Shopping and Dining
When heading out for a day of shopping in Davie, don’t miss Tower Shops on University Drive. You’ll find Home Depot and Office Depot along with Michaels Crafts, T.J. Maxx and Costco. Cruise into smaller department stores such as Claires, Old Navy and Pacific Sunwear as well. Davie restaurants keep visitors and residents as well fed as the local horses. Find community favorite Ye Olde Falcon Pub with 50 beers on tap or stop in at Shorty’s Bar BQ both on South University Drive. There are plenty of national brands as well including Buca Di Beppo, Outback Steakhouse and Pizza Hut.

Parks and Recreation
There are more than 30 parks and outdoor facilities in Davie. The Bill Gessner Sports Complex and Davie Pine Island Park together provide softball/baseball and football/soccer fields, swimming, tennis and roller hockey. The Long Key Natural Area and Nature Center (157 acres), Vista View Park (272 acres) and Tree Tops Park (243.3 acres) all offer horse trails as well as plenty of chances to view wildlife. Travel between the three and you might spend your day hiking, biking, camping, baton twirling or training your dog. There are simply more programs and activities at Davie parks than you can possibly take in all at once.

Living
There’s surely a home for sale to suit your needs in Davie with its western flair, five colleges and universities and annual Orange Blossom Festival? In addition to Nova Southeastern University (which hosts the training facility for the Miami Dolphins), there are four other colleges and universities calling Davie home. Every February, on Orange Drive, the Seminole Tribe of Florida Orange Blossom Festival, Parade and Rodeo features activities such as live music, arts and crafts, Native American installations, a magic show and much more. Hosting this and other rodeos, the Bergeron Rodeo Grounds and Entertainment Center is open year-round and available for rent for a wide range of events. Almost any day of the year, you can spend a few hours at the 60-acre Flamingo Gardens Botanical Preserve showcasing hundreds of native trees and animals. A great way to spend an evening is at Sparez Bowling Center on South University Drive. Those looking for a more formal retreat for a wedding or special event should look no further than the Signature Grand Mansion, the “it” destination for special events in South Florida since 1996.

Schools, Health, Transportation
13 public and six private schools demonstrate Davie’s commitment to its students. McFatter Technical High School was even named a National Blue Ribbon School by the U.S. Secretary of Education in 2009. Top notch health care is available to Davie residents less than three miles away at Memorial Hospital Pembroke in the neighboring city of Hollywood. When you need to get there, you can count on Broward County Transit (BCT) buses. Stops in the city include the Tower Shops, Tree Tops Park and the Davie Town Hall. Clearly, the service infrastructures here are more like what you’d expect from a very large city, but visitors and those thinking of relocating soon learn, the spirit of the small western town is the strongest part of the atmosphere in Davie.
