A popular coastal community since the 1950s
Cresthaven, a primarily residential neighborhood in northeastern Pompano Beach, got its start in the 1950s. Its original residents were retirees who inhabited the area during the winter in petite vacation homes, which would remain shuttered during the summers. But within a few decades, residents began staying in Florida year-round. Neighborhoods like Cresthaven have been reinventing themselves ever since. “The neighborhood is in transition,” says Real Estate Broker Eli Williams of Royal International Realty, who’s sold in greater Miami for a decade. “With property values up and the neighborhood being so close to the beach, many homeowners are rehabbing and selling or buying first and then rehabbing. In fact, homes that need work are selling the fastest.” Today, nearly 9,000 people occupy this collection of tropical homes just 1 mile west of the Atlantic Ocean.
The nearby Atlantic Ocean is one of many reasons residents love the Cresthaven neighborhood.

From senior mobile homes to five-bedroom ramblers
Most Cresthaven homes are arranged on a dense, gridded network of palm-peppered, sidewalk-free streets. Two-bedroom bungalows were the most common houses in Cresthaven’s early days. However, many have been expanded into three- and four-bedroom ranch-style homes to accommodate whole families. “These houses have good bones,” Williams says. “I’ve seen entire homes gutted and redone with crown molding and wood floors — unheard of until recently.” Cresthaven is also home to Haven House Condominiums, occupying six apartment-style buildings along Sample Road to the north. Meanwhile, Havenwood offers senior living in a cluster of well-maintained mobile homes to the west. These start at around $50,000 for two-bedroom, 1,100-square-foot units. Condos tend to cost in the $100,000s and $200,000s. The average home value is about $380,000, for which homebuyers might find a two-bedroom, recently renovated rambler. Prices peak at around $600,000 for five-bedroom ranch-style homes nearing 2,000 square feet.

Minutes from the beach and other hotspots
The quickest way to the beach from Cresthaven is to drive across the 14th Street drawbridge to North Ocean Park. This 2-acre public space is open daily and features distant views of the historic Hillsboro Inlet Lighthouse. With such proximity to the sand, Cresthaven itself doesn’t need many outdoor areas to help residents unwind and relax. However, Cresthaven Park covers over an acre at the neighborhood’s heart, within walking distance of many locals. Young visitors can run loose on the playground while athletes take to the basketball and sand volleyball courts. Immediately south of the neighborhood, the Pompano Beach Municipal Golf Course features 18 public holes, a driving range and an enclosed dog park. Many residents can quickly walk to the neighborhood’s AMC Theatres to catch the latest flick.
