Valencia Shores

Valencia Shores sits in Lake Worth, Florida, as a gated 55+ community spread across 6.85 acres, built in 2003 with strong concrete, stone, and stucco materials, and managed by FirstService Residential, aiming for a safe, active adult lifestyle. The place holds 1,143 single-family homes, each with different floor plans and features like gourmet kitchens, screened lanais, and covered patios, giving residents plenty of space to relax or host family and friends, while the whole community comes together in two large clubhouses, The Athletic Club and The Social Club, which together offer spaces for wellness, fitness, and social fun. People who like to stay active find a 17,646 square-foot Athletic Club with a 2,400 square-foot fitness center, complete with cardio and strength equipment, separate studios for aerobics, pilates, yoga, zumba, water aerobics, and a full schedule of classes-each listed on a fitness calendar and sometimes coming with specific rates, while the staff stays on hand for personal training and support; anyone looking for relaxation finds private massage therapy rooms, men's and women's spas with saunas, steam rooms, and whirlpool tubs, and both indoor and outdoor options for unwinding. Sports people get tennis, pickleball, air-conditioned racquetball courts, a putting green for practice, and there's a focus on off-site golf, with club events, competitions, and championships at the PB National Golf Club, including men's and women's tournaments, USGA qualifiers, and a listing of results and rankings on the community website. Social life runs strong, with a 34,000 square-foot Social Club that welcomes everyone to four card rooms for games like mah jongg and dominoes, a billiards room, a library, and a big ballroom for performances. There's a busy calendar packed with club meetings-for every letter from A to Z-plus live entertainment, wellness activities, learning opportunities, and hobby classes like watercolor and ceramics, all listed for everyone to see. For meals, residents gather at Shores Bistro, a dining service run by D.R. Deli, or stop at Shorelines Café for breakfast or lunch indoors or out, while the Shorelines community magazine and newsletter keep everyone in the loop about upcoming events, emergency contacts, and service announcements. Beauty and self-care happen at the on-site full-service hair and nail salon, while outdoor spaces give folks areas for walking, swimming in the resort-style pool, sitting in shade gazebos, or spending time at the lakeside beach and tot lot, so families can visit as well. Maintenance is simple with a work order system, security stays strong with gate access through GateKey, and information about the community, fitness equipment, TV, internet, and local resources appears on the website and in printed resources. The community supports independent and active living while making room for specialized care and health options as needed, always keeping social, physical, and mental engagement in mind through organized clubs, events, and wellness services.
