National builder K Hovnanian wants to add 43 for-sale townhomes on a vacant lot next to Deer Creek Country Club, in a part of Deerfield Beach most people drive past on the way to the sand. Here is what is planned, where it stands, and why a big builder is betting on this quiet corner.
Key Takeaways
- K Hovnanian has proposed The Tides at Deerfield Beach, 43 for-sale townhomes on 4.5 vacant acres near Deer Creek Country Club.
- Each three-bedroom townhome would run 1,740 to 1,911 square feet, with a private garage and a loft.
- The plan went before the city's Planning and Zoning Board on May 7, 2026, and still needs a City Commission vote.
National homebuilder K Hovnanian has filed plans for The Tides at Deerfield Beach, a group of 43 for-sale townhomes on a 4.5-acre vacant site at 3116 Deer Creek Country Club Boulevard, just west of the private golf community in Deerfield Beach. The proposal calls for five two-story buildings of three-bedroom homes.
This is an early-stage plan, not a done deal. It went to the city's Planning and Zoning Board on May 7, 2026, but still needs a separate City Commission vote before anything gets built. Even so, a builder of this size choosing this site says something about where for-sale housing demand is heading.
What is The Tides at Deerfield Beach?
The Tides is a new development plan for 43 townhomes spread across five two-story buildings on 4.5 acres of vacant land west of Deer Creek Country Club. The plans also include 109 surface parking spaces.
Each home would have three bedrooms, a private garage, a loft, and energy-efficient appliances, ranging from 1,740 to 1,911 square feet. Whether the community will add a pool or fitness center was not clear at the time of reporting.
The developer, K Hovnanian Homes, is one of the country's largest private homebuilders, headquartered in New Jersey with a sizable presence in Florida. The company has the land under contract from DE Properties.

Where does the proposal stand right now?
As of this writing, the outcome is not settled. The Planning and Zoning Board met on May 7, 2026, but no result has surfaced in public coverage. In Deerfield Beach, the Planning and Zoning Board is advisory; its recommendations go to the City Commission, which takes the final vote. So even a yes from the board would not, on its own, green-light construction. We will update this article once the vote is confirmed.
Why would a national builder choose this Deerfield Beach site?
Deerfield Beach sits right on the Palm Beach and Broward County line, and it is one of the few coastal-county pockets where a builder can still find vacant land for suburban townhomes at a workable price. That alone makes it attractive to a national player.
The Deer Creek corridor adds to the appeal. The private golf community dates to 1971 and is surrounded by roughly 500 condos, townhomes, and single-family homes, with prices ranging from the $200,000s to over $800,000. It is well-established and well-kept, but it has seen little new construction, so a for-sale project here has room to find buyers.
As Larry Mastropieri put it on the Discover South Florida Podcast: "Deer Creek is one of those little gem neighborhoods that people overlook until they actually spend time there."
Mastropieri pointed to the location as the real draw: "You get golf nearby, you get Quiet Waters Park, you get I-95, the Turnpike, and the beach is still right there." For K Hovnanian, that mix supports demand for new for-sale homes in a price range many buyers can still reach. We have tracked similar momentum in nearby Pompano Beach, another corridor drawing builder and investor interest.
What does this mean for Deerfield Beach buyers?
Deerfield Beach is known for its pier and its sand, but this proposal is a reminder that the city has plenty going on inland. Our guide to things to do in Deerfield Beach shows how much sits away from the shoreline. New for-sale townhomes give buyers a way to own new construction here without paying a beachfront premium.
Much of the housing built across South Florida lately has been rental apartments. A for-sale townhome community aimed at the mid-market is a different kind of supply, and it tends to draw buyers who plan to stay.
If the plan clears its votes, it would add a small but useful piece of inventory in an area that mixes golf, parks, and quick highway access. It also fits the broader pattern of change shaping Deerfield Beach real estate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Where is The Tides at Deerfield Beach located?
The Tides is planned for 3116 Deer Creek Country Club Boulevard in Deerfield Beach, on a 4.5-acre vacant site just west of Deer Creek Country Club. The location puts it near golf and Quiet Waters Park, with quick access to I-95 and the Turnpike, while the beach is still a short drive east.
How many townhomes are planned, and how big are they?
The proposal includes 43 townhomes in five two-story buildings. Each home has three bedrooms and runs from 1,740 to 1,911 square feet, with a private garage, a loft, and energy-efficient appliances. The site plan also shows 109 surface parking spaces for residents and guests.
Has The Tides at Deerfield Beach been approved yet?
Not as far as public records show. The plan went before the Planning and Zoning Board on May 7, 2026, but no outcome has been reported. The board is only advisory, so the City Commission still has the final vote. Treat the timeline as early and subject to change.
Who is the developer behind the project?
K Hovnanian Homes, one of the largest private homebuilders in the country, is behind The Tides. The company is based in New Jersey and builds across Florida. It has the Deerfield Beach land under contract from DE Properties, the current owner of the vacant parcel.
How much will the townhomes cost?
K Hovnanian has not released pricing. For context, homes in the Deer Creek community range from the $200,000s to more than $800,000, and new three-bedroom townhomes of this size usually fall in the mid-market range. Confirm any figures directly with the builder once sales open.
