🧱 What Is The Glen?

The Glen is part of the Cypress Bay West master-planned community in Southeast Palm Bay, FL. Unlike Serenoa—the gated Freedom Series section—The Glen features DR Horton’s Traditional Series homes, known for their value-focused pricing and included features.

This neighborhood has been selling for some time, but a new construction phase is now underway, with roughly 100 more homes in progress.

📐 Floorplans, Smart Features, and HOA Info

Buyers can choose from DR Horton’s most popular layouts, including open designs like the Cali, Aria, and Hayden. Each home comes equipped with the Safe Haven Smart Home Package—which includes a Ring video doorbell, smart thermostat, touchscreen control hub, and app-based security system.

💰 The HOA fee is approximately $648/year, and the CDD fee is about $1,500/year, making The Glen one of the most affordable new construction options in the area.

🏊 What Amenities Do Residents Get?

The Glen doesn’t have its own amenities—but residents enjoy access to all the shared resort-style amenities coming to Cypress Bay West, including:

• A resort-style pool

• Splash pad

• Pickleball courts

• Clubhouse

• Event lawn

• Walking trails and open space

🗺️ What’s Nearby?

Located just south of Bayside Lakes, The Glen is close to Publix, schools, and major roads like the St. Johns Heritage Parkway. Even more exciting? New communities like Sunterra Lakes and Ashton Park are in development nearby—bringing future growth and value to the area.

🎁 Are There Any Incentives?

Yes! In our on-site interview, DR Horton new home specialist Matt Swist shares what buyers can expect in terms of closing cost assistance, interest rate incentives, and other builder promotions.

DR Horton homes can be purchased either as move-in ready or build-to-order, depending on availability—so timing is everything.

🤝 Why You Still Need a Buyer’s Agent

Even if you're buying directly from the builder, having your own real estate agent matters. As local new construction experts, we work alongside DR Horton to make sure you get the right advice, support, and representation through the entire process. Check out our blog.
