Talk to a Specialist →Ask most GL Homes buyers to name a Valencia and they'll picture Boynton Beach — because nine of the ten communities are there. Valencia Falls, 724 homes built between 2004 and 2008, sits alone in Delray Beach. That single fact changes more about the ownership experience than most tours ever mention.
What actually changes when the city changes
The Boynton Beach Valencias
Lakes, Isles, Cove, Pointe, Reserve, Shores (technically Lake Worth, adjacent), Bay, Del Mar, and Sound all fall under Boynton Beach city millage.
Buyers comparing Valencias against each other are usually comparing apples to apples on the tax side — same city, same millage rate, same municipal services.
Valencia Falls (and Palms), Delray Beach
Falls and Palms carry Delray Beach city millage instead. Delray Beach's rate runs somewhat higher than Boynton Beach's, which means two otherwise-identical GL Homes resales at the same purchase price can carry meaningfully different annual tax bills depending purely on which side of the city line they sit.
Get the actual current millage figure from the Palm Beach County Property Appraiser for the specific parcel — don't assume it matches a Boynton Beach comp you've already priced out.

The upside of being the Delray Beach one
The higher millage buys something: downtown Delray Beach and Atlantic Avenue's restaurant and shopping corridor sit roughly 10 minutes east of Valencia Falls — a meaningfully different daily-life amenity than what the Boynton Beach Valencias offer, and one some buyers pay the tax premium specifically for. Falls also sits between the Florida Turnpike and I-95, making it one of the more highway-accessible communities in the entire series for anyone regularly driving to Miami, Fort Lauderdale, or Palm Beach International.
The community itself carries the full GL Homes standard: resort-style clubhouse, fitness center, card and game rooms, arts studios, a ballroom, and a full-time lifestyle director. One genuine differentiator: Har-Tru tennis courts, a step up from the hard courts most other Valencias use — a detail that matters if you're a serious tennis player and mostly irrelevant if you're not.
Where it lands on price
At $350K–$550K, Falls prices competitively against Isles and Pointe — other mid-vintage Valencias — despite the Delray Beach address premium some buyers expect to pay for. Built 2004–2008, it's fully established with mature landscaping and two decades of HOA financial history, which buyers weighing it against the newer, pricier Boynton Beach Valencias should factor in: you're trading brand-new amenities for a proven, settled community and a downtown Delray Beach address.
