Driftwood Acres No 5
Homes for Sale in Hollywood, FL
True comps, carrying-cost math, and listings before the portals.
Driftwood Acres No 5 is a small residential pocket in Hollywood where pricing sits at a $480,000 median and homes move in about a month and a half. With only three closings in the most recent quarter, you're looking at a thinly traded enclave—there's no master plan, no HOA amenity package, and no clubhouse to tour. What you pay for here is location within Broward and the character of the individual home.
The median price per square foot of $434 tells you condition and updates will drive individual outcomes more than the community name. For sellers, forty-four days on market is neither instant nor stale; it's a tempo that rewards proper pricing and presentation. For buyers, expect limited inventory and little room to negotiate on well-kept properties, but also the chance to find value in homes that need work.
The 60-Second Overview
Driftwood Acres No 5 market snapshot (as of July 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $480K ($434 per sq ft over the trailing 12 months of closed sales), and a median 44 days on market for closed sales.
A quiet residential subdivision in Hollywood with no shared amenities, where transactions are infrequent and pricing depends heavily on the condition and updates of each individual home.
Who Driftwood Acres No 5 is best for.
Best for
- Buyers with a budget near the median who value low monthly carrying costs and no HOA governance.
- Investors or owner-occupants comfortable evaluating individual home condition and willing to wait for the right listing.
- Households prioritizing Hollywood location and Broward access over on-site recreational amenities.
Probably not for
- Buyers expecting resort-style pools, fitness centers, or gated entry—none of that infrastructure exists here.
- First-time buyers who need frequent, liquid inventory to compare options; turnover is sparse.
- Anyone relying on neighborhood comps alone to price accurately—thin volume demands broker expertise and comparable-property research beyond the subdivision.

The Driftwood Acres No 5 buying strategy.
If we were buying in Driftwood Acres No 5 today, this is the order of operations we would run for our clients.
Underwrite the condition first. Price the roof, HVAC, and systems honestly before judging any list price; condition swings value here more than square footage alone.
Match the home to real comps. Recent sales of similar condition and lot, not the asking price, tell you what a home is worth.
Move deliberately, not desperately. Neither side has a decisive edge, so a well-prepared, fairly-priced offer wins without overpaying.
Line up financing and inspection early. A pre-approval and an inspection plan let you act fast and negotiate from evidence.
Keep an agent in your corner. The listing agent works for the seller; we represent you and prepare a hand-built valuation before any offer in Driftwood Acres No 5.
What the market posture tells you
Three closings over the trailing quarter means Driftwood Acres No 5 doesn't generate the volume data that large master-plans do. The forty-four-day median time on market suggests homes are neither flying off the shelf nor languishing, and the $480,000 median price reflects mid-market Broward pricing without the premium or discount of a heavily amenitized development.
Because there are no community pools, gates, or common areas identified in current MLS data, every dollar of value comes down to lot, layout, roof, mechanicals, and finishes. Buyers here are self-selecting for a no-frills ownership experience—no monthly HOA assessment, but also no one mowing common grass or staffing a front gate. The $434 per-square-foot median indicates you're not paying a location or amenity premium, but you're also not in distressed or severely dated inventory territory.
For sellers, the market is neither hot nor cold. Forty-four days means you'll need realistic pricing and a home that shows well. For buyers, limited turnover means patience: when the right house appears, you may face competition, but you won't be bidding against twenty other offers the way you would in a high-amenity, high-turnover community.
The location and the amenities are priced into every listing in Driftwood Acres No 5. The deal is won or lost on condition, the comps, and the renovation math.
