About Cypress Pointe Neighborhood
Cypress Pointe is located just off Hunter's Creek Boulevard west of John Young Parkway, inside ZIP code 32837. The neighborhood was built between 1990 and 1993 by Pulte Homes and Olympia Homes, making it one of the earliest-phase villages in Hunter's Creek's build-out. The 94 homes are Palm Beach-style — low-slung single-story and two-story designs, tile roofs, stucco exteriors, courtyard-influenced layouts — and they range from roughly 2,200 to just over 3,000 square feet on standard Florida lots.
The village is built around a central pond and organized along just two streets — Amaca Circle and Talapo Lane — which gives it one of the most intimate, quiet footprints inside Hunter's Creek. Several homes back directly onto the pond or onto the conservation/wetland buffer to the north, delivering nature-view backdrops that newer, denser developments struggle to match. A walking and biking path runs from Cypress Pointe southeast through the community toward Town Center Boulevard, the community's shopping core, and Hunter's Creek Elementary School — giving residents a non-car route for day-to-day errands and school drop-off.
Home design reflects early-1990s Hunter's Creek character: three- to five-bedroom plans, two- and three-car garages, tile floors in wet areas, screened lanais, and a notable concentration of private pools. Because the village is small and non-gated but buffered by conservation land and bordering mostly low-density apartments and other villages, Cypress Pointe has a quieter-than-average feel for a non-gated Hunter's Creek neighborhood.

Cypress Pointe Amenities & Lifestyle
Cypress Pointe's lifestyle is built around its scale and setting: 94 homes, two streets, a central pond, and a conservation buffer. The village feels quieter than its non-gated status would suggest because the conservation edge to the north and the limited internal street network mean through-traffic is effectively zero. Residents who value a tight-knit, low-density pocket inside a larger master-planned community — without paying a gated-premium — gravitate here.
Day to day, life in Cypress Pointe borrows Hunter's Creek's full amenity set: seven community parks, the Hunter's Creek Golf Club, Shingle Creek Trail access, and the community's internal shopping ecosystem of Hunter's Creek Promenade, Hunter's Creek Plaza, and The Village at Hunter's Creek along John Young Parkway.
🏊 Neighborhood Amenities
Cypress Pointe itself is a compact, non-gated village centered on a natural pond with no private clubhouse or community pool. The village's key internal amenity is its central pond and the dedicated walking/biking path that runs from the neighborhood to Town Center Boulevard — a rare non-car connection to the community's shopping core and schools. Many homes here have private pools installed by individual owners, and residents use nearby Hunter's Creek community parks as their shared recreation space.
🛍️ Shopping & Services
Cypress Pointe residents have a short drive (or the walking/biking path) to Hunter's Creek's internal retail trio — Hunter's Creek Promenade, Hunter's Creek Plaza, and Hunters Creek Town Center.

How Cypress Pointe Compares
Cypress Pointe is one of the smallest and earliest single-family villages in Hunter's Creek — a meaningfully different product from the newer, larger villages that make up the majority of the community. Buyers shopping Cypress Pointe typically compare it to neighboring Calabay Cove and Timucua, both of which share the west-side geography but differ in scale, price, and construction vintage.
| Feature | Cypress Pointe | Calabay Cove | Timucua |
|---|---|---|---|
| Home Type | Single-family, Palm Beach-style | Single-family | Single-family |
| Year Built | 1990–1993 | Mid 1990s | Mid–late 1990s |
| Total Homes | ~94 (smaller, 2 streets) | Larger village | Larger village |
| Typical Size | 2,200–3,000+ sq ft | Comparable to smaller | Varies |
| Central Pond | Yes | Near Calabay Park | Community ponds nearby |
| Conservation Buffer | Yes (direct, north) | Partial | Shingle Creek Trail adjacent |
| CDD Fee | No | No | No |
| Gated | No | No | No |
💡 Value Proposition: Cypress Pointe's combination of Palm Beach-style architecture, early-phase construction, a central pond, and a direct conservation buffer to the north creates a scale and setting that newer, denser Hunter's Creek villages simply can't replicate — and it does this without a gated-community premium or CDD fees.
