About Cresswind DeLand
Cresswind DeLand is Kolter Homes' newest 55+ active adult community in Central Florida, located at 1230 Club Cresswind Way in DeLand, FL 32724. Set along the eastern shore of Lake Winnemissett — a crystal-clear, spring-fed lake — the community is designed as a boutique active adult neighborhood capped at approximately 600 homes. That's deliberate: Kolter keeps Cresswind communities smaller than the 3,000+ home mega-developments you'll find elsewhere in Florida, creating a tighter social fabric where neighbors actually know each other.
What makes Cresswind DeLand unique in the Volusia County 55+ market is simple: it's the only place where you can still buy new construction. Latitude Margaritaville sold out its last new home in May 2025. Victoria Gardens is all resale. If you want to choose your own floor plan, select your finishes in the on-site Design Studio, and move into a home that no one else has ever lived in — Cresswind DeLand is your only option in this market.
Club Cresswind — the community's amenity center — opened in late 2025 and sits directly overlooking Lake Winnemissett. Residents have immediate access to resort-style amenities without waiting for a community to fill out. Downtown DeLand, consistently ranked among Florida's best small downtowns, is 10 minutes away. New Smyrna Beach is about 35 minutes. Orlando is 45 minutes via I-4.

Unlike some builders who charge for basics, Kolter includes genuine quality features at the base price:
Club Cresswind Amenities
Club Cresswind opened in late 2025 and sits directly on Lake Winnemissett. The amenity center is resident-only — no public access, no day passes. All amenities are included in the $465/month HOA fee.
EGYM SmartFIT Training
Cresswind's signature fitness technology. The EGYM system provides a full-body strength workout in 20 minutes, twice a week — adapting resistance electronically to each user's profile. More sophisticated than anything in a standard community gym.
Lake Winnemissett
The community's natural centerpiece. Crystal-clear, spring-fed water with a private dock and gazebo for residents. Catch-and-release fishing, kayaking, and sunset cruises. The lake view from Club Cresswind is the community's most distinctive feature.
Pickleball & Tennis
Dedicated courts for both sports with organized leagues and drop-in play managed by the Lifestyle Director. Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the 55+ demographic — Cresswind built for it from day one.
Set Yourself F.R.E.E.
Kolter's award-winning lifestyle program built around Fitness, Relationships, Education, and Entertainment. A full-time Lifestyle Director runs the calendar — clubs, classes, Kolter Concert Series events, and resident interest groups year-round.
Cresswind DeLand does not have an on-site golf course, which is one honest tradeoff compared to Victoria Gardens. However, residents are within a short drive of three championship courses:
HOA Fees, CDD, and True Monthly Cost
Understanding the full cost of ownership at Cresswind DeLand requires looking at three separate line items: the HOA fee, the CDD assessment on your tax bill, and property taxes. Builders don't always make this easy to piece together at the sales center. Here's the honest breakdown.
| Monthly HOA Fee | $465/month Confirmed by multiple sources (April 2026) |
| What HOA Covers | Club Cresswind amenity access, resort pool, fitness center, pickleball/tennis courts, walking trails, lifestyle programming, full-time Lifestyle Director, common area maintenance, gated entry |
| What HOA Does NOT Cover | Cable TV, internet, individual home pest control (unlike Victoria Gardens). You pay these separately. |
| CDD Fee | Yes — active CDD (Cresswind DeLand Community Development District). Assessed annually on your property tax bill. Amount varies by lot — request the current CDD assessment for any specific homesite before signing. |
| Property Tax (est.) | Volusia County millage rate applies. As a new construction community, assessed values are still being established. Budget ~$300–$450/month depending on purchase price and homestead exemption. |
| Homeowner's Insurance | ~$200–$350/month typical range in Volusia County for new construction. New homes may qualify for lower rates vs older resale communities. |
| Flood Zone | Zone X (most of community) — inland location, minimal flood risk. Flood insurance not required for most lots. Verify per homesite with FEMA flood map. |
| Estimated True Monthly Total | ~$3,700–$4,200/month (assumes $500K home, 20% down, 6.8% rate, HOA, taxes, insurance). Does not include CDD — add $75–$175/month depending on lot. |
| Lot Premiums | Lake view, preserve view, and corner lots carry additional premiums above base price. Not disclosed until you select a homesite — ask specifically. |

Tour Cresswind DeLand With Independent Representation
Robert Wrieden
I'm not affiliated with Kolter Homes or any builder. I represent buyers — and at Cresswind DeLand, that representation costs you nothing because the builder pays the commission.
Before your first visit to the sales center, call me. I'll come with you, handle the registration, ask the questions that rarely get answered in a standard tour (actual CDD amounts, lot premium specifics, current incentives, contract contingency language), and give you an honest read on whether Cresswind is the right fit compared to Victoria Gardens, Latitude Margaritaville, or other communities you're considering.
I cover all of Volusia County and have worked with buyers across DeLand's 55+ communities. No pressure — just honest, professional guidance on what is likely the largest purchase of your retirement.
