Palm Isles: 2,367 homes
and the Oriole Homes alternative to GL.

The Oriole Homes Portfolio

Oriole Homes (now part of Kolter Group) built several of the largest 55+ communities in central PBC during the 1990s: Palm Isles (2,367 homes), Coral Lakes (1,324 homes), and Huntington Pointe (1,096 homes). The Oriole model predates GL Homes' Valencia series and shares some DNA: gated entry, resort clubhouse, full-time activities director, mixed housing types within one community.

The difference: Oriole communities were built in the 1990s, making them 25–30+ years old. They are well-established with mature landscaping and proven HOA track records, but the homes are older than GL Homes Valencias (most built 2005–2020s). This translates to lower purchase prices but potentially higher maintenance costs on individual homes as systems age.

Housing Mix and Pricing

Palm Isles offers genuine variety: condo units in multi-story buildings (lowest price point, ~$200K), attached villas (mid-range, ~$250K–$320K), and single-family homes (highest, ~$350K–$400K+). All share access to the same gated entry, clubhouse, pools, and activities programming. This range means couples at different budget levels can find an option within one community.

Amenities

The clubhouse is the community hub: resort-style pool, fitness center, card rooms, a ballroom for events, and an outdoor patio. The full-time activities director organizes social events, fitness classes, card games, and group outings. Tennis courts, walking paths, and a guarded gate round out the package.

Palm Isles is gated with a manned entrance, providing 24-hour security. The community is well-maintained with lakes and green spaces throughout.
