Lake Estates at Rolling Hills Davie FL Buyer Guide 2026

Is Lake Estates at Rolling Hills a good fit for Davie buyers?
Lake Estates at Rolling Hills is a guard gated single family community in Davie 33328, built inside the Rolling Hills Golf and Tennis Club area. It holds roughly 150 to 200 custom homes on lake and golf course lots, with one single family HOA covering the staffed gate and shared amenities like tennis, basketball, and walking trails.
If you are looking at Lake Estates at Rolling Hills, you are looking at one of the western Davie enclaves that stays quiet on the open market. Homes here do not turn over often. When one lists, buyers who already know the community move fast. So the smart play is to understand what you are buying before a home hits the feed, not after.
This guide covers what the community actually is, what the HOA runs, how homes tend to be priced, and the specific items you should verify before you tour. Every number below is a starting point. Pull current data and confirm with the association before you write an offer.
What Lake Estates at Rolling Hills actually is
Lake Estates at Rolling Hills is a guard gated collection of custom single family homes in western Davie, ZIP 33328. There are no condos, no townhomes, and no villas inside it. Every home is a detached single family residence, which matters if you want a private lot, a yard, and no shared walls.
The community sits within the broader Rolling Hills Golf and Tennis Club area, one of the established golf oriented pockets of Davie. It built out in the late 1990s, so the homes are true custom builds rather than a repeated builder floor plan. Lots back to either a lake or the golf course in many cases, which is why waterfront and fairway views show up in a large share of the listings.
Access runs through a staffed gate, not just a keypad. That is a real distinction. A guard gated entry means a person controls who comes in, which is different from the unmanned gate codes you find in many Davie communities. If a controlled entrance is on your list, confirm the current gate staffing and hours directly, since communities adjust that over time.
Lake Estates is one of the gated pockets covered on the Davie neighborhoods guide and on the Davie gated communities overview. Reading those two alongside this page gives you the wider set of options in the same price tier.
What the HOA covers and how homes are priced
Lake Estates runs a single family HOA, and you want to know both the dollar figure and what it buys before you tour. Recent dues have run in the range of about 975 dollars a quarter, which comes to roughly 3,900 dollars a year. Treat that as a reference point, not a quote. Confirm the current amount and exactly what it covers with the association, because dues and coverage change from year to year.
In most single family communities of this type, the dues fund the staffed gate, common area landscaping, and shared amenities. Lake Estates carries tennis courts, a basketball court, a picnic pavilion, a playground, and walking trails inside the community. Ask for the current budget and reserve study so you can see how well the association is funded, not just what it charges.
On pricing, homes here trade well into seven figures. Recent sales have generally landed from the high six figures into the low seven figures, and larger lakefront and golf course homes have reached past one and a half million dollars. Custom construction, lot position, and view drive most of the spread, so two homes on the same street can price very differently. Before you anchor to any number, pull current sold comparables and check assessed values on the Broward County Property Appraiser site at bcpa.net. That gives you the tax basis and the ownership history for any parcel you are serious about.
Flood zones, schools, and what to check before you tour
Western Davie has mixed flood zones, so never assume a home in Lake Estates carries the same flood picture as its neighbor. Zones can shift block by block. Look up the exact flood zone for a specific address on the FEMA Flood Map Service Center at msc.fema.gov before you fall for a listing, and get a current insurance quote for that address early. The flood designation drives your insurance cost, and it can change your monthly number more than the interest rate does. The Davie flood zone guide walks through how to read the result.
For schools, Davie 33328 falls inside the Broward County Public Schools system. School assignments are set by attendance boundary, and boundaries get redrawn, so verify the current assigned schools for the exact address rather than trusting an old listing note. Zoning and permitting questions run through the Town of Davie at davie-fl.gov, which is the right place to confirm what you can build or change on a specific lot.
Two more items belong on your pre tour checklist. Ask about the age of the roof and the major systems, since late 1990s custom homes vary widely in how they have been maintained. And request the most recent HOA estoppel and meeting minutes so you can see any pending assessments before they become your problem at closing.
