and a shopping euphoria for its residents. If there is ANYTHING you can think of...Davie, Florida (particularly on university drive) has it! Everything you need is literally on a long street filled with EVERY and anything ranging from grocery, clothing, electronic, vitamin, shoe, fabric and craft stores; plus many more! There is a downside however, since this is a popular shopping town, unfortunately traffic is HORRENDOUS. It can take you 15 minutes to drive three blocks. And the parking? Let's just says it's like a scene out of the hunger games... completely cut throat and intense as consumers scrimmage and scanvenge for a parking space.
Davie is one of the only towns in Broward County, Florida. It is a quaint, low traffic town with above-average schools and homes that range from $300,000 to $3 million. Davie is a friendly town with a community that enjoys parks, horseback riding, rodeos and festivals. Davie is the home to a few prominent Universities and great restaurants, shopping centers and businesses. Living in Davie still feels like small town living, even though you're a part of a greater metropolis. The drive to downtown Fort Lauderdale or the airport is less than 20 minutes (not including weekly morning traffic). My family truly enjoys living in Davie, Florida.
