Life at Valencia Riverland
is Everything You Earned
Florida's Premier Resort-Style Community — Ranked #34 in the Nation
Done with the winters? Ready to trade shovels for sunsets, commutes for pickleball courts, and stress for the lifestyle you've been working toward your entire life? Whether you're relocating from the Northeast, the Midwest, the West Coast, or anywhere in between — Valencia Riverland in Port St. Lucie, FL is calling your name.
You've Worked Hard.
This Is the Reward.
Every year, thousands of homebuyers from across the country — New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, the Midwest, California, and beyond — make the move to Valencia Riverland. Here's what keeps people coming back to tour, and what makes them sign.
Escape the Cold for Good
No more scraping ice, shoveling snow, or dreading January. Port St. Lucie enjoys year-round sunshine, warm beaches just minutes away, and the outdoor lifestyle that Florida is famous for. This isn't a vacation — it's your new everyday.
Resort Amenities — Included
Every homeowner gets access to the Riverland master amenity campus: the nation's largest pickleball facility in a gated community, a 51,000 sq. ft. Wellness Center, an Arts & Culture Center, resort pools, sports courts, and a Publix right inside the community.
World-Class Medical Care Nearby
The Cleveland Clinic Tradition Hospital sits right across the street from Riverland. For retirees, peace of mind matters — and having top-tier healthcare a 2-minute drive away is a major reason buyers choose this location over others.
A City Built Around Living Well
Port St. Lucie was named Best Place to Retire by US News & World Report and ranks as the 5th fastest-growing city in the US. Catch NY Mets spring training, play PGA Village golf, boat the St. Lucie River, or dine at Jensen Beach — it's all within reach.

That Fits You Best
Riverland is home to five distinct Valencia neighborhoods by GL Homes — each with its own clubhouse, pool, and social scene, all sharing the incredible master amenity campus.
Valencia Cay
The original Valencia community at Riverland. Cay set the standard for luxury 55+ living in Port St. Lucie. While new construction is complete, beautiful resales regularly become available — many with premium lake views and high-end upgrades already done.
Valencia Grove
Valencia Grove brought elegant larger homes and lush surroundings to Riverland. Resale buyers love Grove for its established, mature feel and stunning lake-front homesites. A great option if you'd prefer a move-in ready home without the wait.
Valencia Walk
Valencia Walk brought the next generation of home designs to Riverland with enhanced exterior and interior options. Base prices starting from the $400s. Limited homesites remain — early move-in homes with significant savings are available now.
Valencia Parc
The newest active community features a stunning 38,000 sq ft clubhouse, resort pool with outdoor bar, luxury club villas, and single-family homes from 1,348 to 3,436 sq ft. HOA is approximately $427/month. The most options, most collections, and most inventory available today.
Valencia Vista
GL Homes has just announced Valencia Vista — the 5th and newest community at Riverland, promising elevated new home designs and world-class amenities. Early interest lists are forming now. If you want first access to the best homesites, this is the time to connect with us before Vista officially opens.
12–13 Months to Build.
Perfect Timing to Plan Your Move.
One of the biggest concerns buyers from the Northeast have is the logistics of buying a new home while still owning one. The build timeline at Valencia actually works in your favor.
Reserve Your Home & Lot
You put down 10% of the base price of the home, lot, and any structural options. This secures your homesite and locks in your floor plan. Your remaining savings stay in your pocket.
10% Deposit to StartDesign Appointment (~1 Month Later)
About a month after contract, you'll visit the Design Studio to personalize your home — flooring, cabinets, countertops, fixtures, and more. At this point you pay 25–50% of your design options total. Nothing else is due until closing.
Pick Your FinishesBuild Time: 12–13 Months
Use this time wisely. Sell your current home, finish out your career or retirement date, downsize your belongings, and plan the move. The build timeline gives you a runway that most communities don't offer. Nothing additional is due during construction.
Time to TransitionClosing Day — You're Home
The remaining balance is due at closing. You get the keys to your brand-new, fully personalized home with all upgrades complete and your resort lifestyle ready to begin the moment you walk through the door.

This Is the Most Important Thing You'll Read on This Page
When you walk into a builder's sales office without a registered realtor, you forfeit your right to independent representation — for the entire transaction. The builder's agent works for the builder. They are not on your side.
You must register with us BEFORE your first visit — or if you've already visited, you must put our name down with the builder and contact us within 24 hours so we can properly register you and protect your interests.
And here's the best part: Using a realtor costs you absolutely nothing. The builder pays our compensation. There is zero financial downside to having expert representation — and a significant downside to not having it.
What We Do for You — That No One Else Will
Your Eyes on the Ground
Can't make it to Port St. Lucie during construction? We visit the site, send you photo and video updates throughout the build so you always know what's happening.
Contract Guidance
New construction contracts are written to protect the builder. We walk you through every clause, explain your rights, identify potential issues, and make sure you know exactly what you're signing.
Coordinated Inspections
We coordinate independent third-party inspections during the build and at closing — not just the builder's own inspections — to make sure your new home meets the highest standards.
Homesite Selection Strategy
Not all lots are created equal. We know which homesites offer premium water views, ideal orientation, and the best long-term resale value — and we'll guide you toward the right one.
Design Appointment Support
The design studio can feel overwhelming. We help you prioritize upgrades that add real value vs. ones that are better done after closing, so you spend your budget wisely.
From Contract to Keys
We're with you every step of the way — deadlines, milestones, closing logistics, and every question in between. You'll never feel alone in the process.
Relocation Coordination
Moving from out of state? We connect you with trusted movers, local resources, and community contacts to make your transition as smooth as possible.
Help Selling Your Current Home
Need to sell before you can buy? We can connect you with top agents in your current market or list your home ourselves. One trusted team for the full transition.
Moving from Out of State?
We Specialize in This.
Whether you're coming from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, New England, the Midwest, the West Coast, or anywhere in between — we've helped buyers from all over the country make a seamless move to Port St. Lucie.
We know how overwhelming it can feel to buy a home you've never lived in, in a city you're still learning, from hundreds of miles away. That's why we built a relocation experience that makes the process feel local — no matter where you're starting from.
Start Your Relocation ConversationVirtual Home Tours
Can't fly down? We do live FaceTime and Zoom walkthroughs of resale homes and model homes so you can get the full feel from your living room in New York.
Curated Visit Itineraries
When you do visit, we plan a focused, productive trip — community tours, model walkthroughs, neighborhood drives, and dining recommendations included.
Northeast Market Coordination
We work seamlessly with your agent at home so timelines align. Your current sale and your new purchase can be coordinated so you're never stuck in the middle.
Local Expert Introductions
We connect you with trusted local attorneys, mortgage lenders, title companies, and community contacts before you ever move so you arrive knowing people.
Build Monitoring for Remote Buyers
If you're building from out of state, we become your local representative — attending key milestones, sending updates, and flagging anything that needs your attention.
Move In Now.

Prefer not to wait 12–13 months? Valencia Cay and Valencia Grove — both sold out for new construction — regularly have resale homes available, many with premium upgrades already in place and lake views already secured. Valencia Walk and Valencia Parc resales are also emerging.
