Jon's Current Read

"Forest Ridge is an established single-family community in Davie, Mediterranean homes built in the 1980s and 1990s on lake-dotted streets with parks, trails, and a dog park. The read is floor plan plus lot plus condition: the plan, the lake or interior lot, and an honest read of a 1980s-to-90s home drive value, while the lakes, the trails, and the central Davie location near shops and schools support demand. The setting and location are the durable draw; the plan, the lot, and condition are the deal. Confirm any association, the lot, and condition before you write."

Jon Brooks, founder, Momentum Realty · Updated June 2026

The 60-Second Overview

Forest Ridge market snapshot (as of June 15, 2026): the median sale price is about $812K ($379 per sq ft), a buyer-leaning market (limited data). Based on 15 recent closings in live BeachesMLS data.

Forest Ridge is an established single-family community in Davie, Broward County, of homes built largely in the 1980s and 1990s in a Mediterranean style with barrel-tile roofs and stucco walls, on streets dotted with lakes.

The community is single-family in character with open floor plans up to roughly 3,000 square feet, garages or carports, spacious lawns, patios, and many private pools, with lake views from many properties. The floor plan, the lot and any lake view, and condition are the value drivers.

Amenities include a community park, a playground, a dog park, and walking and jogging trails, with shared pools and recreation areas, in a central Davie location near shops, restaurants, schools, and transport links. Sources differ on whether all of Forest Ridge is gated, so confirm the access arrangement for a specific section.

Diligence is the diligence of an established 1980s-to-90s community: confirm any association or sub-association dues and what they cover, the reserves and any assessment, the floor plan and lot and any lake view, the rules and any rental restriction, and the condition of the home and its roof and systems. Price by floor plan, lot, and condition, not by the community name.

Best for

  • Buyers who want an established Mediterranean single-family home with lakes and trails in central Davie
  • Buyers who value parks, a dog park, and a convenient Davie location near schools
  • Buyers comfortable updating a 1980s-to-90s home

Probably not for

  • Buyers who want new construction, a guard-gated luxury estate, or acreage
  • Anyone seeking a no-association lifestyle or a coastal-walkable address
  • Buyers who want a low-maintenance condo or townhome

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.

    Profiled as an established Davie Mediterranean community

    Forest Ridge is described as an established single-family community in Davie of Mediterranean homes built largely in the 1980s and 1990s with barrel-tile roofs and stucco walls, open floor plans up to roughly 3,000 square feet, many with pools and lake views, with a community park, playground, dog park, and walking and jogging trails, central to shops, schools, and transport. Why it matters: The floor plan, the lot, and condition define the purchase. Confirm any association and the condition, then comp by plan and lot. Source

If we were buying in Forest Ridge, this is the order of operations we would run, and the one we run for our clients.

1

Confirm the floor plan. Identify the plan, its layout and size, against the home you are considering.

2

Read the lot and view. Lake lots carry premiums; interior lots trade lower.

3

Confirm any association and access. Verify any dues, what they cover, the reserves, any assessment, and whether the section is gated.

4

Inspect the home. Roof, HVAC, and systems on a 1980s-to-90s home; price condition rather than assuming a fee covers it.

5

Comp by plan and lot. Match the home to recent closed sales of the same plan and a similar lot, not to a community average.

Best Buy
An updated home of a desirable plan on a lake lot, any association confirmed, priced to recent comparable sales of the same plan.
Biggest Risk
Pricing a dated 1980s-to-90s home like an updated one, or missing a roof or systems replacement.
Best Lot
Lake lots carry premiums; interior lots trade lower.
Smart Timing
Established central-Davie demand near schools stays steady, so a prepared buyer who reads the plan and prices condition competes well.

Community Details at a Glance

Forest Ridge is an established single-family community in Davie, Broward County (ZIP 33330), of Mediterranean homes built largely in the 1980s and 1990s on lake-dotted streets, with open floor plans up to roughly 3,000 square feet, many with pools and lake views, and amenities including a community park, playground, dog park, and walking and jogging trails.

15-Second Take
  • Renovation math decides the deal
  • Better lots and views resell strongest
  • Roof and HVAC age drive the insurance quote
  • Interior lots are where buyers overpay
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.

Momentum analysis based on the community's structure, location, lot scarcity, and housing stock. Not a guarantee of future value.

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 Forest Ridge

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 lakes, the trails, the parks, and the central Davie location near schools are priced into every Forest Ridge listing. The deal is in the floor plan, the lot, and an honest read of a 1980s-to-90s home, not the community name.

Why our read on Forest Ridge 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
Lake / waterPreserveInterior

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.

15-Second Take
  • Lake lots carry the premiums here.
  • Interior lots trade lower.
  • The floor plan and condition drive value as much as the lot.

In an established community, value turns on the floor plan, the lot, and condition. Lake lots command premiums, while interior lots and original-condition homes trade lower for good reason. Because the homes date to the 1980s and 1990s, compare a home against recent closed sales of the same plan and a similar lot, then price the roof and systems against it.

The edgeComping the correct plan and pricing the roof and systems on a 1980s-to-90s home lets a prepared buyer avoid a deferred-maintenance surprise.

HOA, CDD & Fees

15-Second Take
  • Dues and access vary by section; some are gated, some open.
  • Amenities are parks, a dog park, trails, and shared pools.
  • Confirm any association reserves and the access arrangement before you buy.

Forest Ridge's costs depend on the section and any association: some sections are gated with their own dues, others are open. Confirm any current dues, what they cover, the reserves, any assessment, and the access arrangement for the specific section before you offer.

Where an association applies, dues generally fund common areas, the shared pools and recreation, the parks and trails, and any gated entry; confirm the exact inclusions and reserve position with the relevant association.

Recreation centers on the community park, playground, dog park, walking and jogging trails, and shared pools rather than an equity club; confirm the specific amenities available to the section with its association.

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 Forest Ridge, condition and view decide your number

Because buyers here are weighing your home against renovated comps and cross-shopping Forest Ridge, 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.
