HUNTINGTON POINTE COMMUNITY in DELRAY BEACH
Huntington Pointe Residents
Huntington Pointe is a 55 and over community, which has a beautiful, renovated clubhouse, a very nice cafe, a modern gym, a dance studio, 5 pools [1 indoor] , tennis and pickleball courts, and a gorgeous 600 seat theater. But more importantly, wonderful people live @ HP, which has a sense of togetherness and a spirit one cannot simply define with words.
HPresidents is not the official HP website, where you should go if you need specific HP information such as the following. If you want to fill out a work order, get BOD meeting dates and times, request elevator pads, or buy tickets for a show, please go to the official HP website.
Having said that, we do provide an array of basic information for our residents which you will find helpful. For example, we have info on HP quarterly condo payments, how to pay them monthly, protecting your villa or garden apartment with flood insurance, and we also have a movie and show schedule
The goal of this site is to capture the spirit and fun of living in this unique and ultra friendly community, plus the surrounding area. We have a large array of photos of our residents dancing, singing, going to parties, and shows, while having tons of fun. We hope we are successful in capturing that spirit of enjoyment, fun, and togetherness. Most of all, we hope you enjoy it.

LAKE IDA HEDGE ISSUE
For those of you who aren’t familiar with this issue, it’s a problem we’ve had for the past 6-7 years. HPA board members knew this is a problem we need to resolve by 2026. But now, this problem has surfaced again in 2025. There are several options for resolving the issue, but one thing, we know for sure, it will cost a small fortune. Current estimates range from about $650,000 to around $ One Million.
Do you think the huge amount of money 9 HPA board members voted to spend on Har Tru Tennis Courts, so a small handful of HP residents can play in a Har Tru tennis league, could have instead been used for this project.
Here is a summary of the issue downloaded from the official HP website.
For those residents who are not familiar with this hedge, it runs 2500 linear feet behind some Phase III Villas along Lake IDA, the hedge is
original from the builder. It is approximately 18 feet tall and has been maintained by Maximum Landscaping, which has kept it at the same height since they took over the landscaping at Huntington Pointe. The hedge has White Fly Disease and has been sprayed twice a year to keep the disease from spreading. The hedge is consistently thinning out and has reached its life expectancy. According to our reserve study it is scheduled to be replaced in 2026 at an estimated cost of $650,000. We have had several complaints from a couple of residents whose villas are backed up to this hedge. Last month we met with some of those residents and explained that this will be addressed in 2026 as it is a very expensive project. We also explained that we would start looking into different options now which we have. One of the Phase III residents who we had spoken with called the county to file a complaint about the hedge. We all know how
complaints turn out for Huntington Pointe, just look at your maintenance building. The county found that their complaint was not
an issue, however, they identified a problem with the hedge being too high at approximately 18 feet. They issued us a violation .
This violation has now been turned over to the county Zoning Landscaping Department. The hedge must be cut down to 10 feet. We
had until today, May 30th to address the violation or receive a $100 a day fine. We contacted the county for an extension. They asked, and we have sent them all the information we have about the hedge. We sent them our reserve study and the quotes that we have obtained so far. We have made several follow up calls to the county and we’re told that they would be back today to inspect the hedge.
We will keep you updated on this issue .
PHASE ONE ROOF REPLACEMENT UPDATE
It is currently Monday May 19, 2025 and we have important news for Phase One unit owners. We all agreed that the time for replacing our villa roofs was rapidly approaching. However, we had two areas of contention, where our board members did not agree. Here’s a summary of those two disagreements and the eventual outcomes.
1. We had some board members who wanted to proceed with this multi-million-dollar roof project immediately, while other board members argued it was very important to inspect our roofs before beginning a multi-million dollar project.
Thankfully, this area of contention was resolved relatively quickly. In the end, we had universal agreement from all board members that it was critically important to inspect our roofs before beginning such a massive and expensive project.
2. The next divide was a big one. We had several board members who insisted from day one, we needed to do all 114 villa roofs in one project. But we had one board member, that would be me, who argued that was not a decision which should be made by Phase One board members.
I argued, we need to see the results of professional roof inspections before making that decision. We all knew the Monacos are in bad shape, but what about the other two models? What if the Capris and Majorcas had another 4-5 years of life remaining.? Why should we start repairs on those models before they are needed?
Thankfully, question number 2 above was answered by the roofing professionals, not the phase one board members. There wasn’t a perfect agreement between them, but both roofing company inspections were close enough in their assessment. Now we know it would be wise to replace all 114 villa roofs in one project.
I personally feel better because now I can state we are following the recommendations and advice of roof replacement experts, as opposed to Phase One Board members.
WEDENESDAY APRIL 30TH: LAST DELRAY MARKETPLACE SHOW of the SEASON
There was a very good 8-piece band on the last night of the season. The weather was perfect and the crowd was on the dance floor for 2 hours straight. Here are some HP residents enjoying the show.
SUNDAY APRIL 6TH @ 6:30 PM – BETTY PADGETT SHOW
HUNTINGTON POINTE CLUBHOUSE PARKING LOT
Betty Padgett, and the Bobby Nathan Band, who put on a great show in our ballroom earlier this year, playing Motown and Disco hits, did it again on Sunday evening in the clubhouse parking lot. The weather was perfect, the crowd was large, and they were on the dance floor all evening, LOL, while having tons of fun.
Here are several photos from the party. If you want to see ALL the photos, please go to the menu at the top of the page and select “BETTY PADGETT SHOWS“.
DELRAY MARKETPLACE – 6 PM WEDNESDAY MARCH 19, 2025
REVIBE – DANCE PARTY MUSIC
The crowd was large, the weathers was perfect, the atmosphere was terrific, but Revibe, despite advertising themselves as “Dance Party Music”, didn’t play a single dance song. However, despite the lack of disco music, my brother did his thing on the dance floor. I’m still working on a page of photos showing my brother on the dance floor. Here’s a small sample of him in action @ Delray Marketplace.
SIMPLY TINA SHOW SATURDAY NIGHT @ the HP THEATER
Four years ago, I saw a fabulous “Simply Tina” show at the Old School Amphitheater located in downtown Delray Beach. But I’m having a hard time, trying to find words which adequately describe last night’s incredible performance in our theater. I’m going to try and describe what I saw and experienced, but I don’t know if my words can properly document the quality and excitement of this amazing show.
Let’s start with the band, which was incredibly talented and professional. They started the show with an exciting, pulsating, rhythmic beat, and kept it going all night long. On almost every song, I wanted to get out of my chair and dance, but our stupid new rules prevented me from doing such.
I was very impressed with every member of the band, and I particularly enjoyed the multiple solos from both the sax player and the drummer.
As for Tina, I am once again at a loss for words. She looks and sounds so much like the real Tina Turner, that it was eerie. The crowd was focused on her throughout the show and with good reason.
When I first moved to HP many years ago, I saw what I think is the best show ever. It was an amazing performance by a fantastic Motown group. But last night’s Simply Tina show was every bit as good, and possibly even better than that Motown show a long time ago.
Because of another new rule, I am no longer allowed to take close up photos of the band performing on stage. However, I did manage to take a couple of long-distance photos. Hopefully, they will at least give you a feel for the excitement in the air last night.
DELRAY MARKETPLACE – 6 PM WEDNESDAY MARCH 12, 2025
Tailored Soul – Disco Music of the 70’s
Tailored Soul was fabulous, as they played one disco song after another on a beautiful, picture perfect evening. There was a huge crowd which was literally on the dance floor 2 hours straight, having tons of fun. I’m still working on the new page with all of the photos, which should be ready later today. But for now, here are a few photos which will hopefully get your attention.
We have an array of photos showing our HP friends and neighbors on the dance floor, having a fabulous time. To see all the photos, select “DELRAY MARKETPLACE” on the menu at the top of the page. Here are 3 sample photos to get your attention.
JANUARY NIGHT OUT CLUB EVENT – MUSIC by Warren Hill
Because of chilly weather, the event was moved indoors to the Clubhouse Ballroom. It was tons of fun, there was lots of food from Dalla, and dancing all night long by the large crowd in attendance. We have numerous photos which hopefully capture the fun and spirit of the evening. To see the phots, select WARREN HILL SHOW JAN 2025 on the menu at the top of the page.
JAYNE CURRY SHOW at our HP THEATER
About two months ago, my friend advised she just purchased tickets for the Jayne Curry show and asked if I bought my tickets yet. I said Jayne Who? Why would I want to spend money to see someone I never heard of? She in turn advised that she saw her last year and she put on a great show. I thought about it and said to myself, OK Tishkevich, give up the Sunday night football game and buy tickets to see Jayne Curry. I went to the show hoping for a pleasant, enjoyable evening of songs. Wow! Was I in for a major surprise? I was literally stunned by her performance.
Jayne Curry was so much more than just a singer. She was incredibly funny, a good dancer, vivacious, she had a great voice, and she was incredibly entertaining. Jayne has an A+ personality. The audience loved her from the moment she walked onto the stage.
She had an excellent 5-piece band, and she did something I always describe as critically important during a live show. If I can listen to your music on a CD, why would I want to see you in person? That’s why I say it’s very important for an entertainer to build a relationship with the audience. Jayne Curry was amazing in terms of the fabulous relationship she built with the audience last night. Her relationship with the audience made her show so much more fun and interesting than I ever imagined.
I am so thankful to my friend for talking me into giving up the Sunday night football game in exchange for an opportunity to see the Jane Curry show.
It’s a very rare day when, on a scale of 1 to 10, that I give a show a ten, but that was my rating last night. With one exception, everything about her show was excellent. What was that one exception? She kept reminding the audience she was 46 years old, which made me very jealous. I wish I could be 46 again.
CHRISTMAS TREE @ DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH and a CHRISTMAS LIGHTS PAGE
One of the fun things to do in this area is visiting downtown Delray Beach during the holiday season. Every year, they have a fabulous Christmas tree lit up at night. The tree is located between the carousel [Merry Go Round] and the Old School Amphitheater. I went to see the tree the other night and was pleasantly surprised to see around 200 people, who came to see the site, enjoy the festive holiday spirit, and many of them were also online waiting to ride the carousel.
NOTE: We have a CHRISTMAS LIGHTS page where the homeowners transform their street into a magical place during the holiday season. To see what they did, go to the menu above and select “CHRISTMAS LIGHTS”. Here are a couple of sample photos from this page.
DRAMATIC RISE in HP CONDO FEES for 2025
DELRAY MARKETPLACE 2024 CONCERTS EVERY WEDNESDAY NIGHT
The fabulous KRUSH PARTY BAND, the best and most exciting band to ever perform @ Delray Marketplace, was outstanding on November 6th. If you like Motown and Disco, you would have thoroughly enjoyed the evening. They played one great dance song after another, which had the crowd up on the dance floor throughout the entire show.
On opening night of the season, the fun filled, free Delray Marketplace Wednesday evening shows started off great. The first band performing this season was Rhona’s favorite, HAPPY DAZE. They were very good the first 45 minutes, mediocre for the next hour, and then terrific for the last 15 minutes of the show. They ended the evening with 2 fabulous songs from Chuck Berry and then Jerry Lee Lewis, which had a significant portion of the crowd up on the dance floor.
Every time I looked up, my brother was dancing with a different group of women, who loved hanging out with him on the dance floor.
NIGHT OUT CLUB: Halloween Boo Bash
On Sunday, Oct 27th, the Night Out Club, with DJ Arnie, sponsored another fun filled party at the Clubhouse Parking Lot.

On Friday August 23, 2024, HPA President Susan Levine, announced there will be no trial, which was originally scheduled for August 19, 2024. Why? Because the Paving Lady Lawsuit was settled. At this point in time, she is not allowed to give us any details of the settlement. We were told it would be several weeks before the specific details are released.
Four years ago, I was the only HPA board member who voted NO to the lawsuit, which Hal Pugach of Phase III, persuaded the HPA board to engage in. I advised our board members that 94% of civil cases in Florida never go to trial. Here’s what happens. After 3-5 years, both parties get tired of spending massive amounts of money on legal fees and come to an agreement. Very often, they settle for the same conditions they could have settled on in week one.
So far, the HPA spent over THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS on legal fees! Since our attorney will be working on the settlement details of the case for several more weeks, the legal bills could possibly approach $350,000.

HOT BRASS BAND CONCERT: THURSDAY APRIL 25 in DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH
If you’re new to this area, you may not be familiar with the OLD SCHOOL SQUARE AMPHITHEATER in Downtown Delray Beach. For many years, that was the place to be on a Friday night for their exciting, free concerts. The place was always packed, and they have a large dance floor in front of the stage, just like Delray Marketplace. The amphitheater is much bigger than the one at Delray Marketplace.
Who performed? The band was “Hot Brass”, a Chicago based Earth, Wind, & Fire Tribute band. Hot Brass is an 10 piece band, who were phenomenal. In addition to the sounds of Earth, Wind, and Fire, they played songs from Chicago, and threw in a couple of Motown hits. The big question for us, is who had more fun? Was it the audience or members of the band? Here are just 3 photos. If you want to see all of the photos, please click on OLD SCHOOL SQUARE SHOWS on the menu.
WEDNESDAY APRIL 24 @ DELRAY MARKETPLACE
On Wednesday April 24th, a band called REVIBE performed at the last Delray Marketplace show of the 2023-2024 season.

I believe Rhona said they sold 200 tickets for the event and everybody in attendance had a great time.
