The Parke at Cypress Creek

The Parke at Cypress Creek is a 55+ new-construction neighborhood of 152 single-family homes nestled within the larger Cypress Creek master-planned golf course community in Smithfield, Virginia. Developed by Eagle Construction of Virginia starting in 2020, The Parke is nearly built out — as of the latest data only one home remains for sale — making it one of Hampton Roads' newest and most exclusive active adult enclaves along the scenic Pagan River. Homes at The Parke are designed specifically for the 55+ lifestyle: low-maintenance, energy-efficient, and offered in three thoughtfully crafted floor plans. The one-story Easton (1,894 sq ft) delivers single-level living with a first-floor primary suite, 2-car courtyard garage, and open kitchen/family room flow. The two-story Acton (2,065 sq ft) places the primary suite and main living on the first floor with two guest bedrooms upstairs. The Stamford (2,391 sq ft) offers the largest footprint with options for a Florida Room or screened porch, added storage, and a chef's kitchen. All plans feature 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, 2-car garages, granite counters, hardwood flooring, and the Serenity primary bath package with enlarged shower. Traditional, Craftsman, Coastal, and Farmhouse exterior styles are available. Because The Parke sits inside the established Cypress Creek master plan — a 710-acre country club community with 190 acres of preserved green space and 578 single-family lots — residents get access to a full resort-style amenity package that would be impossible for a 152-home neighborhood to build on its own. The centerpiece is the 18-hole Cypress Creek Golf Club with a pro shop and The Tavern restaurant on site, plus an outdoor pool, tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, fitness center, clubhouse with multipurpose meeting space, outdoor patio, and walking/biking trails winding along the creek and golf course. Golf memberships are available separately. A full-time activities director plans events for golf, tennis, basketball, and other social clubs and special interest groups, so the social calendar stays active year-round. The monthly HOA covers lawn maintenance, grounds, common areas, water, sewer, trash, pest control, gate access, and management, freeing residents from exterior upkeep. Note that homeowners pay dues for both The Parke ($200/month) and the Cypress Creek overall association (approximately $85/month). The Parke sits less than two miles from historic downtown Smithfield — a quaint river-port town famous for its hams, history, and hospitality — with boutique shops, specialty stores, art galleries, restaurants, the Smithfield Little Theater, and the 1750 Isle of Wight Courthouse and Museum. Windsor Castle Park offers kayak launches, a fishing pier, gardens, and waterfront trails. The Pagan and James Rivers provide boating, fishing, and waterfront recreation. For bigger-city needs, Newport News is about 30 minutes away, Norfolk 40 minutes, and the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport under 25 miles. Healthcare is covered by Riverside Regional Medical Center and Sentara facilities nearby. It's a small-town, waterfront, golf-oriented lifestyle with easy reach to everything Hampton Roads has to offer.
