Quiet suburban living in Willoughby

There isn't a whole lot going on around Willoughby, and folks like it that way. The neighborhood's quiet, sidewalk-lined streets are home to several subdivisions, most gated. Manmade lakes and ponds dapple its map, as do towering palm, oak and pine trees. “It’s your average suburb,” says Joel Sanchez, a local Realtor with Fidelity Real Estate Advisors. “It’s quiet, too. You see a lot of families moving there.” The community is surrounded by main thoroughfares, Lantana Road, Military Trail and Hypoluxo Road, putting everyday conveniences within a moment’s drive. "It's convenient for commuting, too," says David Sanders, a local Realtor with Compass Florida Realty LLC. "It's 5 minutes from Interstate 95 and 10 minutes from Florida's Turnpike." Just south of Greenacres, Willoughby offers quiet and central suburban living.

First, there was Blue Pine Estates

The first wave of Willoughby’s development began around 1980 with the construction of Blue Pine Estates’ Minimal Traditional ranch-style homes. These properties and other 1980s-built houses are on the neighborhood’s east side in ungated communities. They have two to four bedrooms and single-car garages. Development of Willoughby’s west side didn’t start until 2000 when the gated Willoughby Farms subdivision ushered in larger homes and townhouses on smaller lots. These newer single and multifamily properties display the earthy elegance of Spanish eclectic architecture. Other gated communities followed suit, including Rivermill, Cocoplum and Lantern Key. Each Willoughby community is managed by an HOA or POA. Prices for condos and townhouses range from $257,000 to the low $400,000s, while single-family properties list between $380,000 and $671,000.

Buttonwood Park

Buttonwood Park is a 17-acre green space on Willoughby’s north side. “That park is always busy,” Sanchez says. “People go there to play soccer, basketball and all that jazz.” Button Park is the area’s main recreation hub since it has three full basketball courts, three athletic fields and two sand volleyball courts. It also has a playground where local kids slide, swing and play. Adventure Mini Golf is another popular spot for family-friendly fun. Its two professional mini golf courses wind around tropical plants and glittering waterfalls.

South Military Trail

Running errands, grabbing take-out or snagging a morning coffee doesn’t take residents more than a few minutes from home. South Military Trail, located along Willoughby’s east side, connects folks to Walmart, Publix and other convenient businesses. Rorabeck's Plants & Produce is also off South Military Trail. This local, family-owned business has been in the community for over 30 years. Their popular produce market, plant nursery and café are open seven days a week.
