About Valencia Shores

Valencia Shores is 1,143 GL Homes single-family homes in Lake Worth, which makes it one of the largest 55+ communities in Palm Beach County. Plans run from roughly 1,682 to 3,466 air-conditioned square feet.

Scale changes the experience. With more than a thousand households, the clubs and activities have enough members to be genuinely active year-round, and the amenity budget stretches further per home. Residents consistently describe it as among the best maintained communities in the county.

Lake Worth also prices differently from Boynton and Delray. For buyers willing to be a few minutes further from the coast, Shores usually delivers more square footage per dollar than an equivalent home further south.

Amenities at Valencia Shores

  • Guard-gated entry
  • Large clubhouse with fitness centre
  • Resort-style pools
  • Tennis and pickleball courts
  • Card rooms and club spaces
  • Extensive social club calendar
  • Lawn maintenance included

What it costs to own at Valencia Shores

Ask me for the current assessment and reserve position. In a community of this size, how well reserves are funded has a direct effect on whether you see a special assessment during your ownership.

The three documents that decide the deal

The current association budget, the most recent reserve study, and twelve months of board minutes. The monthly fee on a listing sheet tells you almost nothing on its own. The reserve study tells you whether an assessment is coming. I pull and read all three for every client, before we make an offer.

Shores is the Lake Worth alternative to the Boynton Valencias, typically offering more square footage per dollar in exchange for a slightly longer drive to the coast.

Valencia Shores questions I get asked most

How big is Valencia Shores?

1,143 homes, which makes it one of the largest 55+ communities in Palm Beach County and considerably larger than any Boynton Beach Valencia.

What is the age requirement at Valencia Shores?

Valencia Shores operates as housing for older persons under the federal Housing for Older Persons Act. In practice that means at least 80 percent of occupied homes must have at least one resident aged 55 or older, the community publishes its intent to operate as 55+, and it verifies ages. Individual policies on younger spouses and adult children vary, so read the governing documents. I will walk you through them.

Is Valencia Shores guard gated?

Yes. Like every GL Homes Valencia community in Palm Beach County, Valencia Shores has a manned entry gate.

Can I rent out a home in Valencia Shores?

Usually yes, with restrictions. Expect a minimum ownership period before you can lease, a minimum lease term, a cap on leases per year, and board approval of the tenant, who must also meet the age requirement. If rental income is part of your plan, raise it in our first conversation.

Is Valencia Shores pet friendly?

The Valencia communities generally welcome cats and dogs, but each one sets its own limits on number, size and sometimes breed. Tell me your pet before we tour and I will confirm the rule in writing.

    Zillow 5 Star Review  Harvey expertly knows how to sell homes in the Valencias and other gated communities in Palm Beach County. He has the right touch with potential buyers and knows how to make the deal happen. He sold our home within about a month of listing. Every potential buyer was real. Harvey advised how we should prep the home for showings and it worked. He is clearly the most professional and talented broker working with the Valencia communities.

  • Zillow 5 Star Review  Harvey is a very experienced real estate professional and we highly recommend him if you need to sell your home. Harvey was very responsive to concerns and was in constant communication with us. He also helped us find vendors to correct some issues. Although we priced our property at a high number based on the current market, and we had to change the price based on the changing market, Harvey achieved getting us our asking price. He was great to work with, especially in a buyers market.

    Zillow 5 Star Review  My wife & I have moved 7 times in the last 27 years due to transfers in my job. Obviously, we've dealt with many realtors both on the buying and selling side. I have to say that Harvey is by far the BEST realtor we have ever worked with. His extensive experience, pleasant personality, professionalism and deep knowledge of his trade were instrumental in closing our deal at a time when we most needed it! If you are buying or selling a home in Boca Raton, Delray Beach, Boynton Beach or surrounding area, do yourselves a favor and hire Harvey Dubov!!Prodip and Denise Chaudhury

    Zillow 5 Star Review  Harvey is amazing. Although he is the realtor, he listened to what I expected from my home. To others it may have been just a house, but it was my home for 36 years. He understood, and treated it as if it was his own! Harvey went above and beyond to sell my house quickly, and still got my asking price. He kept me in the loop every step of the way! There is no better than Harvey Dubov.

    Zillow 5 Star Review  Valentines Day is almost here. Hearts and flowers cannot convey the gratitude we feel to realtor extraordinaire, Harvey Dubov of Keller Williams. Harvey simultaneously orchestrated the sale of our former home and the purchase of our dream house. There is no better advocate than Harvey Dubov to get you to the right place at the right price! Harvey is the South Florida Dynamo!Paulette, Wolf, and their Pack
