55+ communities in Delray Beach, Florida

Active adult and age-restricted communities in Delray Beach, what they cost, and how they compare against west Boynton Beach.

The Delray Beach 55+ market

Delray Beach is what people picture when they imagine moving to South Florida: a walkable downtown, Atlantic Avenue lined with restaurants and galleries, and the beach at the end of it. The 55+ communities sit west of I-95, close enough to be there in fifteen minutes.

You pay for that. An equivalent GL Homes community in Delray typically runs above its Boynton Beach counterpart, and the premium is the address, not the house. Whether that is worth it is a genuine question rather than a rhetorical one, and it depends entirely on how often you actually go downtown.

The two Valencia communities here are Valencia Falls, built 2001 to 2004 with 724 homes and an unusual number of private pools, and Valencia Palms, built 2005 to 2007 with 600 homes and the largest floor plans of any mid-2000s Valencia. Beyond Valencia, Delray has Four Seasons, Villaggio Reserve, Huntington Pointe, Delray Villas, Floral Lakes, Avalon Trails and Kings Point, which at roughly 7,000 homes is a market of its own and by some distance the least expensive way to live in a 55+ community in this part of the county.

How Delray Beach compares against Boynton Beach

Boynton Beach holds the largest concentration of guard-gated 55+ single-family inventory in Palm Beach County, with nine Valencia communities alone. Before you settle on Delray Beach, it is worth understanding what the same money buys fifteen minutes away.

What to check before you commit, anywhere

The community's current association budget, the most recent reserve study, and twelve months of board minutes. The monthly fee tells you very little on its own. The reserve position tells you whether a special assessment is coming. I pull and read all three for every client.

  • 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  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

    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.
