About Cypress Point Neighborhood
Cypress Point is a prestigious guard-gated community tucked along Point Cypress Drive in the southwestern reaches of Dr. Phillips, just south of Sand Lake Road off S. Apopka Vineland Road. The neighborhood sits directly on the shores of Lake Tibet (1,198 acres) and Lake Sheen (565 acres), both part of the renowned Butler Chain of Lakes, giving residents some of the most coveted waterfront addresses in all of Southwest Orlando.
The majority of homes in Cypress Point were built between 1990 and 2000 by Ray Coudriet Homes, with additional construction extending through 2006. The community showcases an impressive collection of Custom, Spanish/Mediterranean, and Traditional architectural style homes featuring 4 to 7 bedrooms, 2 to 4 car garages, and tile roofs. Home sizes range from approximately 4,300 to 9,300 square feet of living space, with most lots averaging a half to one full acre — providing exceptional privacy and room for pools, outdoor entertaining, and lakeside living.
Community amenities go well beyond the gated entry. Cypress Point features a community dock and boat ramp providing direct access to the Butler Chain, a community beach and gazebo, tennis courts, a basketball court, a clubhouse, and beautifully lighted ponds throughout the neighborhood. The combination of large lots, mature landscaping, canopy shade trees, and premium lake access makes this one of the defining luxury addresses in the Dr. Phillips corridor.
The Orange County Sportsmen's Association on Lake Sheen is a notable neighbor, and Bay Meadows Elementary School sits just half a mile from the community entrance — making Cypress Point particularly attractive to families seeking both luxury living and top-rated schools in close proximity.

How Cypress Point Compares
Cypress Point occupies a rare niche in the Dr. Phillips market: guard-gated luxury with direct Butler Chain of Lakes access, full-acre lots, and custom homes exceeding 4,000 square feet — all without a CDD fee. Comparable gated communities in the area either lack direct lakefront access, carry significant CDD assessments, or offer smaller lot sizes.
For buyers seeking the combination of maximum privacy, Butler Chain boating access, and proximity to Restaurant Row and the theme park corridor, Cypress Point represents one of the strongest value propositions in Southwest Orlando's luxury segment.

|---|---|---|---|

| Home Size | 4,300–9,300 sq ft | 3,900–6,900 sq ft | 2,100–6,400 sq ft |

| Butler Chain Access | Yes — Community Dock & Boat Ramp | No | Community Boat Ramp |
| Guard-Gated | Yes — 24-Hour Guard | Yes — Gated | Yes — Gated |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
