Weston vs Davie Real Estate: Touring 484 Cambridge Dr

How does Weston real estate compare to Davie when you are choosing between South Florida communities?

I am Anthony Spitaleri, a Davie native and Broker Associate with Coldwell Banker. Most of the buyers I work with are deciding between two distinct South Florida lifestyles, and they usually come to me already weighing both. Davie acreage with no HOA, or a Weston planned community with managed amenities. The right answer depends on what you actually value in your day to day life, not on which city has a better reputation.

This weekend I am hosting an open house at 484 Cambridge Drive in Weston, a four bedroom two and a half bath single family home listed at $1.15 million. The property gives a clear window into what middle of the market Weston single family inventory looks like in 2026. Hosting open houses across Davie and Weston is part of what I do as a Coldwell Banker Broker Associate, and I am hosting this one because I tour Weston regularly with Davie buyers who want to see both markets before deciding.

Open House Times:

• Saturday May 16, 2026: 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM
• Sunday May 17, 2026: 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM

Address: 484 Cambridge Drive, Weston, FL 33326. No appointment required.

What 484 Cambridge Drive offers

The home is a four bedroom two and a half bath single family on a 10,631 square foot lot. Built in 1993, it carries thoughtful design and what the listing describes as understated elegance. At 2,672 square feet of living space inside 3,393 square feet under roof, it sits in the meaningful middle of Weston inventory. Larger than the entry level Weston three bedroom homes that anchor the lower price band, smaller than the gated estate inventory that pushes well above $2 million.

The price per square foot works out to about $430 on living area, which sits at the upper end of the North Lakes range in 2026. The premium reflects the impact glass throughout, the 2019 Spanish tile roof, the remodeled kitchen with Cambria Berwyn countertops and custom cabinetry to the ceiling, the lake view, and the in-ground pool. It is not the cheapest home in North Lakes. It is the turn-key option for buyers who want the Weston address and the Cypress Bay school assignment without renovating after closing.

Where Cambridge Drive sits inside Weston

The 33326 zip code covers most of Weston’s residential core. Cambridge Drive sits inside the North Lakes community, a guard gated single family neighborhood built by Arvida between 1996 and 1998 on the north side of Indian Trace between Saddle Club Road and I-75. North Lakes is organized into four sub communities: Cambridge Lake, Carrington Lake, Heritage Lake, and Stanton Lake. 484 Cambridge Drive sits in Cambridge Lake, the premium pocket of the four.

Schools assigned to this address:

• Eagle Point Elementary School — ranked in the top three percent of Florida elementary schools by U.S. News, located at the North Lakes community entrance
• Tequesta Trace Middle School — consistently top performing in the Broward County Public Schools middle school rankings
• Cypress Bay High School — among the highest performing high schools in all of Broward County

Nearby Weston anchors within five minutes:

• Weston Town Center — restaurants, fitness, daily shopping
• Weston Regional Park — fields, walking paths, weekend community activity
• Cleveland Clinic Weston — major South Florida medical campus
• Royal Palm Boulevard corridor — main east west spine of Weston

Wider South Florida access from 484 Cambridge:

• I-75 northbound — Sawgrass Mills, Sunrise, Coral Springs in 10 to 15 minutes
• I-75 southbound — Miami Lakes, Doral, and Brickell corridor for commuters
• Markham Park in Sunrise — outdoor recreation and one of the larger county parks
• Fort Lauderdale International Airport — approximately 25 minutes
• Miami International Airport — approximately 30 minutes via I-75 and the 826

This is the Weston that buyers picture when they say they want Weston. Structured, school anchored, ten minutes from highway access in any direction.

Street level comparison: Weston vs Davie

This is where the conversation matters for buyers. The two cities sit fifteen minutes apart geographically but operate as different markets on five dimensions.

HOA structure. Most Weston neighborhoods sit inside master planned communities with active HOAs that manage common areas, gates, lawn care, and architectural standards. The monthly fees range widely but the structure is consistent. Davie runs the opposite way. Many Davie neighborhoods have no HOA at all, especially in the agricultural zones west of University Drive. For buyers who want to park a boat in the driveway, run a side business from a detached structure, or skip the architectural review process, Davie is the answer.

Lot size and zoning. A typical Weston single family lot runs 6,000 to 12,000 square feet. Cambridge Drive at roughly 10,631 square feet sits at the upper end of that band. In Davie, the equivalent price point can buy you a half acre to a full acre depending on the neighborhood. Davie also has A-1 agricultural and RS-2 zones that allow horses, sheds, and a level of land use that Weston structures do not permit.

Schools. Both cities sit inside Broward County Public Schools. Weston feeds Cypress Bay High School which consistently posts the strongest performance numbers in the county. Davie feeds Western High School which performs steadily and serves a different geography. The school zone overlap matters most for relocation buyers who are choosing the city based on which feeder zone their target address falls into.

Commute. Weston sits closer to I-75 with direct access to Doral, Miami Lakes, and Brickell via the corridor. Davie sits closer to I-595 with stronger access to Fort Lauderdale, downtown, and the airport. Both work for South Florida professionals, but the commute math is real depending on where the office is.

Lifestyle character. Weston feels planned. Sidewalks, calmed traffic streets, manicured medians, organized recreation. Davie feels semi rural. Bridle paths next to residential streets, larger lots breathing between homes, and the cowboy town identity that defines the brand. The right buyer for one is rarely the right buyer for the other.

Davie landmarks worth knowing if you are also touring there

If 484 Cambridge in Weston is on your list, the Davie side of the comparison usually shows up at one of these anchors:

• Tree Tops Park — large county park off Hiatus Road, defines the recreational character of east Davie
• Pine Island Park — community recreation hub for central Davie families
• Bergeron Rodeo Grounds — the symbol of the Davie cowboy town identity, hosts the annual Davie Pro Rodeo
• Davie Town Hall — at 6591 Orange Drive, where the zoning decisions that affect Davie property values happen
• Nova Southeastern University — major Davie campus and medical complex
• Bit by Bit Therapeutic Riding Center — Davie’s signature equestrian nonprofit, anchors the bridle path identity
• Long Lake Ranches, Hawkes Bluff, Shenandoah, Forest Ridge, Ivanhoe Estates, Rolling Hills, Flamingo Gardens — the seven priority Davie neighborhoods for $600K to $3M buyers

The two cities share Broward County Public Schools jurisdiction, share access to South Florida’s major highway corridors, and share the same buyer demographics for relocation traffic from the Northeast and California. They diverge sharply on lot size, zoning, HOA structure, and lifestyle texture.

Who Weston is right for

If your priority is predictability, structured amenities, top performing elementary and high schools, and a Doral or Miami Lakes commute, Weston wins. The HOA structure means your neighbor cannot install a thirty foot RV in the front yard. The community pool, tennis courts, and walking trails are managed by professionals you pay for in your monthly fee. Resale is consistent because the inventory is similar across the neighborhood.

Who Davie is right for

If your priority is land, flexibility, equestrian access, no HOA restrictions, or a Fort Lauderdale commute, Davie wins. The same $1.15 million in Davie can pull a half acre lot with a pool, mature trees, and the freedom to build, fence, or zone for horses depending on which neighborhood you target. Long Lake Ranches, Hawkes Bluff, Shenandoah, and Ivanhoe Estates each offer a different version of that flexibility.

How to attend the open house

Both days, Saturday May 16 and Sunday May 17, from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. Address is 484 Cambridge Drive, Weston, FL 33326. Walk in, no appointment required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Weston from Davie?

Weston and Davie sit roughly fifteen minutes apart along Griffin Road and Indian Trace. Many buyers tour both in the same afternoon. The two cities share Broward County school district boundaries in a few feeder zones, so depending on the address some Weston homes feed into schools that also serve Davie families.

What is the average price per square foot in Weston compared to Davie?

In 2026, Weston single family homes inside North Lakes trade in the $390 to $430 per square foot range depending on lake view, pool, impact glass, and remodel level. Davie single family homes at the same total price band often trade at a lower per square foot figure but typically come with materially larger lots. The total monthly cost of ownership often lands higher in Weston due to HOA fees that Davie acreage properties do not carry.

What schools serve 484 Cambridge Drive in Weston?

Eagle Point Elementary at the North Lakes entrance, Tequesta Trace Middle, and Cypress Bay High School. Eagle Point ranks in the top three percent of Florida elementary schools, and Cypress Bay is among the highest performing high schools in Broward County by school grade and academic indicators.

What is near 484 Cambridge Drive?

Weston Town Center for daily shopping and restaurants, Weston Regional Park for outdoor recreation, Cleveland Clinic Weston for medical access, and direct I-75 access within five minutes for North and South Broward commuting. Sawgrass Mills, Markham Park, and Fort Lauderdale International Airport are each approximately 15 to 25 minutes away.

Do all Weston neighborhoods have HOAs?

Most Weston neighborhoods sit inside master planned communities with active HOAs. There are a few exceptions on the older Indian Trace corridor, but the default for Weston is structured HOA living. If no HOA is a priority, Davie offers significantly more inventory in that lane.

Can I tour 484 Cambridge Drive if I am buying in Davie?

Yes, and I encourage it. Many buyers benefit from seeing what the same budget buys in both cities before they commit to a neighborhood. I will pull comparable Davie listings in your price band while we walk the Cambridge property so you have a real apples to apples comparison.
