A quiet gated community built around the former Cypress Creek Country Club

Cypress Creek is a community on the brink of major change. This quaint gated community was built around the Cypress Creek Country Club in the late 1970s. But in 2018 the club permanently closed, changing the landscape. Over the past several years, it’s sat empty as developers bid to develop the land. Most recently, the Toll Brothers submitted a plan to purchase it and build around 150 homes, two community parks and several small lakes. The proposal has yet to be approved by Palm Beach County, so until then Cypress Creek will remain the quiet neighborhood filled with custom homes that overlook the course that it is today.

A community of 421 custom homes

The neighborhood consists of three main subdivisions: Cypress Creek, Bent Tree Villas East and Bent Tree Villas West. Cypress Creek is a gated community built on and around the golf course. Currently, there are 421 houses in the subdivision, but if developers successfully purchase the land, that number will balloon. Most homes here are custom ranches and Spanish Mission styles on lots that max out around one-third of an acre. Smaller single-story homes with two to four bedrooms range from $555,000 to $835,000, while large Spanish Mission estates with three to five bedrooms sell for between $870,000 and $1.35 million. The Bent Tree Villas subdivisions are 55-plus communities with a mix of renovated two-bedroom condos and single-family homes built in the 1980s. Prices range from $225,000 to $350,000. They are a bit farther out from the golf course, so they are less likely to be heavily affected by construction. Of note: all three communities have required HOAs. “It’s one of the very few neighborhoods with an HOA in Palm Beach County that I would consider moving to,” says Brett Colby, an associate of 20 years with RE/MAX Direct. He points to the neighborhood’s relatively low HOA fees, larger-than-normal lot sizes and safety.

POA advocates for safety measures following the discovery of contaminated soil

Directly following the closure of the country club, Pulte Homes submitted a proposal to buy the land. The deal would later fall through, but while working on their proposal, they conducted a series of soil tests that showed the presence of high levels of arsenic, pesticides and other harmful chemicals. “When you’re developing raw land in Florida, that’s the catch-22,” says Realtor Mike Ryan with Highlight Realty Crop. He notes that since much of Florida was used for farming, it’s common for developers to excavate contaminated soil before building. “It takes some time,” he says. If the Toll Brothers’ proposal is approved, they will excavate around 353,000 cubic yards of soil. This process alone is expected to take at least nine months. According to Cypress Creek Property Owners Association Board Secretary Julie Nicholas, it’s believed that if the soil in the already existing community is undisturbed, it is not harmful.

Proximity to prestigious golf courses

Since the neighborhood is made up of gated communities, most residents have access to exclusive amenities like clubhouses and swimming pools. And while the Cypress Creek Club is no longer operational, golfers have several prestigious, private options within a 4-mile radius, including the Indian Spring Country Club, Pine Tree Golf Club and the Country Club of Florida. A little farther out is the Links at Boynton Beach, a city-owned course, complete with an 18-hole and 9-hole course, a putting green and a driving range. Pioneer Canal Park is a popular spot for non-golf-related activities, featuring amenities like basketball and tennis courts, a playground and a fishing pier off of Lake Osborne. The neighborhood is also around 5 miles from the famous Ocean Inlet Park, an 11-acre stretch of beaches off the Atlantic Ocean.
