Long Lake Estates Davie: What It Actually Is
One of the three separately-gated sections that make up Long Lake Ranches — a guard-gated luxury estate community in western Davie built by GL Homes.
Long Lake Estates is one of three gated sections of Long Lake Ranches in western Davie — the others are the original Long Lake Ranches and the newer Long Lake Ranches West. GL Homes-built custom estates on half-acre to roughly 1.4-acre lots, many backing to the community's lakes, behind a 24/7 manned gate. Call before you visit, and confirm which section a listing is actually in before you compare it to the others.
Long Lake Estates is not a stand-alone community — it's one of three separately-gated sections that together make up Long Lake Ranches in western Davie, Broward County. If you're comparing it to a fully independent gated community, the more accurate comparison is against Long Lake Ranches as a whole, with Long Lake Estates as one of its sections.
What Long Lake Estates Actually Is
Location: Western Davie, Broward County · Builder: GL Homes · Built: 2000s
Long Lake Ranches is a guard-gated luxury estate community made up of three separately-gated sections, each with its own controlled entrance: the original Long Lake Ranches, Long Lake Estates, and Long Lake Ranches West (the newest of the three). All three share custom GL Homes estate construction on lots ranging roughly from half an acre to 1.4 acres, with many homes backing to the community's lakes.
This is a gated single-family estate section — not raw acreage, and not a condo or townhome product.
Before You Offer — Checklist
Confirm the section: Never assume from a listing photo or address alone which of the three gated sections a home sits in. Ask directly and confirm before comparing pricing across sections.
Confirm current HOA fees: Never rely on a listing estimate — get the current figure in writing directly from the association, since it can vary by section.
School zone: Never rely on a listing's stated zoning — verify directly with Broward County Public Schools using the specific address.
Lot and lake access: Never assume a lake-view or lake-backing lot without confirming it directly — not every homesite within the section backs to water.
The Honest Read
Who thrives here: Buyers who want a guard-gated custom estate lot in western Davie with GL Homes construction quality, and who are comfortable evaluating it as part of the larger Long Lake Ranches community rather than a fully independent one.
Who should look elsewhere: Buyers looking specifically for raw acreage or an equestrian-zoned property — this is a gated single-family estate section, not agricultural or equestrian land.
