Valencia Bay is a 55+ active adult community built by GL Homes, and you'll find it has a secure, manned guard gate, plenty of walking paths, and a big focus on fitness, sports, and social activities, so people stay as busy as they want to be, whether they're enjoying the eight-acre recreation area, the 33,000-square-foot clubhouse, or relaxing back at home. The club has a grand ballroom with a stage and dance floor for shows and special events, card rooms for games, an art and crafts studio with a kiln, a yoga room, a billiards room, and a full-service restaurant with inside and outside seating, a bar, and a cafe, plus a catering kitchen with a demonstration studio for cooking classes or events. Folks use the social hall for concerts, lectures, and other gatherings, and there's a business center and a library for those wanting quieter spaces, while the spa and wellness room have massage and steam areas, and the pool has shady pavilions, lap lanes, a kids' pool, a resistance exercise pool, and a whirlpool.
Homes come in three collections-Signature, Vintage, and Crown-with sizes from 1,846 to over 3,278 square feet, offering two to four bedrooms and up to four bathrooms, all with upscale basics like granite kitchen counters, stainless appliances, 42-inch cabinets, high-impact windows, covered porches, and attached two to three-car garages, and there are waterfront and garden view sites, plus easy access to nearby shopping, golf, and beaches. Some homes come with master suites on the ground floor for accessibility, and you've got options for flexible rooms like dens or game rooms as well. The community has 582 single-family homes, all built between 2015 and 2018, and the grounds include lakes, wildlife preserves, shade pavilions, and "Chill Zones" along trails.
Valencia Bay has six Har-Tru tennis courts, a world-class Tennis Center with a Pro Shop and a resident Tennis Pro, six pickleball courts, two handball courts, two bocce courts (including four clay courts), a bocce ball court, half-court basketball, and lighted courts for playing in the evening. There's also a multisport simulator for golf and soccer, and the fitness center comes with cardio and strength machines, an exercise studio, and group classes, while the yoga garden outdoors offers a spot for mindfulness and relaxation. Activities really keep you busy, since the full-time Lifestyle Director sets up trips, shows, special social events, and over 100 clubs for whatever folks are interested in, like aerobics, arts and crafts, book clubs, billiards, card games, table tennis, and swimming, with plenty of scheduled and resident-run gatherings, classes, and movie nights.
The community offers a CCRC setup with various care levels, including assisted living, supervision, medication help, and daily support with things like bathing and getting dressed, plus a 24-hour call system. There's a concierge, housekeeping and laundry, move-in help, transportation, parking, and an on-site maintenance team, so things stay handled, and the HOA is about $700 a month. Dining options suit all sorts of needs, with restaurant-style dining, a dining room, allergy-sensitive food, meal prep, and menus for special diets like diabetes. Pets are allowed with some breed restrictions. Homes are comfortable with private baths, kitchenettes, cable TV, high-speed internet, air conditioning, telephone, and furniture, and everything tries to aim for a safe, happy, low-maintenance setup where people have opportunity for healthy, engaged living. Local airports-including Palm Beach International, Fort Lauderdale, and Miami-are close enough for travel, and there are private airports too for those that need them. Developed by GL Homes, Valencia Bay is their ninth Valencia community, and while the place is fancy with resort-like touches, it just tries to make it as smooth, safe, and enjoyable as possible for people who want to stay active and involved with others.
