Delray Beach, FL — Palm Beach County

Valencia Falls:
The Delray Beach Valencia — and the only one not in Boynton.

Most Valencias are in Boynton Beach. Valencia Falls is the exception — located in Delray Beach, giving residents a different zip code, different city services, and proximity to downtown Delray Beach and Atlantic Avenue. 724 single-family homes built between 2004 and 2008 with the standard GL Homes formula. Resale prices of $350K–$550K are competitive with Valencia Isles and Pointe. The Delray Beach location adds a slight price premium for the address but also means slightly higher city millage than Boynton Beach communities.

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 Falls sits between the Florida Turnpike and I-95, making it one of the most highway-accessible Valencias. Downtown Delray Beach is about 10 minutes east. The community is fully built out with mature landscaping. The Har-Tru tennis courts are a differentiator — most Valencias have hard courts.

Clubhouse and Amenities

Valencia Falls features an assortment of amenities including a spacious clubhouse with fitness center, resort-style outdoor pool, Har-Tru tennis courts, and scenic lakes. 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.

The comparison question

Every Valencia buyer asks: which one? The answer depends on budget, amenity expectations, and whether you prioritize newer construction or lower entry price. We compare all ten side by side in our GL Homes Valencia Series Guide.
