Cypress Lakes: $425/Year HOA, 992 Homes, and Golf Included — Not a Typo
A gated 55+ community 7 miles from downtown West Palm Beach where the 18-hole course is free to owners and the HOA is billed annually, not monthly.
Cypress Lakes is a gated, age-restricted 55+ community on 320 acres in unincorporated West Palm Beach, about 7 miles from downtown. It consists of 992 single-story CBS (concrete block and stucco) homes built between 1979 and 1984, ranging roughly 800 to 1,800 square feet. The 18-hole executive golf course is free to owners, and HOA fees have been reported at approximately $425 per year — annually, not monthly — per the HOA's published assessment. Amenities include a clubhouse, pool and jacuzzi, fitness center, sauna, billiards room, library, card room, tennis courts, shuffleboard, mini golf, and a hobby workshop, with pickleball courts added more recently. The community is gated with 24/7 manned security.
Cypress Lakes comes up with 55+ buyers who want genuine golf-course living at an unusually low carrying cost, close to downtown West Palm Beach — the trade-off is smaller, older homes for a genuinely low HOA and a deep amenity package.
What does it cost to buy in Cypress Lakes right now?
HOA fees have been reported at approximately $425 per year — genuinely low for a golf-course 55+ community, because homes are smaller and older, and owners handle their own roofs, exterior paint, and individual landscaping. Homes range roughly 800 to 1,800 square feet.
MLS-verified: 47 closed sales in the trailing 12 months, ranging $190,000-$470,000. Confirm current active inventory and current HOA figure through MLS and the HOA directly, since this reflects closed transactions as of September 2026, not live listings.
Why is the HOA so low here?
Scale combined with realistic scope: 992 homes share the cost, and the community isn't maintaining a sprawling luxury clubhouse or tournament-grade golf. What's deliberately not included is what keeps the number low — smaller homes (800-1,800 sq ft), older construction (1979-1984), and owner responsibility for individual roofs, exterior paint, and landscaping. This is not maintenance-free living, but for buyers who want included golf access at that price, it's a genuine value case worth understanding before comparing it to other 55+ communities charging monthly fees in the hundreds or thousands.
What amenities does Cypress Lakes offer?
An 18-hole executive golf course (free to owners), a clubhouse, swimming pool and jacuzzi, fitness center, sauna, billiards room, ping pong, library, card room, tennis courts, shuffleboard, a mini golf course, a hobby workshop, and pickleball courts. The community sits on 320 acres and is gated with 24/7 manned security. Pets under 20 lbs are permitted.
Selling in Broward or Miami-Dade before your move here?
Many buyers here have a current home to sell first — we handle both ends of that move as one transaction.
What to verify before buying in Cypress Lakes
Confirm current comparable sales through MLS. Confirm the current HOA assessment directly with the association, since this figure is unusually low and worth verifying exactly what it does and doesn't cover. If you walk in expecting a luxury country club, you'll be disappointed — this works if you understand exactly what you're buying.
