Pompano Beach Highlands was developed by the Mackle Company of Miami in the mid 1950s. A 1958 advertisement indicates that there were four models of homes for sale: the Lime Beach for $9,550; the Orange Beach for $10,000; the Holiday Beach for $10,655; and the only three bedroom model, the Cypress Beach, costing $10,710.

Homebuyers could move in for as little as a $300 FHA down payment, and monthly payments of under $70.
