Valencia Del Mar:
GL Homes builds a resort, not just a clubhouse.

Where It Sits in the Valencia Lineup

GL Homes has built ten Valencia communities in Palm Beach County, producing more than 7,000 homes over two decades. They share a brand and a formula: gated entry, resort-style clubhouse, single-family homes, HOAs in the $200–$350/month range, and a full-time activities director. But they differ meaningfully in build year, home design, clubhouse scale, and resale pricing. Valencia Del Mar is currently selling new construction. The community is not fully built out, meaning buyers in early phases will live with construction activity for some period. The benefit: new-construction customization options and the newest GL Homes floor plans. The risk: buying into a community before the final product is fully delivered. The restaurant and spa are signature amenities that no other Valencia offers.

Clubhouse and Amenities

Valencia Del Mar features an 8-acre recreational site with a grand social hall, luxury restaurant with indoor and patio seating, a sports lounge, and a world-class spa with steam rooms, saunas, and private treatment suites. The amenity package follows the GL Homes standard: resort-style pool, fitness center, tennis and pickleball courts, card and game rooms, arts studios, a ballroom or event space, and a full-time lifestyle director. The newer Valencias (Sound, Del Mar) have larger clubhouses with more specialized amenities like full-service restaurants and spa facilities. The older Valencias (Lakes, Isles) have smaller but fully functional clubhouses.

The GL Homes Resale Pattern

GL Homes communities follow a consistent resale pattern: prices peak during initial sales (new construction premium), dip slightly in the first 3–5 years as the new-construction premium fades, then stabilize and appreciate with the broader market. Older Valencias like Valencia Lakes and Valencia Isles offer the best entry prices but older home designs. Newer Valencias like Valencia Sound and Valencia Del Mar offer modern floor plans at higher prices. Valencia Shores and Valencia Reserve sit in the middle — established enough for resale value history, new enough for contemporary design.
