Rapid growth in Davie

A few years ago, Flamingo Paradise and other neighborhoods in the small town of Davie were unassuming; now, it they house multimillion-dollar mansions of NBA players and celebrities 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 Flamingo Paradise 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, Flamingo Paradise 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.
