The Oaks of Davie in Davie: The New Construction Guide (Floor Plans, Pricing, What to Know)

If you’re researching The Oaks of Davie Davie new construction options, here’s the short version: this is a 12-home gated community built by Rhino Homes at 1275 SW 130th Ave in Davie, with five floor plans ranging from about 3,094 to 4,866 air-conditioned square feet, priced from $1,550,000. It’s nearly sold out. That last part matters more than most of what follows, because it changes how you should approach this community compared to a 200-home Pulte or Lennar development where you have months to decide.

This guide walks through what’s actually being built, the floor plan lineup, what’s included, the location tradeoffs, what to expect on HOA and fees, and how it stacks up against the other new construction options in Davie right now. If you want the shorter verdict-style breakdown, we also wrote a dedicated Oaks of Davie Review that covers prices, floor plans, HOA, and CDD in a more condensed format. This piece is the full guide.

What’s Actually Being Built at The Oaks of Davie

The Oaks of Davie is not a mass-production subdivision. It’s a boutique, gated enclave of 12 custom estate residences, built by Rhino Homes, a builder that markets itself as having more than 30 years in South Florida. That’s a meaningfully different model than what you’ll find at most new construction communities in this corridor.

Most builders in Davie right now, Pulte at Marigold being the clearest example, are running production home building. You pick from a set list of finishes, the floor plans are locked, and the community has 100+ homesites moving through a build schedule over a couple of years. Rhino Homes is positioning The Oaks of Davie differently: custom builds, with real finish personalization, on a total of 12 homesites inside a gated entry. When a builder tells you there are only 12 homes total and they’re nearly sold out, that’s not a sales tactic you should be skeptical of by default, it’s just math. Twelve is a small number, and once they’re gone, the builder isn’t opening a phase two on the same footprint.

Two-story construction across the board, four to five bedrooms, three to 5.5 bathrooms depending on plan. This is a community built for people who want a genuinely large, semi-custom home in Davie without going the teardown-and-rebuild route or waiting on a fully custom architect-led build that can take 18 to 24 months longer.

Why “Nearly Sold Out” Changes Your Approach

With a 12-lot community, you don’t get the luxury of touring, going home to think about it, coming back next month, and still having your preferred plan and lot combination available. If a specific floor plan or a specific lot position (corner lot, cul-de-sac, preferred orientation) matters to you, that inventory could be gone by the time you’ve finished comparing it against two other communities. This is the one community in this guide where I’d tell you to call first and research second, not the other way around.

The Oaks of Davie Floor Plans

Here’s the full lineup, based on the builder’s brochure. Five plans, all two-story, all designed around open-concept main living with volume ceilings.

Siena is the entry point into the community: 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, 3,094 air-conditioned square feet (about 3,533 total including garage and covered spaces). It’s built with flexible secondary spaces, meaning bedrooms or bonus rooms that can flex into a home office or gym, plus a spa-style primary bath.

Lugano steps up to 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, at 3,079 air-conditioned square feet (roughly 4,004 total). The owner’s suite is upstairs with a spa bath and dual walk-in closets, which is a layout a lot of Davie buyers specifically ask for because it puts distance between the primary suite and the main living areas.

Norkita is 4 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, at 3,356 air-conditioned square feet (about 3,852 total). What sets this plan apart is that secondary bedrooms get their own en-suite baths, plus terraces and porches built into the plan. That’s a meaningful upgrade if you’re buying with in-laws, adult children, or frequent long-term guests in mind.

Turin moves into the larger tier: 5 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, at 3,628 air-conditioned square feet (roughly 4,486 total). It includes a versatile loft and an owner’s suite with dual walk-in closets, which functions well as either a second living area or a dedicated media room depending on how you use the space.

White Oak is the flagship: 5 bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, 3,446 air-conditioned square feet, but 4,708 total square feet once you include covered terraces, making it the plan with the most indoor-outdoor living space. It’s built around a soaring main floor and a loft, and it’s the plan most likely to appeal to buyers who entertain regularly or want a defined separation between formal and casual living zones.

Which Plan Fits Which Buyer

If you’re a growing family that wants four bedrooms without paying for square footage you won’t use, Siena or Lugano are the practical entry points. If you specifically need guest suites with privacy (multigenerational households, or buyers who host extended family from out of state regularly), Norkita’s en-suite secondary bedrooms solve a real problem that most production floor plans in this price range don’t address well. If you want the largest footprint and the most outdoor living space for the money, White Oak is the plan to ask about first, understanding it will also be the first plan to sell out given only 12 total lots across five plans.

What’s Included at The Oaks of Davie

Rhino Homes builds these as custom homes, which means the base spec is already higher than what you’d get as a base offering from a large production builder. Included:

• Open-concept layouts with volume ceilings throughout the main living areas
• Chef-inspired gourmet kitchens with oversized islands
• Premium soft-close cabinetry
• Designer stone countertops with full backsplashes (not just a strip behind the range)
• Spa-style primary bathrooms with dual closets
• Impact-resistant windows and doors throughout, which matters in Broward County both for insurance and for storm season, not just as a nice-to-have
• Smart-home technology built in
• Energy-efficient systems
• Premium porcelain tile flooring

Because this is a custom build model, not a fixed design-center menu, you have more room to negotiate finish-level upgrades or changes than you would at a production community. That’s the tradeoff for the higher entry price point: you’re not just buying square footage, you’re buying flexibility in how the home gets finished.

Location: Davie Address, Plantation Schools

Here’s something buyers need to know before they fall in love with a floor plan: the builder’s own materials cite Plantation Elementary, Plantation Middle, and Plantation High as the relevant schools, despite The Oaks of Davie carrying a Davie mailing address at 1275 SW 130th Ave. This isn’t unusual in this part of Broward County, school zoning lines don’t always follow municipal boundaries, but it is something you need to confirm directly with Broward County Public Schools before you buy specifically because of a school assignment. Don’t assume “Davie address” means “Davie schools.” Verify the parcel’s actual zoning.

The brochure also references Plantation Preserve Golf Course as a nearby amenity, which places this community close to the Davie/Plantation line, giving residents access to both areas’ retail and dining without a long commute either direction.

Corridor and Commute Reality

Davie sits in a strong position for anyone commuting toward Fort Lauderdale, Sunrise, or west toward Weston and Southwest Ranches. If your work takes you east toward downtown Fort Lauderdale or the airport, you’re looking at a reasonable daily drive using University Drive or Pine Island Road depending on which side of town you’re headed. If you’re commuting toward Sawgrass Mills, Sunrise, or west Broward generally, you’re already close. This isn’t a community you’d choose for a short walk to a beach or a downtown core, it’s a community you choose because it puts you centrally located in Broward with quick access in multiple directions.

HOA and CDD: What to Actually Confirm

I’m not going to hand you a specific HOA dollar figure here, because the honest answer is the brochure processed for this guide didn’t include a published monthly HOA number, and guessing on a number like that does you no favors when you’re comparing real numbers against Marigold or Estates by Turnberry. What I can tell you: this is a gated community, and gated communities carry HOA dues by default to cover the gate, common area landscaping, and any shared amenities. Given it’s a boutique 12-home community, don’t expect the dues to be trivial, boutique gated communities often carry higher per-home HOA costs than large production communities because the fixed costs of the gate and common areas get split across far fewer homeowners.

Before you write an offer, get the actual HOA figure in writing from the sales office, and ask directly whether there’s a CDD (Community Development District) fee layered on top, which is common in newer Broward and Palm Beach developments and shows up as a separate line on your tax bill, not folded into the HOA. If you want a template for how to evaluate HOA and CDD costs on a comparable Davie new construction community, our breakdown of Marigold’s HOA and CDD fees walks through exactly what to ask for and how those numbers actually hit your monthly payment.

How The Oaks of Davie Compares to Other Davie New Construction

You have real alternatives within a few miles if The Oaks of Davie’s price point or its 12-home scarcity doesn’t work for you.

Marigold, built by Pulte Homes, also in Davie, starts from $1,335,990, meaningfully below The Oaks of Davie’s $1,550,000 starting point. If you want new construction in Davie without stretching past the $1.5 million mark, Marigold is the more accessible entry point, and we’ve covered it extensively: the full Marigold new construction guide, a breakdown of Marigold’s floor plans, and an honest is Marigold worth it analysis if you want to compare value directly against what The Oaks of Davie offers at a higher price.

Estates by Turnberry sits at the opposite end, from $1.7 to $2.2 million, built on 20,000 to 25,000-plus square foot homesites, considerably larger than what you’ll find at The Oaks of Davie or Marigold. If lot size and space between neighbors matters more to you than price, that’s the community to look at instead.

Vineyards is another Davie new construction option worth putting on your comparison list if you’re touring this corridor, particularly if you want to see the range of builders and price points currently active in Davie before committing to any one community.

The honest positioning for The Oaks of Davie: it sits in the middle of these three on price, but it’s the smallest community by unit count and the most custom in terms of build approach. You’re not comparing apples to apples on lot size the way you would between Marigold and Estates by Turnberry, you’re comparing a production-scale community against a boutique 12-home enclave. That distinction should drive your decision more than the price gap alone.

The Smart Way to Approach the Builder

Because there are only 12 total homes and the community is already marketed as nearly sold out, treat your first call differently than you would with a 150-lot production community. Specifically:

1. Call before you tour. Ask directly how many homesites remain and which floor plans are still available. Don’t assume all five plans are still open, the flagship White Oak and the multigenerational-friendly Norkita are the two most likely to move first given how narrow their use cases are.
2. Ask for the actual HOA and CDD numbers in writing before you get emotionally attached to a specific lot. Verbal estimates change.
3. Confirm school zoning independently through Broward County Public Schools rather than relying on the brochure’s Plantation schools reference, especially if a specific school assignment is part of your decision.
4. Get the build timeline in writing for whichever lot and plan you’re considering. Custom-build communities can have more schedule variability than production builders because finish-level changes take longer to execute.
5. Bring your own buyer’s agent to the table before you sign anything with the builder’s on-site rep. The builder’s sales team represents the builder, not you. Having representation costs you nothing as the buyer in most new construction transactions in Florida, and it means someone is reviewing the purchase contract, deposit structure, and any HOA documents on your behalf specifically.

You can reach the community’s sales office directly at (305) 822-1111, or the community’s listed agent, Yaneth Jara, at (305) 898-1029 or yanethjara@usarhinohomes.net. Given the scarcity here, if a specific plan or lot has your attention, don’t sit on it while you finish comparing every other Davie community first. Call, confirm availability, then do your comparison shopping with real, current numbers instead of brochure pricing that may already be outdated by the time you’re ready to write an offer.

Who The Oaks of Davie Actually Fits

This community makes the most sense for buyers who want a large, semi-custom home (four to five bedrooms, 3,000 to nearly 4,900 square feet) in a gated, low-density setting, and who have some flexibility on finish selections rather than wanting a fully locked, pre-designed production home. It’s a strong fit for move-up buyers coming from a smaller home in Davie, Plantation, or Cooper City who want more space and a gated address without leaving the area, and for multigenerational households drawn to the Norkita plan’s private en-suite secondary bedrooms.

It’s a weaker fit if lot size is your top priority (Estates by Turnberry offers considerably more land), if you need the absolute lowest entry price for new construction in Davie (Marigold starts nearly $215,000 lower), or if you want the flexibility of touring for a few months before deciding, since inventory this limited doesn’t wait.

If you want the condensed verdict on pricing, HOA, CDD, and who this community is genuinely built for, read the full Oaks of Davie Review. If you’re still comparing Davie’s new construction landscape broadly, the Marigold Review is worth reading side by side with this guide before you make a call either direction.

Next Step

If The Oaks of Davie is on your shortlist, don’t spend another two weeks comparing brochures. With 12 total homesites and the community already marketed as nearly sold out, the plan and lot you want today may not be there next month. Get in touch, and I’ll help you confirm real-time availability, pull current HOA and CDD figures, and compare it honestly against Marigold, Estates by Turnberry, and Vineyards based on what actually matters for your situation, not just the brochure numbers.
