The Spruce Creek Fly-in Community is the world's most famous residential airpark. It boasts exclusive real estate with access to taxiways, a 4,000ft lighted runway - (GPS Approach), a championship golf course, plenty of space, nature and virtually a one-of-a-kind private and gated community. It can accommodate anything from a Cub to a Gulfstream and more (Even the Goodyear Blimp paid a visit not long ago).
