About Valencia Lakes
Valencia Lakes is where the Boynton Beach Valencia story starts. Built between 1997 and 1999, it is roughly 589 single-family homes, all available on resale.
Residents describe it as having a country club atmosphere with impressive amenities and a calendar full of genuinely good entertainment, and that reputation has held for more than two decades. There is something to be said for a community that has had that long to work out what it wants to be.
This is the least expensive way into a Valencia. For buyers who want the guard gate, the clubhouse and the social structure without a seven-figure purchase price, Lakes is the answer, and it is frequently overlooked because it does not appear in the builder marketing.
Do the same homework you would on any late-1990s house. Roof age, air conditioning age, whether the windows are impact rated, and what the association has funded in reserves.

What it costs to own at Valencia Lakes
Assessments here are typically the lowest of the Boynton Valencias. As with any community of this age, the reserve study matters more than the monthly figure. Ask me to pull both.
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.

Valencia Lakes questions I get asked most
Is Valencia Lakes the oldest Valencia in Boynton Beach?
Yes. It was built between 1997 and 1999 and it is the original Boynton Beach Valencia community.
What is the age requirement at Valencia Lakes?
Valencia Lakes 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 Lakes guard gated?
Yes. Like every GL Homes Valencia community in Palm Beach County, Valencia Lakes has a manned entry gate.
Can I rent out a home in Valencia Lakes?
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 Lakes 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.
