Rapid growth in Davie

A few years ago, Davie was a small, unassuming town outside Fort Lauderdale; now, it houses the multimillion-dollar mansions of NBA players and names like Rick Ross. In 2020, developers began buying land and building two-to-three-million-dollar homes. "But that's not like a two-to-three-million-dollar home in Miami," says Jason Matouk, a local Realtor who runs a YouTube channel about South Florida real estate. "In Davie, that's like an 8,000-square-foot home." People move to Sunshine Village to easily access nearby cities like Fort Lauderdale and Miami while living in a neighborhood that balances privacy and a sense of community. It's about 33 miles to Miami and 15 to Fort Lauderdale and the beach, making it easy to access without paying for waterfront real estate. Historically, Sunshine Village has been a community of mainly manufactured homes, but its recent development has seen the addition of luxury properties, creating a wide range of housing options for buyers. "Everything in that area is going up in value because of how much traction it's getting," Matouk says.

Neighborhood parks, golf clubs and Dania Beach

Liberty Park, a small neighborhood park with a playground and picnic pavilion, is the only public green space in Sunshine Village. Still, the neighborhood is near other outdoor recreation options.

Nearby, residents enjoy access to the public Bonaventure Golf Club and semi-private Jacaranda Golf Club, and Dania Beach is only 15 miles east.
