Point Cypress Homes for Sale

About Point Cypress Neighborhood

Point Cypress is a smaller gated townhome enclave tucked along South Apopka Vineland Road in Dr. Phillips, comprising approximately 70 townhome residences built between 2007 and 2012 by Pulte Homes. The community is positioned on Point Cypress Drive, just south of West Sand Lake Road, placing it squarely in one of the most convenient pockets of the entire Dr. Phillips corridor. Homes feature the Spanish/Mediterranean architectural styling typical of the era, with stucco exteriors, tile roofs, and two-car garages.

What sets Point Cypress apart in the Dr. Phillips market is its combination of gated security, a community pool, and an accessible price point relative to the single-family estates that dominate the surrounding area. Townhomes range from approximately 2,000 to 2,950 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2-car garages, and many feature loft spaces, family rooms, and inside utility rooms. Select homes within the community offer water views overlooking the community's decorative ponds. The location puts residents within a short walk of Bay Meadows Elementary School, directly to the south, and just north of the Big Sand Lake shoreline that marks the boundary of the Butler Chain of Lakes system.

Point Cypress is distinctly positioned between two of Dr. Phillips' most prestigious and well-recognized communities — the guard-gated luxury estate community of Cypress Point directly to the west, and the sprawling Phillips Landing community to the south. This placement makes Point Cypress an ideal entry into the area for buyers who want the Dr. Phillips zip code, gated access, and the Restaurant Row lifestyle without the price tag of a full single-family estate.

Point Cypress Location & Connections

Point Cypress sits along South Apopka Vineland Road in Dr. Phillips, positioned just under a mile south of West Sand Lake Road — the famous Restaurant Row corridor. The community's Point Cypress Drive address places it between Big Sand Lake (part of the Sand Lake Chain of Lakes) to the east and Lake Sheen (part of the Butler Chain of Lakes) to the west, giving the neighborhood a natural lake-flanked setting that is rare for a townhome community in this price range.

Access to the broader Orlando metro is excellent. Sand Lake Road delivers direct access east to Interstate 4 (less than 2 miles), and south via Apopka Vineland Road connects quickly to the Florida Turnpike. Walt Disney World's main entrance is approximately 5 miles south, making this one of the closer residential addresses to the Disney property within Dr. Phillips.

Point Cypress Amenities & Lifestyle

Life at Point Cypress is defined by its outstanding location inside the Dr. Phillips zip code at a price point that opens the door for buyers who want gated security, a community pool, and the full Dr. Phillips lifestyle experience. Residents step outside their community gates and immediately have access to the sand lake shoreline, Bay Meadows Elementary School, and the Restaurant Row corridor — the combination rarely available in townhome-format communities anywhere in the Orlando metro.

The surrounding area delivers everything that makes Dr. Phillips one of Orlando's most sought-after addresses: 150+ restaurants within minutes, top-ranked Orange County public schools, proximity to all three major theme parks, and the natural beauty of the Butler Chain of Lakes immediately to the west. For buyers looking for low-maintenance living without sacrificing location or lifestyle, Point Cypress is a standout option in the market.

How Point Cypress Compares

Point Cypress occupies a unique and underserved niche in the Dr. Phillips market: a gated, amenity-supported townhome community in the 32836 zip code at a price point well below the area's single-family estate norm. For buyers who want Dr. Phillips schools, proximity to Restaurant Row, and a true gated community experience, Point Cypress delivers all of it in a lower-maintenance townhome format.

The community sits between two of the area's most recognized luxury estate communities — Cypress Point (guard-gated lakefront estates) and Reserve At Cypress Point (executive homes on quarter-to-half-acre lots) — making Point Cypress the accessible entry point into what is genuinely one of Dr. Phillips' most desirable pockets.

Point Cypress HOA & CDD Information

Point Cypress is governed by a mandatory Homeowners Association that manages the gated community entrance, community pool, common area landscaping, pond maintenance, and community infrastructure. As a townhome community, the HOA plays an especially important role in maintaining the uniform appearance and shared amenities that define the neighborhood's character.

There is no Community Development District (CDD) fee associated with Point Cypress — a meaningful advantage compared to some newer Dr. Phillips developments where CDD assessments can add thousands of dollars annually to the cost of ownership. The absence of a CDD makes Point Cypress particularly attractive for buyers doing total cost-of-ownership comparisons in the 32836 zip code.
