About Cypress Landing Neighborhood
Cypress Landing stands out in the north Dr. Phillips market as one of the area's most sought-after non-gated communities, developed across multiple phases between 1994 and 2000 by Reiche Silliman — a respected Central Florida builder known for quality construction and thoughtful community design. The neighborhood's name reflects its wooded, nature-inspired character: mature cypress and oak trees line the interior streets, and Lake Floyd and several ponds provide scenic backdrops that set the community apart from more densely developed alternatives in the zip code.
Homes in Cypress Landing reflect the architectural diversity of its development era, spanning Spanish/Mediterranean, Traditional, Contemporary, and Florida-style designs. Home sizes range from approximately 2,187 to 4,284 square feet, with the community featuring multiple sub-phases including Cypress Landing Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and the more upscale Estates of Cypress Landing — which includes some of the largest and most refined homes in the neighborhood. All homes in the community exceed 2,000 square feet, positioning Cypress Landing firmly in the move-up market.
The community's Grand Oaks Shopping Plaza — directly across Conroy Windermere Road — provides immediate access to grocery stores, restaurants, and daily services without ever needing to venture onto major arterial roads. Combined with South Kirkman Road to the east and South Apopka Vineland Road to the west, Cypress Landing residents enjoy exceptional connectivity to both the University area corridor and the Dr. Phillips / Sand Lake Road dining district just minutes to the south.
Cypress Landing's HOA maintains the community's on-site amenities — tennis courts, basketball courts, and a playground — and has historically operated with dues in the range of $500–$600 annually, one of the more affordable HOA structures in the Dr. Phillips area. There are no CDD fees, making total annual carrying costs highly competitive for the quality and location of homes provided.

Cypress Landing HOA & CDD Information
Cypress Landing is governed by a mandatory Homeowners Association that maintains the community's shared amenities — tennis courts, basketball courts, and playground — and ensures community standards are upheld across the multiple phases of the development. Historically, Cypress Landing's HOA dues have been among the more affordable in the Dr. Phillips area, reflecting a focused scope of services rather than resort-style overhead.
Cypress Landing does not have a Community Development District (CDD) fee, which is a significant long-term financial advantage. In communities with CDDs, homeowners often pay $1,500–$4,000+ per year in addition to regular HOA dues. Cypress Landing buyers benefit from no such assessment, keeping annual housing costs competitive relative to the quality and location the community offers.
