Yes. The sales centre is open seven days a week, a model home is listed, and the builder publishes base prices for four plans. Read on the builder's own site in October 2026, pricing starts at about $1,335,990, the four plans run from roughly $1.33 million to about $1.85 million, and standing inventory is listed from about $1.38 million up to about $3.0 million, with completions running from late 2026 into early 2027. Every one of those figures is as published by the builder and subject to change without notice. Be aware that an earlier published band for this community was lower, so these numbers move, and they have moved upward. Ask for a written price sheet with a date on it rather than relying on any figure, including ours.

Not to a Davie high school. The official school district boundary layer, checked across the whole parcel and again at its centre, assigns this address to Cooper City High and Pioneer Middle, along with Silver Ridge Elementary. The parcel is not split between attendance zones, which is useful. This is not a knock on the assignment, because Cooper City High is a sought-after one, but if you are buying a Davie address at this price specifically because you assumed a Davie school, you should know before you contract rather than after. Boundaries are redrawn districtwide from time to time, so confirm the assignment in writing with Broward County Public Schools for the exact address, and ask again before you close.

Because Florida assesses property as of the first of January, and on the current roll these homesites carry land value only. The applicable millage here totals about 18.74 mills, on the 2025 final table. A typical homesite assessed at roughly $147,000 of land value produces a bill of roughly $2,750. Once the finished house is on the roll at something near the purchase price, that bill steps up to roughly $25,000. That is about a ninefold increase. If a sales desk shows you a current tax figure, or you look one up yourself, you are almost certainly looking at a land-only bill that has nothing to do with what you will pay. Ask for the estimated tax at improved value, not the current bill, and set your escrow from that.

Less than you would hope, and it is worth being precise about. The total Florida homestead exemption for 2026 is $51,411, made up of a $25,000 base plus an additional $26,411. Both amounts are set statewide by Florida law, not by the county, and only the first $25,000 reaches the school portion of the levy. Against a stabilised bill of roughly $25,000 that works out to about $794 a year, which is around three per cent at the entry price and under one and a half per cent on the most expensive plan. The part that genuinely matters to a buyer at this price is not the exemption but the Save Our Homes three per cent annual cap on assessment increases that comes with homesteading. Over a decade that cap is worth far more than the exemption itself.

It is real, and it is a legal cap rather than a claim. The recorded plat for this subdivision carries a note restricting the land to 60 single-family homes, and that restriction can only be amended by going back to the county commission. Several independent features of the county record confirm the same figure, including the way the lots are numbered and the way the individual parcels were created. For a buyer that is reassurance with teeth: the density here cannot be increased by a later decision at a sales office. It also tells you what the place will be when it is finished, which is unusual information to be able to rely on at this stage of a community.

The whole parcel is mapped inside the special flood hazard area on current federal mapping, with a base flood elevation of 6.0 feet, and three separate current layers agree on that. An older mapping vintage shows a different and mixed picture with a lower base flood elevation; the current mapping governs. In practice that means flood insurance will be required if you finance with a federally backed mortgage. New construction here is built with the lowest floor elevated to or above the base flood elevation plus Florida freeboard, which is what keeps the premium manageable, but the requirement does not go away. Get the elevation certificate for your specific house and the finished floor elevation relative to base flood elevation, and price flood cover before you sign. At this dwelling value it is not a rounding error.

Modest, and concentrated in two old storms. Across every federal flood claim ever recorded in this postal area, the single heaviest month is October 1999 at about 38.6 per cent of all claims, and the heaviest calendar year is 1999 at about 39.6 per cent. Those are two separate figures measuring two different things, and we publish both because reporting only one of them misstates the concentration. The second concentration sits in 2005, where the single-month share is about 12.9 per cent and the calendar-year share about 16.1 per cent. Fewer than half of the claims recorded here ever paid anything, and the average payment among those that did was under five thousand dollars. For the current year, none recorded through the data freeze.

No, and we checked rather than assumed. There is no district line in the millage that applies to this parcel, and there is no district in the plat record. The impact fees associated with this subdivision are payable by the developer before building permits issue rather than amortised as a bond you carry for decades. In Broward County that arrangement is normal rather than remarkable, but it is exactly the question a buyer at this price should ask, and the answer here is a good one. You should still get the homeowners association budget, the reserve study and the turnover schedule, because with no district the association carries the amenity and lake maintenance costs directly.

There is a mobile home park directly to the north, and the vacant land directly to the east carries a designation permitting up to 16 dwelling units per acre, which means the view east can change in a way that is already allowed. The site also sits within about three miles of North Perry Airport, a general-aviation field where roughly three quarters of the activity is flight training across several flight schools. Training means repetitive circuits of small aircraft at low altitude, which is a more persistent noise signature than occasional airline overflight. None of this appears in a rendering. Go and stand on the lot you are considering, at a weekend afternoon, and listen before you commit.

No, and it is worth correcting directly because the town markets that character hard. Davie's western and equestrian identity is genuine elsewhere in the town, but it does not apply at this location. The town's western-theme design requirements govern commercial, office and institutional buildings within a defined district and specifically exclude standalone residential buildings, and there is no equestrian entitlement on this land. What is here is contemporary detached product at under two homes per acre on quarter-acre lots. If you are buying because you want to keep a horse or want a rural setting, this is not the community for that, and you should know it before you tour rather than after you contract.

That is the honest risk question and you should weigh it. The entry price here is roughly two and a half times the Davie median sale price, which was about $522,000 as of mid-2026, and what it buys is a quarter to a third of an acre. Over the same period the broader Davie market index was down about 2.7 per cent year over year. Those are different segments and a high-end new-construction product does not track a townwide index, but the resale pool for a house at this price in this town is thin, and while the community is still selling you would be competing with the builder, who can offer incentives an individual seller cannot. Buy here because you want to live here, not because you expect a quick exit.
