Jon's Current Read

"Emerald Hills is an established golf-course community in central Hollywood, a mix of golf estates, single-family homes, garden villas, and townhomes around The Club at Emerald Hills, notably without mandatory equity or membership fees. The read is attainable golf-area living with optionality: homes from just under 2,000 to 5,000 square feet, gated subdivisions and traditional streets, and a redevelopment underway (a Nicklaus course redesign, a new clubhouse, and added villas and condos). The buy turns on the product type and subdivision, the lot, condition, and confirming the optional club and any redevelopment impacts."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Emerald Hills market snapshot (as of June 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $284K ($236 per sq ft), with homes averaging 134 days on market and 48.0 months of supply, a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 1 recent closings in live BeachesMLS data.

Emerald Hills is a golf-course community in central Hollywood (ZIP 33021), Broward County, just south of Stirling Road and west of I-95, around The Club at Emerald Hills (Emerald Hills profiles).

It offers a wide selection of housing, including golf estate homes, single-family homes, modern estate homes, garden villas, and large townhomes, most ranging from just under 2,000 to 5,000 square feet with up to six bedrooms, in both gated subdivisions and traditional subdivision settings.

It is notable for being a country club community without mandatory equity and membership fees, so golf and club access are optional. A comprehensive redevelopment is underway, with reporting on a Nicklaus Design course redesign, a new clubhouse and resort-style pool, and the addition of golf villas and condos; confirm the current status and any construction impacts.

Because Emerald Hills spans many product types and subdivisions, the decision is product-and-subdivision specific. Match the product and subdivision to how you live, confirm the optional club and any redevelopment impacts, read condition, and comp within the product type before you offer.

Best for

  • Buyers who want a golf-course community without mandatory equity in central Hollywood
  • Buyers choosing among golf estates, single-family, villas, or townhomes
  • Buyers who value a central Hollywood location near the beach and the Hard Rock

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want a mandatory full country club experience
  • Buyers who want a single, uniform community without redevelopment nearby
  • Buyers who want new-only or no-HOA living

Tight supply and strong demand favor sellers here. Homes still take about two months to sell, though, and with asking prices running above recent sales per square foot, a prepared buyer has room on anything overpriced. Reading each home against the real comps, not the headline trend, is where the edge is.

Community Details at a Glance

Emerald Hills is a golf-course community in central Hollywood (33021) south of Stirling Road and west of I-95, around The Club at Emerald Hills, with golf estates, single-family homes, modern estates, garden villas, and townhomes (just under 2,000 to 5,000 square feet) in gated and traditional subdivisions. It is notable for no mandatory equity or membership fees, with optional golf, and a reported redevelopment (a Nicklaus Design redesign, a new clubhouse, and added villas and condos). HOA fees vary by subdivision; confirm the optional club and redevelopment status. It is zoned to Broward County Public Schools by address; verify with the district.

The takeaway

Three honest price bands. Condition and lot, not the square footage alone, decide where a home lands.

Entry: villas and townhomes
$284K to $284K

The most attainable products are garden villas and townhomes. Confirm the subdivision HOA and any redevelopment impacts before assuming a value.

Lowest entry
Mid: single-family homes
$284K to $284K

The core is single-family homes on golf or interior lots. Product, lot, and condition separate these more than square footage.

Most inventory
High: golf and modern estates
$284K to $284K

The top end is golf estates and modern estate homes on premium lots. These trade on the lot, the view, and the finish.

Strongest resale

Approximate 2026 resale bands from third-party listing data and public records, not NEFAR statistics. Confirm pricing for a specific home.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The trap here is a beautifully staged original-condition home. Staging is cheap; a roof, HVAC, and a full modernization are not. We price the real renovation before you fall for the listing photos, because in an all-resale market that number is the difference between a deal and the most expensive house on the street.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

Most buyers overpay on interior lots in the back half of the community. A sharp renovation can distract you, but the weaker resale position follows the lot, not the finishes. We read the homesite before the kitchen.

Jon Brooks, Momentum Realty
Operator Note

The strongest value pocket is usually a renovated home on a good lot priced just under the next tier up. Buyers chasing the single biggest house often pay top prices for what is really a renovation project.

5 Mistakes Buyers Make in Emerald Hills

15-Second Take
  • Calling the listing agent (who works for the seller)
  • Misjudging the renovation budget
  • Overpaying for an interior lot
  • Underbudgeting the carrying costs
  • Skipping the roof, HVAC, and systems check

The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.

The golf-course setting and the central Hollywood location are priced into every Emerald Hills listing, with no mandatory equity. The deal is won on the product, the lot, and condition, plus a read on the redevelopment, not the sticker.

Why our read on Emerald Hills is different.

Most pages on this community are an automated estimate wrapped in stock copy. This one is built from the live BeachesMLS feed, fourteen years of closed sales, and a renovation-by-renovation read of what actually moves value here, lot by lot. No Zestimate, no guesswork.

Which Lots & Views Hold Value Best

Where the value actually sits. Each home is shaded by its price per square foot (a value read, not just a price) and ringed by lot type, so you can see at a glance which pockets carry a real, durable premium and where a renovation play makes sense.

Value ($/sqft)
$261 value$401 premium

Fill = price per square foot; ring = by realized $/sqft per unit. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from BeachesMLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.

15-Second Take
  • Golf-course and lake lots carry premiums over interior lots.
  • Product type and subdivision matter as much as the lot here.
  • The redevelopment could change the amenity picture; confirm it.

In a multi-product golf community like Emerald Hills, the product type, subdivision, and lot set value, with optional membership and a redevelopment in play. Golf-course and lake lots carry premiums. Compare a home against the closest sale in its own product and subdivision, and confirm the redevelopment and club before the finishes.

HOA, CDD & Fees

15-Second Take
  • No mandatory equity or membership fees; golf is optional.
  • HOA varies by subdivision and product type.
  • A redevelopment (Nicklaus redesign, new clubhouse) is reported.
  • Golf-course and lake lots hold value best.
  • Comp by product type and subdivision.

Emerald Hills spans many subdivisions and product types, so HOA fees vary; the community is notable for no mandatory equity or membership fees, with golf and club access optional. Treat any figure as reported and confirm the current subdivision HOA, the optional club options, and any redevelopment-related changes before you offer.

Subdivision HOAs (where present) generally cover common areas and product-specific services; gated subdivisions cover the gate. The optional club covers golf and amenity access. Confirm exactly what each covers.

The Club at Emerald Hills, a top-rated golf course, with optional (non-mandatory) membership; a redevelopment proposes a Nicklaus Design redesign and a new clubhouse. Confirm current and planned amenities and the membership options.

The takeaway

Selling here is won on condition and view, not the Zestimate. The right number comes from closed comps matched to your renovation level and lot.

In Emerald Hills, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Emerald Hills, a home priced to the community average instead of its true condition and view either leaves money on the table or sits. A renovated kitchen, newer roof and HVAC, and a golf or lake view all deserve to show up in your price, and a buyer pool reading renovation math needs to be shown why your home is worth it. We build that case with real comps and a pricing strategy for the current market.
