If you’re curious what Davie community life actually looks like on a Sunday morning, this is it. The Davie Cooper City Chamber organizes this kind of event because Davie has something most South Florida markets have quietly lost: a civic center of gravity. The historic district on Griffin Road, the Chamber, the museum, the equestrian roots. It all points to a town that still has its own identity.
I’m an active member of the Davie Cooper City Chamber of Commerce, so I have a direct interest in seeing these events supported and well attended. If you’re relocating to Davie or actively comparing Davie to other Broward options, this event gives you a real read on the community in a way no real estate search tool can.
Event details and contact
The event page is live at the Chamber website: davie-coopercity.com/event-details/chambercommunity-cars-coffee-with-cops. The Chamber can be reached at info@davie-coopercity.org or 954-581-0790 if you have questions. The main Chamber site is at davie-coopercity.com.
No admission cost is listed. Show up, bring a coffee if you want one, and take a look at the cars and the building while you’re there.
The Old Davie School Museum: Davie’s oldest surviving building
The venue itself is worth understanding if you’re new to the area. The Old Davie School at 6650 Griffin Road is the oldest extant school building in Broward County. It opened in 1918 and was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on March 29, 1988. That National Register listing is documented at the Old Davie School site at olddavieschool.org and through National Register records.
A building from 1918 still standing and in active use as a community venue says something about how Davie treats its history. Most of the Broward County towns that boomed in the 1980s and 1990s have very little built environment that predates the current century. Davie has Griffin Road, which still carries the character of what the town was before the subdivisions arrived.
For buyers relocating from the Northeast or Midwest, this is the piece of Davie that tends to surprise them. It doesn’t look like South Florida in the way that Fort Lauderdale Beach or Brickell do. It looks like a town that knows what it is. That character is why buyers from Miami Beach who want more space don’t end up in Miramar or Pembroke Pines. They end up in Davie.
Why Davie’s civic events matter to buyers comparing South Florida options
The Cars and Coffee event is one data point in a pattern. The Chamber runs a consistent calendar of community events connecting residents, business owners, and local officials. That pattern reflects civic infrastructure that supports property values in a way no MLS data field captures.
When I walk relocation buyers through the Davie case, the conversation eventually reaches a question that goes something like: “I can get a bigger house in Miramar or Cooper City for less. What makes Davie worth the premium?” Part of the answer is zoning and lot size. Part of it is the equestrian character and A-1 agricultural parcels. And part of it is this: Davie has a civic center. A historic district on Griffin Road. A Chamber that shows up. A town identity that didn’t dissolve into generic suburban sprawl.
That is a real differentiator in the $800K to $1.5M price range where Davie competes hardest with adjacent markets. The 52 Davie neighborhoods documented here cover each community inside Davie with its own character, price tier, and lifestyle profile. A buyer interested in equestrian property near the historic district has a different profile than a buyer interested in a gated community near I-595. Both are Davie. Neither choice looks like the other.
The living in Davie Florida overview walks through the town’s character, zoning structure, and lifestyle context in detail for anyone who wants the full picture before a property tour. Schools layer into that same decision because the Davie school zone you land in shapes resale value as much as lot size does. The Davie schools guide maps that out neighborhood by neighborhood, and Broward County Public Schools at browardschools.com publishes the official boundaries and ratings. For the full community and civic calendar, the Town of Davie official site at davie-fl.gov publishes town events, council meeting schedules, and municipal updates that give relocators a real window into how the town operates.

Are there other Davie community events in 2026?
The Davie Cooper City Chamber runs a full community calendar throughout the year. The Town of Davie also maintains an events calendar at davie-fl.gov. For buyers considering a move to Davie, reviewing the civic calendar before you commit to a neighborhood gives you a sense of the community rhythm that list prices and school ratings don’t capture.
Why do buyers from Miami choose Davie over other Broward towns?
Davie offers larger lots, equestrian zoning, a historic character centered on Griffin Road, and a civic identity that most Broward suburbs lack. The Old Davie School district, the Chamber events, and the A-1 agricultural parcels create a town feeling that buyers from dense Miami Beach or Brickell typically describe as the specific thing they were looking for when they decided to move north. Price per square foot is part of the story. Civic character is the rest of it.
