Cypresswood
Cypresswood golf, trails and nearby amusement parks
While most residents here spend outdoor time on the golf course, in the pool or at the gym at the Cypresswood Golf & Country Club or at The Country Club of Winter Haven, other public parks are available nearby. Locals can get some fresh air at the Michael V. Lewis Arboretum and Parrott Trail, where 42 acres of land host a mixture of native and exotic plants. The trail is about 1.5 miles and features picnic shelters and the personal plant collection of Talbot Lewis, who took decades to landscape the area. For fishing enthusiasts, there are plenty of lakes nearby, though some are private and prohibit public recreation. Cypresswood is also under 5 miles from Legoland, and under 30 minutes from Disney World. The neighborhood sits about 2 hours from both east and west coast beaches.Shopping at Winn-Dixie and dining at Cypresswood Pub
The main restaurant in the area is Cypresswood Golf & Country Club’s restaurant, the Cypresswood Pub, though residents travel outside of the neighborhood for more options. “Folks around here ride their golf carts everywhere,” Hevel says. “There’s a little strip mall nearby with a sandwich shop and a dollar store. People go there all the time.” Cypresswood is a short drive to Legacy Craft BBQ, which serves slow-smoked Southern BBQ, handmade sauces and fresh pies and cobblers. The Dundee Diner is another popular spot, known for its homestyle cooking. For groceries, Winn-Dixie is within 2 miles of the neighborhood, and a Walmart Supercenter is under 6 miles south.
Special Cypresswood events
The neighborhood has plenty of activities throughout the year to keep the community close. The Cypresswood Social group works to improve the events and opportunities in the area and is currently working to convert some tennis courts into pickleball courts. The Cypresswood Pub has live music on the weekends, yappy hours for the four-legged residents and corn hole. The country clubs hold special activities, as well, including tennis clinics and community service events, including blood drives.Ranch-style architecture in Cypresswood
Most homes here were constructed in the 1980s to early 2000s and bear ranch-style architecture. New construction is still popping up today, including custom builds on sprawling lots. Properties often sell between $200,000 and $600,000, with outliers on both ends of the range. Price not only depends on home size, but also location on the course. “I’d say about 70% of people just move here because they like the house they find, and 30% are here for the golf,” says Hevel. Houses often have two- or three-car garages and green lawns shaded by palm trees, and some have private pools in enclosures that protect the area from bugs and severe sunlight.Education opportunities near Cypresswood
Students in the Cypresswood neighborhood can begin their education at Elbert Elementary and Denison Middle, which both earn C grades on Niche. Winter Haven Senior High School earns a B-minus rating and is part of the Advanced International Certificate of Education program (A.I.C.E.) through the University of Cambridge. For a private pre-kindergarten through 12th grade option, Winter Haven Christian School is within a few miles of most residences for faith-based learning.
Transportation in Cypresswood
Public transportation does not reach the neighborhood, and Cypresswood residents usually get around by car or golf cart. Major routes are nearby, such as US Highway 27, which flows north toward Gainesville. Florida State Road 60, from Tampa to the east coast, is within 15 miles, which is a 20-minute drive from Cypresswood. For air travel, Orlando International is about 45 miles away. Other amenities, such as health care and houses of worship are typically found toward the west in Winter Haven, within about 6 miles.
