An established Hollywood golf community around a course slated for redesign.
Listings before the portals, true comps, and the renovation and carrying-cost math, before you tour.
"Emerald Hills is a central-Hollywood golf community with a wide range of product, from ranch and estate homes to condos and townhomes across many sub-associations, several gated, around The Club at Emerald Hills. A 2024-approved plan would redesign the course and add condominiums along the fairways, with the course set to close during redevelopment, which is the key value swing. Your leverage is reading the sub-association, the dues, and how a specific home relates to the changing course."

Emerald Hills market snapshot (as of June 13, 2026): the median sale price is about $1.2M ($436 per sq ft), with homes averaging 109 days on market and 10.0 months of supply, a buyer's market. Based on 12 recent closings in live BeachesMLS data.
Emerald Hills is an established golf community in central Hollywood, Broward County, in the 33021 ZIP, organized around The Club at Emerald Hills. Housing ranges from ranch and estate single-family homes to condos and townhomes across multiple sub-associations, several of them gated.
Third-party sources report monthly dues from roughly $225 to $900 or more depending on the sub-association, so the all-in number varies widely by product and section. A 2024-approved plan would redesign the course and add condominiums along the fairways, with the course set to close during redevelopment.
The buy here is the sub-association and the product type, read against the course redevelopment. Confirm the dues and what they cover, and weigh how a specific home relates to the changing course.
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.

The factors that actually move value in Emerald Hills, condition, lot, and the renovation math, read from current listings and recent sales.
Updated homes ask about 1% more per square foot than original-condition homes, and they tend to sell faster. In an all-resale market, condition is the single biggest swing in value, which is why reading the renovation math is the whole game.
From current Emerald Hills listings (renovated 5, original 5); condition inferred from listing descriptions, asking not closed figures. The exact number depends on a specific home's updates, lot, and view, which is the read we do before you offer.
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.
On a preferred homesite (water, preserve, corner, or a larger lot), the homesite is the part of your money the market gives back at resale. The house can be renovated; the lot cannot, so premium lots hold their value better than interior ones. How much more they command varies by frontage, view, and condition, which is why we read it home by home against real comparable sales rather than a single headline figure.
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.
Our read on the factors that protect resale here, and the one to manage.
Momentum analysis based on the community's structure, location, lot scarcity, and housing stock. Not a guarantee of future value.
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.
The same five mistakes cost buyers the most in any market. Every one is avoidable with the right preparation before you tour.
1The agent on the sign works for the seller. In a market where condition swings price by hundreds of thousands, negotiating against that agent with no one in your corner is the costliest move of all.
2A dated home looks like a deal until you price the roof, HVAC, pool, and full modernization honestly. Underbudget the reno and the bargain becomes the expensive house.
3A premium homesite (water, preserve, or a preferred position) carries a real, durable premium. Pay a top price for an interior lot and you are buying the weakest version of the value.
4Two similar homes can cost very differently to own once the HOA, any CDD, insurance, and upkeep are priced in. Buyers who do not run the full monthly carrying cost misread the real number.
5An older home means older systems unless updated. Roof age, HVAC age, pool equipment, and prior renovations drive both price and insurability, and a thorough inspection matters more here than in a new build.
The golf setting and the address are in every listing. The deal turns on the sub-association, the dues, and the course redesign.
Our proprietary 0 to 10 read across the five factors that decide how a home here buys, holds, and resells.
Momentum Intelligence Scores are our proprietary, qualitative assessment based on the analysis on this page, on a 0 to 10 scale. They are a framework for comparing communities, not a guarantee of future value or advice on a specific home.
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.
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.
Fill = price per square foot; ring = lot type, inferred from listing descriptions. Sold homes are shown by realized $/sqft (lot type not always recorded). Asking and recent-sold figures from BeachesMLS; for orientation, not an appraisal.
The houses can be renovated, but the lot and view cannot. Golf frontage, lakefront, and preserve lots consistently command higher premiums and resell faster than interior lots backing to another home. The premium you pay for a great homesite is the discount you avoid when you sell.
The mistake is paying an estate price for a base interior lot. We help buyers spot which homesites carry real, durable premiums and which are dressed-up interiors, so your money lands where the market will give it back.
Open views over the course or the 26 community lakes. The scarcest, most in-demand homesites; they command the highest premiums and resell fastest.
Backing to protected preserve means privacy with no rear neighbor. A consistent favorite that holds value well above a standard interior lot.
Less traffic, more yard, and an easy walk to the club for some streets. A real but smaller premium that depends on the street and parcel size.
The most affordable way through the gates, and the best renovation value. Just do not pay a golf or lake price for one, this is where buyers most often overpay.
Reported roughly $225 to $900 a month or more depending on the sub-association (third-party reported); confirm the current dues and inclusions for the specific home and section.
Reported to cover common areas and, in gated sub-communities, their own pools and clubhouses; the schedule varies widely by section, so confirm per home.

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.
If you are selling in Emerald Hills, the right list price comes from recent comparable sales in your sub-association and product type, with the course redevelopment factored in, not an automated estimate.
Sold-to-list and days-on-market figures reflect Momentum Realty listings versus our market average, year to date. Your home's result depends on pricing, condition, lot, view, and preparation.
Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Orangebrook, 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.
