Start with the comparison, not the sales centre

Most people arrive at this market with one community name and no way to place it against the eleven others. That is how you end up spending four weekends driving Lyons Road and still not knowing which one you want.

I have put the whole picture in one place: when each community was built, how many homes it has, what the clubhouse actually offers, whether you can still buy new, and who each one genuinely suits. Read that first. Then we can have a twenty-minute conversation that narrows it to two.

Every Valencia, compared

Start here

All twelve GL Homes communities side by side. Del Mar vs Grand, Grand vs Sound, and the real arithmetic of new construction against resale.

55+ in Boynton Beach

The largest market

Nine Valencia communities plus everything that is not a Valencia, sorted by budget, with what your money actually buys in each band.

What it costs to own

Carrying costs

HOA assessments, capital contributions, special assessments, property taxes and insurance. The numbers that are not on the listing sheet.

The rules, plainly

Age, pets, rentals

The 80/20 rule, younger spouses, adult children, pet limits and rental restrictions. What federal law requires and where communities differ.

Buying new from GL Homes

Before you visit

Why your own agent costs you nothing, what changes if you do not have one, and the single moment where you can lose the option permanently.

Community guides

Every Valencia has its own page with floor plans, amenities, carrying costs and an honest read on who it suits. See all twelve.

Valencia Del Mar

Boynton Beach

The newest community in the Valencia series, and the first to offer two-story plans. New construction from GL Homes on Lyons Road, south of Valencia Grand.

Valencia Grand

Boynton Beach

The largest clubhouse in the Valencia series at 44,000 square feet, and the community that introduced indoor pickleball, a yoga garden and a sports simulator.

Valencia Sound

Boynton Beach

The smallest and the most social of the recent Valencias. Sold out by GL Homes, available only on resale, and it moves quickly.

Valencia Reserve

Boynton Beach

1,043 homes off Lyons Road, built 2009 to 2014, with a $9.3 million clubhouse rebuild approved by referendum. Read the assessment before you offer.

Valencia Cove

Boynton Beach

823 homes built between 2013 and 2018. Well established, well maintained, and the most 2010s house you can buy without paying new-construction pricing.

Valencia Shores

Lake Worth

1,143 homes in Lake Worth, one of the largest 55+ communities in Palm Beach County, and consistently among the best maintained.

Harvey Dubov, 55+ and active adult real estate specialist, Palm Beach County, Florida

Forty-seven years in this market

I was first licensed as a Florida Realtor in 1979 and I have been working Palm Beach and Broward counties ever since. I lived in Boca Raton from 1982 and my family now lives in Seven Bridges in Delray Beach, which puts me a few minutes from most of the communities on this site.

My work spans country club properties, oceanfront and intracoastal estates, guard-gated communities and active adult. Between 2016 and 2020 I was ranked the number one producer in Florida among my agency peers, fourteenth in the United States, and inducted into their Hall of Fame.

What I care about here is simpler than any of that. This is usually the last house somebody buys. Getting it right matters more than getting it done quickly, and I will tell you when a community is wrong for you even when it costs me the transaction.

    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  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  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  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  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
