Most Walkable Places in Davie (2025 Guide)

Published: December 4, 2025 • Davie • Walkability & Lifestyle

        Davie has a different feel than the beach cities. In 2025, a lot of buyers are hunting for that blend of suburban space, equestrian character, and places where you can still actually walk to something.
      

Why Walkability Feels Different in Davie

We live in a town known for its open land, universities, and equestrian lifestyle. So walkability here doesn’t always look like a downtown grid. In Davie, the most walkable places tend to be near schools, parks, and campus-adjacent retail — not skyscrapers.

As a local Davie real estate agent, I hear the same theme: buyers want space, but they don’t want to drive twenty minutes for every coffee, class, or kid activity. When we look at a Davie home valuation, we factor in that balance between elbow room and convenience.

Most Walkable Places and Corridors in Davie

Instead of just listing neighborhood names, it helps to think in terms of “places” — the corridors and zones where you can actually move around on foot and still get things done.

1. University Area and College Cluster

Near Nova Southeastern University, Broward College, and surrounding schools, you’ll find sidewalks, student-focused retail, and a steady flow of people walking between campus, apartments, and coffee spots. If you like an academic vibe, this is where we usually start.

2. Parks and Greenway Corridors

Davie’s park system is a big draw. Homes and townhomes near key parks and greenways give you built-in walking routes for kids, dogs, and morning runs — even if you still drive to major shopping.

3. Equestrian-Friendly Streets with Trail Access

Some Davie buyers want more than sidewalks — they want trail access. There are pockets where you’ll see people walking, jogging, and riding within the same corridor. It’s a different kind of walkability, but it’s a huge lifestyle advantage for the right buyer.

4. Mixed-Use Nodes Near Major Roads

Along certain stretches of Griffin, Stirling, and University, you get a cluster of small shopping centers, restaurants, and services close together. Live nearby and you can walk or bike to a surprising amount of day-to-day errands.

How Walkability Impacts “How Much Is My Davie Home Worth?”

When you ask, “how much is my Davie home worth,” the answer isn’t just about square footage and lot size. Buyers also weigh:

Distance to schools, universities, and after-school activities.
Access to parks, greenways, and open space.
Sidewalks, crossings, and perceived safety for walking.
Proximity to daily services, coffee, and grocery options.

If your property sits in one of the more walkable places in Davie, that’s something we highlight when it’s time to go live — especially for families and university-related buyers.

Davie Walkability – Quick FAQ

Is Davie walkable if I work or study at the universities?

Yes, if you live in the right pockets. Some areas let you walk or bike to campus, coffee, and basic services. Others are more car-dependent.

How does Davie compare to Weston or Pembroke Pines for walkability?

Davie is more spread out and equestrian in many areas, while Weston and Pembroke Pines feel more master-planned suburban. Walkability depends on your specific neighborhood and daily routine.

Can I use walk scores alone to judge Davie neighborhoods?

Walk scores are helpful, but they don’t capture greenways, equestrian trails, or how people actually use the area. Walking the streets with a local agent makes a big difference.
