Hello and welcome!
The Town of Davie is home to nearly 107,000 residents who live across a lush 35 square miles within central Broward. The Town's rural atmosphere, western-themed district and sprawling educational complex foster an environment that separates Davie from all other municipalities in Broward County. Our green open spaces, numerous parks, over 165 miles of trail system, and the opportunity to live an equestrian lifestyle are amenities you can't find in today's growing South Florida.
The Town of Davie is also the nexus of higher education in South Florida where several nationally known colleges, technical institutes, and universities make up the South Florida Educational Center.
Davie's business climate ranges from your typical small proprietor to the headquarters of Fortune 500 firms such as Teva Pharmaceuticals. Davie is ideally located among major thoroughfares such as the Ronald Reagan Turnpike, I-595, I-75, and is within a few minutes' travel to the Fort Lauderdale / Hollywood International Airport and Florida's deepest port, Port Everglades.
