Florida is a haven for retirees and winter visitors from northern climes and, as a result, adult-only communities are very popular. Compass Pointe, in West Melbourne, Florida, is one such gated, age-restricted neighborhood. Retired, however, does not mean inactive. Compass Pointe proves that, providing a variety of social activities centered around a clubhouse and screened-in pool.
Compass Pointe is in zip code 32904. As a recent development, the residences have a new-home, contemporary look. Streets in the area are safe for walking and biking. Several small lakes give visual interest and the opportunity to bird-watch. Egrets, sandhill cranes and ducks frequent the neighborhood.
Compass Pointe, nestled between two older mobile home parks, off Fell Road and Hollywood Boulevard, is conveniently located within a mile of Melbourne Square Mall, a bookstore, and restaurants. Hollywood Boulevard, to the west of the neighborhood, also provides easy access to the Melbourne Golf Course, Florida Institute of Technology and the Melbourne International Airport.
