If you’ve driven along Military Trail lately, it’s hard to miss what’s happening at the former Cypress Creek Golf Course. What was once 122.6 acres of fairways and greens now looks like one enormous construction zone - and the transformation is well underway. The property is being prepared for a new community with 152 single-family homes, along with recreation areas and extensive new roads, drainage, lakes and underground utilities. A future county civic building and dog park are also planned near the property.
But there’s another part of this story worth watching. Previous environmental testing found arsenic and legacy pesticides in the soil, with contamination also detected in groundwater. Environmental oversight and soil-management requirements remain in place as excavation continues. For nearby Boynton residents, this is more than another construction project. A huge piece of familiar West Boynton is being completely remade and the Boynton Weekly will be watching closely as the neighborhood takes shape.

Boynton Condo Sellers Are Starting To Feel The Pressure
Boynton Beach’s condo market is starting to look very different - and buyers may finally have the upper hand. Depending on the listing source, roughly 570–600 condos are currently for sale, and more than half have already had their asking prices cut. The typical reduction is around 7%, which tells you sellers are becoming more flexible. The bigger issue may be the monthly costs. Median condo association fees are now around $737, and about one in four listings carries fees of $1,000 or more per month.
Compare that with 2021, when Boynton had about 358 active condo listings and a median asking price near $187,000. Prices today are higher, around $220,000–$225,000, but inventory has jumped and buyers have more choices. Add in higher insurance, association fees and mortgage rates, and the market is clearly cooling. Condos aren’t collapsing - but sellers may need to get increasingly realistic if they want to move them.

🤔 Did You Know?
Boynton Beach once had its own Olympic moment! On July 5, 1996, the Olympic flame passed right through Boynton Beach on its journey to the Summer Games in Atlanta. Residents lined the route to watch the famous torch relay come through town — giving Boynton a small but memorable place in Olympic history.
Boy, the reporters missed the opportunity to tell us who carried the torch. That was an important part of the story.
