Living in Florida's Space Coast
Cypress Creek
Cypress Creek runs off Grant Road on acre lots, and it is the pool neighborhood of Grant-Valkaria: twelve of the nineteen properties have one, most screened, many of them salt water and heated. Houses were built from 1999 to 2019 in block and stucco. Wells and septic serve every address, and two separate associations govern the two phases.
Cypress Creek In Grant-Valkaria, Florida
Cypress Creek is entered from Grant Road, west of US 1 and the old center of Grant, by way of Cypress Creek Parkway. Inside, Cypress Creek Drive runs the length of the community and Gardenwood Circle loops off it, with Coverbrook Lane and Painted Bunting Place as short spurs. The plat book records it in two pieces, Phase 1 and Phase 2, and that division still matters because each phase has its own association.
Lots are almost uniformly one acre, from 1.0 to 1.34, and the community is laid out like a subdivision rather than a ranch road. Houses sit back behind irrigated front and rear lawns, most of them single story, most of them block and stucco under a shingle roof. Sizes run 2,107 to 3,319 square feet with about 2,556 typical, built between 1999 and 2019, so nothing here is old and nothing is brand new.
The pools are the signature. Twelve of nineteen properties have one, and the feature list on them is unusually rich for this price band: screen enclosures on most, salt water systems, heaters and waterfall features on roughly half the pools in the community. Add lanais running past a thousand square feet on the larger houses and you get a neighborhood built around outdoor living rather than around barns and paddocks.
Every home is on a private well and a septic tank. Four properties sit on water inside the community and some back to a conservation preserve, which is where the tree cover and the privacy come from. Solar arrays have gone on several roofs here, which is worth asking about early, because a leased system and an owned system are very different things when you go to close.
Typical value is $740,000, with a range from $538,200 to just over a million, at roughly $263 a square foot. Dues run about $400 to $450 a year depending on which phase the address falls in. Florida records show the Phase 1 association registered as Cypress Creek Homeowners Association of Brevard, Inc. and a separate Phase 2 association filed in 2004, so confirm which one you are joining before you assume the figure.

Cypress Creek Details
Two Associations, One Entrance
Phase 1 and Phase 2 are governed separately. Florida corporate records list Cypress Creek Homeowners Association of Brevard, Inc. for the original phase and a distinct Phase 2 association filed in 2004. Annual dues land between roughly $400 and $450 depending on which one you fall under, so verify the address, not the entrance sign.
Nearly Two In Three Homes Have A Pool
Twelve of nineteen properties have an in ground pool, most under a screen enclosure, with salt water systems, heaters and waterfall features common. That is a much higher rate than the surrounding acreage plats, and it tells you what this community was built for.
The Acre That Looks Like A Lawn
Most Grant-Valkaria acreage is pasture, palmetto or pine. Cypress Creek acres are irrigated front and rear, mown and landscaped, with tree cover kept for privacy rather than left wild. If you want an acre without becoming a land manager, this is the version of it.
Wells Doing Double Duty
Every home runs a private well and a septic tank, and on most properties that same well also feeds a full irrigation system on an acre of lawn. Ask about pump age, tank pressure and how the system holds up in a dry spring, because household demand and irrigation demand are competing for the same aquifer.
Preserve And Lake Frontage Inside The Plat
Four properties front water within the community and several back directly to conservation land. Those lots carry a premium and they are the reason the tree line stays where it is. Walk the rear boundary and find out whether the green behind the house is protected or simply undeveloped.
Solar Is Already Here
Several roofs in Cypress Creek carry solar arrays, and a few homes run fully solar powered. That can be a genuine monthly saving or an assumed obligation, depending on how the system was financed. Get the paperwork on the array before you get attached to the electric bill.

Current availability in Cypress Creek is below. Note which phase an address sits in and whether the property carries a pool, since those two things drive most of the price spread inside this community.
Cypress Creek Frequently Asked Questions
How large are the lots in Cypress Creek?
Almost every homesite is one acre, ranging from 1.0 to 1.34. The community was platted that way, so there is very little variation. That is a comfortable size for a pool, a workshop and a wide side yard without the maintenance load of a five acre parcel.
What are the association dues?
Roughly $400 to $450 a year, and which figure applies depends on whether the address falls in Phase 1 or Phase 2. Each phase has its own registered association. Request the governing documents and a current estoppel for the specific property rather than relying on a neighbor's number.
Is Cypress Creek on city water?
No. Every property runs a private well and a septic tank, which is standard for this part of Grant-Valkaria. Plan on a water quality test, a well pump and pressure tank inspection and a septic evaluation with the drain field located during your inspection period.
Do most homes have pools?
Yes. Twelve of the nineteen properties have an in ground pool, most of them screened, with salt water systems, heaters and waterfall features appearing on about half. That rate is well above the surrounding neighborhoods and it is a real part of what the community is worth.
Are there waterfront lots?
Four properties front water inside the community and several others back to conservation land with a preserve view. These are interior lakes rather than navigable water, so they are for the view and the wildlife. For boating, Christenson's Landing and the First Street ramp on the Indian River are a few minutes east.
Can I keep horses in Cypress Creek?
This is a deed restricted subdivision with irrigated lawns rather than an agricultural plat, and the associations govern what can be built and kept on a lot. If horses are the goal, look at the unrestricted acreage along Old Dixie Highway, Cypress Lake Drive or Brabrook Avenue instead, and confirm zoning with the Town.
Why is Cypress Creek priced above most of Grant-Valkaria?
Typical value here is $740,000, at about $263 a square foot. You are paying for a full acre, a well maintained deed restricted setting, a pool on most properties and houses built recently enough to have modern systems. It is the middle ground between a subdivision and a ranch, and that combination is scarce.
How long do homes take to sell here?
About forty six days typically, which is faster than most of the town. The combination of an acre, a pool and a house under twenty five years old is in steady demand, and the community is small enough that inventory rarely stacks up.
Cypress Creek Drive, Grant-Valkaria 32949
Cypress Creek sits inland in the Grant half of the town, reached from Grant Road by way of Cypress Creek Parkway. Coming from the north you turn off US 1 at First Street, jog to Brabrook Avenue and pick up Grant Road; coming from the west you take Babcock Street south and cut east. Once you turn in, the road is wide and quiet and it does not connect through to anywhere, which is the point.
Everyday errands run east to US 1 or north toward Malabar Road, where I-95 exit 173 sits about four miles inland. Melbourne is roughly half an hour north, Sebastian about twenty minutes south. Valkaria Airport, the county general aviation field, and The Habitat golf course are a short drive northwest on Valkaria Road. Grant-Valkaria is inland of the barrier island, so ocean beaches mean a causeway crossing.

Considering Cypress Creek?
An acre with a pool, a well and a septic system asks a different set of questions than a subdivision house: pump age, drain field location, screen enclosure condition, whether the solar array is owned, and which of the two associations the address belongs to.
