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.

PHASE ONE ROOF PROJECT UPDATE
After the Phase One board meeting on Monday February 9th, the board members met with Crest Roofing and we learned the following.
- Every villa will be inspected by Crest Roofing before they start work on the roof. That inspection should take no more than 5-10 minutes.
- The actual roof repair project is scheduled to start on Monday February 23rd. If nothing unexpected happens, it should take about 8 months to complete.
- Crest Roofing and the board will try to provide timely updates on when your roof is scheduled to be repaired.
- A roof repair should take between 2-4 days. It will be very noisy, and the recommend you protect your furniture.
- If you decide to pay the assessment in full, the estimated up front payment is $19,736.84.
- If you decide to go on the installment plan, the estimated quarterly assessment fee will be $672.32
- Add that quarterly fee to your current Phase I Condo fee of $3,045, and it comes to $3,717.32
- Please note, if you sign up for monthly payments via Western Alliance Bank, that new quarterly fee becomes $1,239.10 per month.
PHASE ONE SPECIAL ASSESSMENT PAYMENTS – INSTALLMENT OPTION
CAVEAT 01: Please note that none of the numbers below are official, they are subject to being changed in the near future.
CAVEAT 02: Even though this article is written for Phase I-unit owners, I’m confident that much of it concepts will also apply to the Phase III Special Assessment for their roof project. Obviously, their dollar amounts will be very different.
CAVEAT 03: Whatever you decide to do, this will definitely be a massive financial burden for all Phase I-unit owners.
POINT NUMBER ONE
The first important point to understand is, unlike the HPA Special Assessment, if you go on the 10 year installment plan, I was told there will be no separate account. The amount of the special assessment will instead be added to the quarterly condo fee. Here’s an example, using made up numbers for the assessment fee.
- The phase one quarterly condo fee is $3,045
- If the quarterly special assessment fee is $680, that amount will be added to the quarterly condo fee, and you will owe $3,725 each quarter.
POINT NUMBER TWO
In Phase One, I’ve helped between 15 and 20 unit owners convert over to MONLTHY CONDO PAYMENTS. Why? Because the quarterly condo fees have almost doubled in the last 4-5 years. You’re not saving one dollar, but paying monthly, instead of quarterly, makes the financial burden much easier.
In this case, instead of paying a $3,725 quarterly condo fee once every 3 months, if you decide to go with the monthly option, simply divide $3,725 by 3 and your monthly payment is $1,241.66.
If you are interested in going with this option, I will be happy to help you set up your payments with Western Alliance Bank, which is Campbell’s bank. I’ve been using them for over three years and they are excellent.
POINT NUMBER THREE
Unit owner question: Should I pay the almost $20,000 Special Assessment fee in full, or should I go on the installment plan? Please be advised, the answer is not a right or wrong issue, it’s a personal preference. Each unit owner must decide which option is best for them.
However, I want to point out something many unit owners completely overlook. I’ve heard from numerous Phase One-unit owners who said they might consider the installment plan if the interest rate was significantly lower than the current rate of 6.5%. In essence, they are saying that interest rate is too high.
I tell those people, yes, that interest rate is very high, but you are overlooking something very important. Please listen carefully to the following.
If you go with the Installment Plan option, you can take that $20,000 and instead of giving it to Phase One, place it in a High Yield Savings Account, or a CD and probably earn slightly more than 4% interest.
That means, you are not paying 6.5% interest, you are actually paying only 2.5% interest, or slightly less.
More importantly, if something totally unexpected comes up, you have that $20,000 in your savings account, which you can use to pay that large, unexpected expense in the event of a financial emergency.
JAYNE CURRY SHOW – SATURDAY January 17 2026
Last night was a very special evening in our HP Theater. A sellout crowd was thoroughly enchanted with Jayne Curry, who was phenomenal for 90 minutes. Jayne has everything going for her. She has a fabulous singing voice, an outstanding 5-piece band, a terrific personality, she’s incredibly funny, and she can dance.
The wide-ranging repertoire of songs she chose was also excellent.
But Jayne did something special, which I always look for at a live performance. I always tell my friends, you can stay home and play CDs from the artist, but what makes a live performance special is the following. You want to see the artist engaging with the audience and that’s what Jayne Curry did. From the moment she came on stage, she built a very close relationship with the audience and kept us fully engaged all night long. Wow! What an incredible job on her part!
I don’t know if it was the best show of the season, but I find it hard to imagine anyone doing a better job.
CHRISTMAS LIGHTS IN BOCA RATON
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. The photos were taken near Spanish River and I-95.
KRUSH PARTY BAND in DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH at the TIN ROOF
Their contract is over. However, recently, on Wednesday evenings, from 7-10 PM, the fabulous Krush Party Band performed at the Tin Roof. If you love Disco and Motown, I think they are far and away, the best band in south Florida. So far, from my perspective, the crowds have been relatively small, but they were always on the dance floor all evening. Here are some of the songs they sang, plus several photos. “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” / “Just My Imagination”/”My Girl”/ “Play That Funky Music White Boy”/ “Papa Was a Rolling Stone”/ “Love Train”/ “Tennessee Whiskey”.
NEW DISCO CLUB in DOWNTOWN DELRAY BEACH
If you love dancing, and if you loved the Disco Era, you definitely should visit this new club. I have information and photos on the page called “DISCO CLUB: GOOD NIGHT JOHN BOY”. Select that page from the menu above. Here are just 3 photos to get your attention.
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. Some of the info below came from the HP website.
For those residents who are not familiar with this hedge, it runs 2,500 linear feet behind some Phase III Villas along Lake IDA, and Phase IV apartment buildings. The hedge started when the community was built in the early 1990s. The hedge is currently 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 for several years and has been sprayed twice a year to keep the disease from spreading. Despite the numerous spraying, 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. But in 2025 or 2026, it will probably cost a lot more than that.
Todd, our outstanding landscaper, gave the HPA BOD four different options for resolving the problem.
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, 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 idiotic 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.

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.
