Living in Davie, FL
Broward County
Davie is Broward County's outlier on rural-suburban character: parts of the town still carry a working equestrian and ranch-land identity -- horse trails, unpaved roads zoned for livestock, and Bergeron Rodeo Grounds -- alongside Nova Southeastern University, one of Florida's larger private universities, headquartered within town limits. That combination of horse-country zoning next to a major university campus is genuinely distinct from the other four cities in this batch, none of which carry either identity.

Pros
Genuine equestrian/rural-suburban zoning in parts of town, unusual for Broward County; Nova Southeastern University brings a real university-town element (student housing demand, campus amenities, healthcare/education employment).
Cons
Housing runs on the more expensive side of this batch; car-dependent and lacking a walkable core outside the NSU campus area; Florida-standard hurricane and insurance exposure.
Who this fits
Best for: Families and buyers specifically drawn to equestrian/rural-suburban zoning or proximity to Nova Southeastern University.
Maybe not for you if: Buyers wanting a dense, walkable, or purely urban setting should look at Fort Lauderdale proper instead -- Davie's identity is rural-suburban, not urban.
