Davie Property Management

Davie is the largest incorporated town in Florida by population and one of the more unusual rental markets in Broward County. It combines a deliberately preserved Western and equestrian character — ranch-style architecture, horse properties and agricultural zoning in parts of town — with a major higher-education presence anchored by Nova Southeastern University and the wider South Florida Education Center. That produces two distinct tenant pools operating side by side: families and acreage owners on one hand, and a substantial student, faculty and medical-professional population on the other.

How Davie rents break down

As of this writing, one-bedroom rentals generally run from roughly $2,000 into the low-$2,000s, two-bedrooms from the mid-$2,000s into the high-$2,000s, and three-bedroom homes above that, with acreage and equestrian properties priced on land and facilities rather than square footage. A rental analysis places a specific property:

• The university and education corridor — steady, renewable demand from students, faculty and medical professionals, with a leasing calendar tied to the academic year rather than the winter season.
• Pine Island Ridge and the established communities — conventional condominium and single-family inventory with association structures and consistent family demand.
• Downtown Davie and the town center area — an actively developing corridor with newer inventory and walkable appeal.
• Equestrian and acreage properties — larger lots with barns, paddocks and agricultural zoning, drawing an entirely different tenant and requiring different lease terms.
• Arrowhead and the central residential neighborhoods — conventional family inventory at accessible price points.

The two markets inside one town

The academic calendar drives a large share of demand. Properties near the education corridor lease on a cycle tied to the academic year rather than the coastal winter season, which means timing a turnover for late spring or summer generally outperforms listing mid-term. It also means a reliable, renewable tenant pool that most owners in surrounding cities do not have access to. Marketing to it deliberately is the difference — see our how we market your rental.

Equestrian and acreage properties need different lease terms. Where a property includes barns, paddocks or pasture, the lease has to address stall use, arena and footing maintenance, manure removal, feed and hay storage and trailer parking — none of which appear in a standard residential lease. Ambiguity on maintenance responsibility is the recurring source of dispute in this segment, and it is entirely avoidable with clear drafting.

Agricultural zoning changes the rules. Parts of Davie sit on agriculturally zoned land with its own permitted-use restrictions, and some properties operate on private wells and septic systems. Water testing, septic service and acreage grounds maintenance are ongoing owner obligations that should be assigned explicitly rather than assumed.

Student-adjacent tenancies need structured screening. Where tenants are students, guarantor arrangements, occupancy limits and clear terms on subletting and shared occupancy matter more than in a conventional family tenancy. Our 12-point tenant screening structures those arrangements properly rather than treating them as an exception.

Insurance follows the same Florida rules. Roof age remains the deciding insurability factor on older inventory, and agricultural outbuildings carry their own considerations. See rental property insurance in Palm Beach County and our guide to hurricane insurance and shutters, with renovation and make-ready coordination handling upgrades.

Owners receive online rent collection, 24/7 maintenance coordination, monthly owner statements and eviction protection, under our fee schedule and eight written guarantees.

Davie borders to the east and Coral Springs to the north, with Oakland Park and Pompano Beach completing our Broward County cluster. See our homepage for the full footprint, including Palm Beach County.
