Valencia Harbor homes for sale are linked below, filtered to the Valencia Harbor subdivision and sorted by price. New GL Homes houses are also sold at the builder's sales center at 3534 Primrose Hill Way, and through September 2026 the county file shows no resale yet, so most choices today are new or nearly new. Data updated: October 2026. Days on market, sale-to-list ratios and active-listing counts come from the MLS and are being added in our next data refresh.
Listing data refreshes from the MLS throughout the day, and a listing shown may already be under contract. Every Valencia Harbor home carries a Fort Myers, FL 33905 mailing address, so searches for Valencia Harbor Fort Myers FL homes for sale and Valencia Harbor in Fort Myers return the same community. Valencia Harbor is a single-family community only: the county roll shows no condominium homes.
Buying new from the builder or buying a resale
A Valencia Harbor buyer today is mostly choosing between a GL Homes plan built to order, an early move-in home the builder has already started, or, once owners begin to sell, a resale. The builder's October 2026 plan pages list a "Build From" price and, for 11 of the 16 plans, a higher "Early Move-in From" price, from $378,900 for the Montserrat to $751,900 for the Bahama. Recorded first sales run above base prices because options and lot premiums add to them, which the price sections below show in numbers.

What do homes in Valencia Harbor sell for?
Valencia Harbor homes sold at a median of $490,202 on the Lee County record across 75 qualified sales in the 12 months through September 25, 2026 (the newest sale in the county index), from $345,400 to $955,057. Every one was a builder first sale of a home built in 2025, and no resale has recorded yet. Data updated: October 2026. We tracked every qualified Valencia Harbor sale on the Lee County file, address by address, to build the tables below.
| Lee County recorded sales | Sales | Median | Low | High |

The newest Valencia Harbor sale in the file recorded September 3, 2026. The county arithmetic shows the median down 14.0 percent from the prior 12 months, but that prior window holds a single sale, so the comparison is not a price trend.
Valencia Harbor sales by calendar year
| Year | Sales | Median | Builder first sales |

Valencia Harbor sales by month
The 75 sales in the latest 12 months recorded unevenly: 1 in September 2025, 7 in October, 16 in November, 19 in December, 18 in January 2026 and 8 in February, then 1 in March, 1 in May, 2 in June, 1 in August and 1 in September 2026. November 2025 to January 2026 alone account for 53 of the 75. The county sale file posts deeds with a lag behind closings, so the most recent months on the file are a floor, not a full count, and the next county refresh will add to them.
Price bands in the last 12 months
Of the 75 recorded sales, none closed at $300,000 or less, 7 between $300,000 and $400,000, 34 between $400,000 and $500,000, 25 between $500,000 and $750,000, and 9 between $750,000 and $1,000,000. No Valencia Harbor sale in the window reached $1,000,000. The $400,000 to $500,000 band was the busiest, with 34 of the 75 sales (45 percent), and 34 sales closed at $500,000 or more.
The highest and lowest recent Valencia Harbor sales
| Highest 12-month sales | Recorded | Price | Built |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14312 Hogarth Pl | February 12, 2026 | $955,057 | 2025 |
| 14301 Hogarth Pl | December 30, 2025 | $935,677 | 2025 |

| 3372 Meloy Dr | December 17, 2025 | $367,044 | 2025 |
| 14000 Aldersgate Ave | November 19, 2025 | $374,115 | 2025 |
| 3392 Meloy Dr | December 5, 2025 | $379,757 | 2025 |
All five of the highest sales are on Hogarth Place, and four of the five lowest are on Aldersgate Avenue and Meloy Drive. The highest qualified Valencia Harbor sale anywhere in the county file is the same $955,057 sale at 14312 Hogarth Pl, recorded February 12, 2026.
Recorded prices compared with the builder's base prices
GL Homes' October 2026 plan pages start at $352,900 and top out at a $600,900 base for the Bahama. The county median of $490,202 sits $137,302 above the lowest base price, and the highest recorded sale, $955,057, sits $354,157 above the highest base price. That is the arithmetic gap between a base price and a recorded price: recorded first sales run above base prices because options and lot premiums add to them, and this page makes no claim about what any one buyer chose. Two of the 75 sales recorded below today's $352,900 entry price, which fits the builder's lower headline prices in earlier posts ($341,900 in spring 2026), and 21 recorded above the $600,900 Bahama base.
Price per square foot in Valencia Harbor
County dollars per square foot on DRG pages use heated (living) area from the Lee County roll, not total area under roof. For Valencia Harbor the 2026 roll does not yet carry heated area for these new homes, so the county file gives no dollars-per-square-foot figure. The builder publishes heated area by plan, from 1,599 square feet for the Montserrat to 3,169 for the Cayman, and the plan table below pairs each plan's size with its base price.
Assessed values on the 2026 roll
The Lee County Property Appraiser's 2026 roll sets a median just value of $439,675 and a median taxable value of $429,991 across the 95 homes, on a median lot of 0.160 acres. Both values sit below the $490,202 median recorded price. The county's land-view field tags 37 of the 95 homes as lake lots, and the roll lists no pool on any of the 95, so confirm pool and view on the listing for the exact home.
What the county record cannot show
The county file records the price and the date a deed was recorded. It does not record the asking price, the options inside a new home's price, how long a home was listed or how many homes are for sale today. Those are MLS and builder contract fields, and the MLS fields are being added in our next data refresh; the listing links above show current inventory now.
Valencia Harbor streets and collections compared
Valencia Harbor's recorded sales split clearly by street: Hogarth Place and Leadenhall Street carry the largest recorded prices, while Aldersgate Avenue and Meloy Drive carry the entry prices. The table groups the 75 sales of the latest 12 months by street, from the county's own sale list. Data updated: October 2026.
| Street (Lee County sale list) | 12-month sales | Median | Low | High |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aldersgate Ave | 15 | $428,971 | $345,400 | $537,386 |
| Cumbria Ct | 12 | $500,937 | $448,185 | $642,105 |

| Gilmores Pl | 1 | $551,900 | $551,900 | $551,900 |
Source: Lee County Property Appraiser qualified sales, 12 months through September 25, 2026, grouped by the street in each sale's site address (medians of two sales are averaged and rounded to the dollar). Every recorded home sits in one county plat group, Buckingham 345 Plat One, so the county gives no neighborhood name below the community; the street is the finest grouping the record supports. A median of one to five sales is a range, not a price.
Hogarth Place
Hogarth Place holds the highest recorded prices in Valencia Harbor: 12 sales in the latest 12 months at a $812,527 median, from $586,915 to $955,057. All five of the community's highest sales are on Hogarth Place, topped by $955,057 at 14312 Hogarth Pl on February 12, 2026, and 10 of the 12 Hogarth sales closed at $650,000 or more.
Aldersgate Avenue
Aldersgate Avenue recorded the most sales of any street, 15 in the latest 12 months, at a $428,971 median, from $345,400 to $537,386. It holds the two lowest sales in the community ($345,400 at 14025 and $345,595 at 14013 Aldersgate Ave), so it is where the county record shows the entry prices.
Cumbria Court
Cumbria Court recorded 12 sales at a $500,937 median, the middle of the community's price range, from $448,185 to $642,105. Nine of its sales sit between $448,185 and $549,259, with three above: $575,900, $597,900 and $642,105, and it recorded one of the newest sales in the file, $597,900 at 14496 Cumbria Ct on June 3, 2026.
Meloy Drive
Meloy Drive recorded 9 sales at a $408,911 median, from $367,044 to $487,900, the lowest street median in Valencia Harbor. Two of the five lowest community sales are on Meloy Drive, and one of the newest county sales, $487,900 at 3369 Meloy Dr, recorded August 21, 2026.
Braidwood Place
Braidwood Place recorded 7 sales at a $457,215 median, from $385,975 to $601,685. Six of the seven closed below $540,000, and the $601,685 sale at 14040 Braidwood Pl, recorded November 5, 2025, is the street's high.
Hammett Way
Hammett Way recorded 6 sales in a tight band, $432,531 to $488,900, at a $448,994 median. The $488,900 sale at 3362 Hammett Way on September 30, 2025 is the oldest sale in the latest 12-month window.
Finsbury Way and Addle Hill Way
Finsbury Way recorded 5 sales at a $650,022 median, from $579,102 to $713,900, the third-highest street median, after Hogarth Place and Leadenhall Street. Addle Hill Way recorded 5 sales at a $506,872 median, from $461,438 to $622,202, close to the community median.
Leadenhall Street and Gilmores Place
Leadenhall Street recorded only 3 sales, at $686,184, $772,341 and $858,172, so its median of $772,341 is a range, not a price. Gilmores Place recorded the newest Valencia Harbor sale in the county index: $551,900 at 3763 Gilmores Pl, recorded September 3, 2026.
The three GL Homes collections and 16 floor plans
GL Homes sells Valencia Harbor in three collections: Shoreline (from the $350s), Marina (from the $420s) and Bayside (from the $550s). The 16 plans run from 2 to 4 bedrooms and 1,599 to 3,169 heated square feet, with 2-car or 3-car garages. Prices below are the builder's base "Build From" and "Early Move-in From" figures, seen on glhomes.com on October 28, 2026; the builder changes them without notice.

How the builder's prices have moved
GL Homes' own posts date the entry price: "from the mid $330,000s" at the March 7, 2025 launch, $341,900 in the spring 2026 posts, $343,900 in June 2026 and $352,900 in October 2026. The Exuma rose from $364,900 at launch to $377,900, and the Bahama from $579,900 to $600,900, both about 3.6 percent. Builder incentives, such as a "$15,000 in free options" offer tied to the builder's affiliated lender and title company seen in October 2026, are time-limited promotions, so ask the sales center what applies on the day you sign.
Phase Two and the Phase III notice
Valencia Harbor's first plat, recorded July 18, 2024 as Lee County Instrument 2024000202847 under the name Buckingham 345 Plat One, holds 447 lots, and every home sale on the county file so far is in it. The Valencia Harbor Phase Two plat, Instrument 2026000228957, adds 118 lots, for 565 platted lots in all, and a Phase III notice was recorded October 5, 2026 as Instrument 2026000257221. Phase Two had no homes on the county file through the September 2026 roll.
How big will Valencia Harbor be?
The planned home count varies by source. The association's management company describes Valencia Harbor as planned for about 986 homes, while Lee County's zoning case records state different unit limits in different years, so we do not print a single cap. What the record does show: 565 lots platted so far, 95 single-family homes on the county file through the September 2026 roll, and about 200 homes on the Property Appraiser's current parcel layer on October 28, 2026, a count that includes homes still under construction.
Is Valencia Harbor a 55+ community?
Yes. Valencia Harbor is age restricted by a recorded instrument: the Amended and Restated Declaration of Covenants, Conditions and Restrictions, Lee County Instrument 2025000237791, recorded September 4, 2025, requires at least one occupant 55 or older per home, under the housing-for-older-persons structure of section 760.29 of the Florida Statutes. The builder's 55+ marketing describes the same community; the recorded declaration is the rule.
What the Valencia Harbor declaration requires
Article X, Section 2 of the recorded declaration sets the age rule: at least one occupant of each home must be 55 or older. The same section lets up to 20 percent of homes be occupied only by persons under 55, at the board's discretion, and directs the board to register the community with the Florida Commission on Human Relations under section 760.29. The declaration runs 139 pages and is recorded in the Lee County Official Records.
The 80 percent rule under Florida law
Section 760.29 of the Florida Statutes exempts housing for older persons from the familial-status rules of the Florida Fair Housing Act when at least 80 percent of the occupied units have at least one occupant 55 or older and the community publishes and follows policies showing that intent. Valencia Harbor's declaration is written to that structure, which is why it reads "at least one occupant per home" rather than "every resident."
Age verification at sale and lease
The declaration requires an age-verification form before any sale or lease. The association's management company runs the purchase and lease application for each sale and each lease, so a buyer should expect the application and the age verification to be part of the closing timeline, alongside the estoppel certificate.
Leasing and resale rules
Leasing and resale rules are in the recorded declaration and in the estoppel and application package from the management company, not on any public web page we can treat as final. Read Article X of the declaration and the current rules before you rely on a rental plan, and ask for the estoppel certificate, which states the account balance and the association's current requirements for the exact home. The management company describes pets as limited to common domesticated household pets, with breed restrictions.
Who decides changes to the rules
GL Homes' land entity, Lee County Homes Associates I, LLLP, is the developer on the recorded documents and still holds lots and homes on the county roll. Under the declaration, a special assessment needs the approval of two thirds of all members unless an exception applies. Exterior changes need approval from the Architectural Control Committee or the board, per the management company.
Is Valencia Harbor gated?
Yes. Valencia Harbor has a gated entry, and GL Homes describes a 24-hour staffed guard house at a multimillion-dollar entry feature (builder post, September 2026). The builder reported the entry "almost complete" in June 2025. Gate operating rules for guests, vendors and deliveries sit in the association's rules, not in builder marketing, so confirm them with the management company.
Who manages Valencia Harbor?
The Valencia Harbor Homeowners Association is managed by GRS Community Management, 3900 Woodlake Boulevard, Suite 309, Lake Worth, FL 33463, which handles assessments, estoppel certificates and the purchase and lease applications. The board meets at its own discretion, per the management company's page. GL Homes says a full-time Lifestyle Director plans the community calendar.
The association's name history
The association was filed with the Florida Division of Corporations on May 9, 2024 as Buckingham 345 Homeowners Association, Inc. and renamed Valencia Harbor Homeowners Association on February 18, 2025. That is why older county and state records, and the first plat, carry the Buckingham 345 name.
What does it cost to own in Valencia Harbor?
Valencia Harbor ownership costs stack in two published layers and one unpublished one: property tax at the unincorporated Lee County rate for taxing district 066, no community development district assessment, and a homeowners association assessment billed quarterly whose dollar amount is not published by the association. We print only figures with a dated first-party source. Data updated: October 2026.
| Cost layer | Amount | Period and source |
|---|---|---|
| Property tax, district 066 (Fort Myers Shores) | 13.6123 mills, $1,361.23 per $100,000 of taxable value | 2026 Lee County millage book, printed October 9, 2026 |
| Community development district | None found | Builder statement; county taxing-district tables |
| Homeowners association assessment | Not published; billed quarterly, due January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 | GRS Community Management, read October 28, 2026 |
| Capital contribution or transfer fee at purchase | Not found in the declaration's table of contents | Confirm on the estoppel certificate and purchase contract |
| Special assessments | Need two thirds of all members unless an exception applies | Recorded declaration, Instrument 2025000237791 |
Valencia Harbor HOA fees
The association's management company publishes the billing schedule, not the amount: assessments are due quarterly on January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, and are late after the 15th of the first month of each quarter. No first-party dollar figure for Valencia Harbor HOA fees was published in any source we read on October 28, 2026. The figure belongs in the association's adopted budget and on the estoppel certificate for the exact home, so ask for both before you sign.
Why the dues figure is a document, not a number
The recorded declaration charges individual lot assessments at a 20 to 1 ratio for completed lots against incomplete lots, so the share each finished home pays depends on how many lots are finished in the budget year. That is a structural reason a figure from one year may not hold the next while Valencia Harbor builds out. The estoppel certificate, which the management company issues, states the current assessment, any balance and any fees due at closing.
No CDD at Valencia Harbor
No community development district was found for Valencia Harbor. GL Homes states there is no CDD fee, the Lee County taxing-district build-up for the parcels shows only county, fire, hazard, hyacinth-control and lighting authorities, and the Clerk name search showed no CDD instruments. Check the title commitment and the tax bill for any non-ad valorem line before closing.
Property taxes in taxing district 066
Every Valencia Harbor home is in Lee County taxing district 066, Fort Myers Shores, in unincorporated Lee County. The 2026 total is 13.6123 mills, up 0.1998 mill from the 2025 total of 13.4125. Each $100,000 of taxable value costs $1,361.23 at the 2026 rate. The 2025 components the Property Appraiser published for district 066 are shown below; the 2026 total comes from the 2026 millage book.
| Taxing authority, district 066 | 2025 mills |
|---|---|
| Lee County general revenue | 3.7623 |
| Lee County Unincorporated MSTU | 0.8398 |
| Fort Myers Shores Fire District | 2.5000 |

A worked yearly tax example
Take a Valencia Harbor home bought at the county's 12-month median of $490,202 and assume, for the arithmetic only, a taxable value equal to that price. Property tax at 13.6123 mills is $6,672.78 a year. On the 2026 roll's median taxable value of $429,991, the same rate gives $5,853.17. Add the association assessment from the estoppel certificate to either figure; there is no CDD line to add.
| Line | Yearly amount |
|---|---|
| Property tax on $490,202 ($490,202 x 13.6123 / 1,000) | $6,672.78 |
| Property tax on $429,991, the 2026 roll median taxable value ($429,991 x 13.6123 / 1,000) | $5,853.17 |
| Community development district | $0 (none found) |
| Homeowners association | from the estoppel certificate (not published) |
Exemptions change the taxable value, so run this with the exact home's tax bill. Under Florida law, a homestead exemption takes $25,000 off the taxable value for all levies and a second $25,000 off for levies other than school taxes, and the Save Our Homes cap starts from the value set after a purchase. The Lee County Tax Collector discounts bills paid early: 4 percent in November, 3 percent in December, 2 percent in January and 1 percent in February.
What the builder includes in the base price
GL Homes' September 2026 post lists stainless steel appliances, quartz or granite countertops, oversized ceramic tile flooring, impact-resistant windows, a screened and covered patio, and front and rear yard maintenance among the features included at Valencia Harbor. Those are builder statements; the recorded declaration and the association budget decide what the association actually maintains, so read both.
What amenities does Valencia Harbor have?
Valencia Harbor's amenities are being delivered in phases. The Community Center has been open since March 2026 (builder announcement), while the 33,000 square foot Harbor Club clubhouse and the Al Fresco Sports and Racquet Club are under construction, and as of October 2026 the builder had published no opening date for either. A 24-hour staffed gatehouse and a full-time Lifestyle Director are in place, per the builder.
| Amenity | Status, October 28, 2026 | Builder source and date |
|---|---|---|
| Community Center (fitness center, social hub, homeowner clubs) | Open | "Community Center Now Open!", March 2026 |
| Harbor Club clubhouse, 33,000 sq ft, on a 10+ acre recreation site | Under construction, no published opening date | Lifestyle page and update, October 2026 |
| Al Fresco Sports and Racquet Club and Pro Shop | Under construction, no published opening date | Groundbreaking April 9, 2026; update October 2026 |

The Community Center
The Community Center opened in March 2026 as Valencia Harbor's first amenity building. GL Homes' announcement describes a fitness center and a social hub hosting art classes, poker, happy hours, themed parties and homeowner clubs. Its January 2026 plan listed a 24-hour fitness studio, a sports lounge, pool and ping pong, meeting and lecture space, a patio lounge and an outdoor event plaza.
The Harbor Club clubhouse
The Harbor Club is the main clubhouse, described by GL Homes as a 33,000 square foot building on a 10+ acre recreational site. The builder's August 2026 plan lists resort-style pools, a fitness center, a full-service restaurant and poolside bar, a grand social hall, a sports lounge, a card salon and an arts and crafts room. As of the October 2026 builder post it was under construction, with no published opening date.
The Sports and Racquet Club
GL Homes broke ground on the Al Fresco Sports and Racquet Club on April 9, 2026. The builder's releases of March 7, 2025 and April 9, 2026 describe 12 pickleball courts, four tennis courts, bocce courts, a racquet sports pro shop, a lap pool with shaded cabanas, an event lawn, a food truck plaza and a dog park. The April release said the club was expected to open later in 2026; the builder's October 2026 post reports "incredible progress" on the Racquet Club and Pro Shop without a date, so treat it as under construction with no published opening date.
Lakes and water features
Valencia Harbor's lakes are stormwater lakes inside a permitted surface water management system, and the county roll tags 37 of the 95 recorded homes as lake lots. The "Harbor," "Marina" and "Bayside" names are marketing: no marina, boat dock or boating access is published, and no lake-use rights for fishing or swimming were found in the sources we read. The 2024 county zoning amendment lets accessory structures sit at a 0-foot rear setback on lots that abut a lake maintenance easement or open space.
Homeowner activities
GL Homes says a full-time Lifestyle Director plans the calendar, and the builder's posts describe homeowner clubs, classes and outings to local spots such as the Edison and Ford Winter Estates and Hertz Arena. The builder also runs a "Stay and Play" trial stay for prospective buyers, a promotion whose terms change, so ask the sales center for the current offer.
Is Valencia Harbor in a flood zone?
Valencia Harbor sits outside FEMA's special flood hazard area on the current map. A full census of all 563 Valencia Harbor lot and home points on FEMA's National Flood Hazard Layer, run October 28, 2026, put every point in Zone X and none in an A or V zone, on Lee County panel 12071C0303G, effective November 17, 2022. Lenders can still require flood insurance, so confirm the exact lot.
Shaded and unshaded Zone X
FEMA splits Zone X into two subtypes. In Plat One, 273 of the 445 lot and home points sit in the shaded subtype, the 0.2 percent annual chance flood hazard area in the coastal zone, and 172 in the area of minimal flood hazard; among the 200 built or under-roof homes on the parcel layer, 164 are shaded and 36 unshaded. All 118 Phase Two lots are in the area of minimal flood hazard. A separate 60-parcel screen of the 95 county-roll homes found 52 shaded and 8 unshaded, consistent with the census.
FEMA panel and map changes
Valencia Harbor sits on FEMA flood insurance rate map panel 12071C0303G, a countywide panel effective November 17, 2022, and no letter of map revision crosses the community's center point. FEMA's layer publishes no base flood elevation here, because no lot is in an A zone. Lee County reports that new FEMA maps take effect March 2, 2027, so check the exact address again at the FEMA Flood Map Service Center before you buy.
Valencia Harbor hurricane evacuation zones
Lee County's evacuation layer, queried October 28, 2026, places most of Plat One in Evacuation Zone B (399 of 445 lot and home points) with a northeastern edge in Zone C (46), and all 118 Phase Two lots in Zone C. Of the 200 built or under-roof homes, 197 are in Zone B and 3 in Zone C. Lee County names zones A to E by storm surge risk, with Zone A evacuated first; an evacuation order is issued storm by storm.
Ground elevation and site permits
USGS 3DEP terrain data puts ground in Valencia Harbor at about 9.8 to 14.2 feet across 60 random points: 9.8 to 13.5 feet in Plat One and 12.5 to 14.2 feet in Phase Two. Those are bare-earth readings that may predate final grading, not finished-floor elevations. The South Florida Water Management District permit record shows two permits for the site, 36-103963-P and 36-106680-P, the second covering 330.96 acres. Finished-floor elevations are not public in a form we could read, so ask for the elevation certificate.
Storm history around Valencia Harbor
Valencia Harbor's homes are too new to have a storm record of their own: the first plat was recorded July 18, 2024 and the first home sales recorded in September 2025, after Hurricane Ian (September 2022) and Hurricane Milton (October 2024). The wider Orange River drainage area that serves Buckingham and Lehigh Acres flooded during Hurricane Irma in 2017, as local news reported in August 2026; that history is regional, and FEMA maps every Valencia Harbor point in Zone X.
Insurance notes for Valencia Harbor buyers
Every Valencia Harbor home is new construction built under the current Florida Building Code, and GL Homes lists impact-resistant windows among its standard features (September 2026). Insurers price wind coverage from the home's permit date and a wind mitigation inspection, and flood coverage from the zone and an elevation certificate, so get quotes on the exact address before you commit. We do not print premium figures, because no primary source publishes them.
Healthcare and schools near Valencia Harbor
Three Lee Health acute care hospitals serve Valencia Harbor from 10.2 to 17.1 straight-line miles away: Lee Memorial Hospital near downtown Fort Myers, Gulf Coast Medical Center, a Level II trauma center, and HealthPark Medical Center. Straight-line miles are shorter than any drive, and the community is in the Fort Myers Shores Fire District for emergency response.
| Hospital (Lee Health) | Address | Straight-line miles from the community |
|---|---|---|
| Lee Memorial Hospital | 2776 Cleveland Ave, Fort Myers | 10.2 |
| Gulf Coast Medical Center, Level II trauma center | 13681 Doctor's Way, Fort Myers | 12.7 |
| HealthPark Medical Center | 9981 S HealthPark Dr, Fort Myers 33908 | 17.1 |
Source: Lee Health locations; straight-line miles measured October 28, 2026 from the median point of the community's parcels using OpenStreetMap geocodes.
Gulf Coast Medical Center
Lee Health describes Gulf Coast Medical Center as the largest hospital in its system and a Level II trauma center, with an emergency department that includes trauma bays and fast-track rooms. It is 12.7 straight-line miles from the community's center point.
Lee Memorial Hospital and HealthPark
Lee Memorial Hospital, on Cleveland Avenue near downtown Fort Myers, is the closest of the three at 10.2 straight-line miles, and the builder's own estimate puts it about 13 minutes away. HealthPark Medical Center, in south Fort Myers, is 17.1 straight-line miles away. We give no ambulance response times; the Fort Myers Shores Fire District and Lee County EMS hold those figures.
Schools and the reserved school site
School zones and school grades were not part of this page's research, and Valencia Harbor's recorded declaration sets its 55+ rule, so check any address in the School District of Lee County's zone tool if you need it for resale research. One school fact is in the county record: the 13.18-acre "School Site Reserved Area" inside the planned development is being converted to residential use by Lee County case ADD2025-00151, so no public school is planned on the site under that case.
Where is Valencia Harbor?
Valencia Harbor is on Buckingham Road, south of State Road 80 (Palm Beach Boulevard), east of I-75 in unincorporated Lee County, with a Fort Myers, FL 33905 mailing address. GL Homes' sales center is at 3534 Primrose Hill Way. The builder gives the drive from I-75 exit 141 as about 2.3 miles east on SR 80 and 2.9 miles on Buckingham Road, about 5.2 road miles. Data updated: October 2026.

Source: straight-line miles from the median point of Valencia Harbor's parcels, OpenStreetMap geocodes, measured October 28, 2026. Straight-line figures are shorter than any drive; season and road work add time.
The builder's drive-time claims
GL Homes publishes its own drive times from Valencia Harbor, and they are the builder's estimates, not measurements: a Publix under 5 minutes, Manatee Park about 5, The Forum Shops about 10, Lowe's about 12, Lee Memorial Hospital about 13, JetBlue Park about 15, Gulf Coast Town Center and Costco about 20, downtown Fort Myers about 25 (March 2025 release) and Sanibel Island beaches about 30. Traffic and season change every one of them.
Is Valencia Harbor in the City of Fort Myers?
No. Valencia Harbor is in unincorporated Lee County. County parcel fields show municipality code L, Residential Planned Development (RPD) zoning and the Fort Myers Shores Fire District, taxing district 066, on the community's parcels. Fort Myers is the postal city for ZIP 33905, not the jurisdiction, so Lee County handles zoning, permits and county roads, and FDOT maintains State Road 80.
What is changing near Valencia Harbor
FDOT finished resurfacing State Road 80 from Buckingham Road to the Hendry County line on October 17, 2025 (project 446292-1, 9.538 miles, a $19.7 million construction cost), with shoulder widening, turnouts, guardrail, drainage and signal technology work. Lee County's zoning records within about a mile show neighboring residential planned developments in build-out or amendment: River Hall (about 0.8 mile), Portico (about 0.75 mile, amended to a maximum of 1,600 dwelling units in 2019), Hemingway Pointe (about 0.8 mile) and Oak View (about 0.5 mile). No commercial rezoning or road widening is pending within about a mile in the county data.
Valencia Harbor's own zoning actions
The planned development has been amended several times since Lee County adopted Resolution Z-21-002 on April 15, 2021: buffer corrections in 2021, a revised master concept plan in May 2023, reduced street setbacks and a reconfigured north lake in July 2024 (ADD2024-00081), private clubs and recreation added to the schedule of uses in April 2025 (ADD2025-00043), and ADD2025-00151, which converts the reserved school site to residential with "no increase in maximum units."
Not to be confused with other Valencia communities
Valencia Harbor is GL Homes' only Valencia community in Fort Myers. Valencia Bonita is a different GL Homes community in Bonita Springs, Valencia Trails and Valencia Sky are in the Naples area, Valencia Walk is at Riverland in Port St. Lucie, Valencia Del Mar and Valencia Grand are in Boynton Beach, and Valencia Ridge is in Wesley Chapel. Each has its own declaration, association and prices, and none of their figures appears on this page.
How Valencia Harbor compares with nearby communities
Valencia Harbor is the newest of these three Fort Myers communities and, with Pelican Preserve, one of two whose recorded documents set a 55+ rule; it is the only one whose county sales are all builder first sales. The table compares Pelican Preserve homes for sale and Verandah homes for sale, which shares Valencia Harbor's 33905 corridor, on one yardstick: Lee County qualified sales over the same 12 months. Data updated: October 2026.

How to read the comparison table
The three counts use each community's plat names on the county roll, so they can differ from association or builder totals. Valencia Harbor's 95 homes are the ones on the county file through the September 2026 roll; the Property Appraiser's live parcel layer showed about 200 homes, including homes under construction, on October 28, 2026. Valencia Harbor's median is a new-construction median with options and lot premiums inside it, while Pelican Preserve's 159 sales were all resales, so the medians measure different kinds of sale. Verandah's age row covers its 2002 master declaration only.
The history of Valencia Harbor
Valencia Harbor began as Buckingham 345, a 345-acre residential planned development that Lee County approved under Resolution Z-21-002 on April 15, 2021 for Lee County Homes Associates I, LLLP. Plat One was recorded July 18, 2024, GL Homes opened its models on March 8, 2025, the declaration was amended and restated on September 4, 2025, and the first home sales recorded that September.
Buckingham 345 and the 2021 zoning
Lee County zoning case DCI2020-00010 amended a 345-acre residential planned development on Buckingham Road for Lee County Homes Associates I, LLLP, the land entity on Valencia Harbor's records, and the Board of County Commissioners adopted it as Resolution Z-21-002 on April 15, 2021. A South Florida Water Management District wetland determination for the 344.7-acre site, permit 36-103963-P, was issued September 3, 2020.
Plats, the association and the launch
The association was filed as Buckingham 345 Homeowners Association, Inc. on May 9, 2024. Plat One followed on July 18, 2024 (Instrument 2024000202847, 447 lots). The association took the Valencia Harbor name on February 18, 2025, GL Homes announced the launch on March 7, 2025 with nine models and a grand opening the next day, and the Amended and Restated Declaration with the 55+ article was recorded September 4, 2025.
The build years so far
The county file shows 44 builder first sales in 2025 and 32 in 2026 through the latest index, with the Community Center opening in March 2026, the Racquet Club groundbreaking on April 9, 2026, the Phase Two plat (Instrument 2026000228957, 118 lots) and a Phase III notice recorded October 5, 2026. The Harbor Club clubhouse and the Racquet Club were under construction in October 2026.
GL Homes, the builder
GL Homes is a privately held Florida homebuilder founded in 1976 and based in Sunrise, Florida, and it names its 55+ communities under the Valencia brand. The March 2025 launch release quoted Misha Ezratti as president.

Thinking of selling a Valencia Harbor home?
Valencia Harbor owners selling the community's first resales will compete with GL Homes' own new and early move-in homes, so a listing priced against the recorded sales on its own street and plan holds up better than one priced against the community median.

Frequently Asked Questions about Valencia Harbor homes for sale
These are the questions Valencia Harbor buyers ask most, answered from the Lee County record, the recorded Amended and Restated Declaration, the builder's dated pages, the management company's published schedule, FEMA's flood map and Lee County's evacuation layer. Each answer carries the same dates as the sections above, so every figure can be checked against its source below.
Is Valencia Harbor a 55+ community?
Yes. The Amended and Restated Declaration, recorded in Lee County as Instrument 2025000237791 on September 4, 2025, requires at least one occupant 55 or older per home. Up to 20 percent of homes may be occupied only by persons under 55 at the board's discretion, the structure section 760.29 of the Florida Statutes allows.
Where is Valencia Harbor in Fort Myers?
Valencia Harbor is on Buckingham Road, south of State Road 80 and east of I-75, in unincorporated Lee County with a Fort Myers, FL 33905 mailing address. The GL Homes sales center is at 3534 Primrose Hill Way, and the builder gives the drive from I-75 exit 141 as about 5.2 road miles.
What is the median home price in Valencia Harbor?
$490,202 on the Lee County record, across 75 qualified sales in the 12 months through September 25, 2026, from $345,400 to $955,057. All 75 were builder first sales of homes built in 2025. The 24-month median was $492,884 on 76 sales, and no resale had recorded yet.
How much are new homes at Valencia Harbor?
GL Homes lists 16 floor plans from $352,900 for the Montserrat to $600,900 for the Bahama, seen October 28, 2026. Shoreline plans start in the $350s, Marina in the $420s and Bayside in the $550s. Early move-in homes start higher, from $378,900 to $751,900, and options and lot premiums add to base prices.
Why do recorded prices run above the builder's base prices?
The county records the final price, and options and lot premiums add to a base price. Valencia Harbor's $490,202 county median sits $137,302 above the $352,900 entry base, and the $955,057 top sale sits $354,157 above the $600,900 Bahama base. The gap on any one home depends on that buyer's choices.
How many homes are in Valencia Harbor?
The Lee County file counts 95 single-family homes through its September 2026 roll, and the Property Appraiser's current parcel layer showed about 200 homes, including homes under construction, on October 28, 2026. 565 lots are platted, and the association's management company cites about 986 planned homes; other records state different totals.
What are the HOA fees at Valencia Harbor?
No first-party dollar amount is published. GRS Community Management bills Valencia Harbor's assessments quarterly, due January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1, with payment late after the 15th of the first month. Ask for the adopted budget and an estoppel certificate, which state the current assessment for the exact home.
Does Valencia Harbor have a CDD?
No community development district was found. GL Homes states there is no CDD fee, the Lee County taxing-district build-up for Valencia Harbor's parcels lists only county, fire, hazard, hyacinth-control and lighting authorities, and a Clerk name search showed no CDD instruments. Confirm on the title commitment and the tax bill before closing.
What is the property tax rate in Valencia Harbor?
Valencia Harbor is in Lee County taxing district 066, Fort Myers Shores, in unincorporated Lee County, at 13.6123 mills for 2026, or $1,361.23 per $100,000 of taxable value. That is up from 13.4125 mills in 2025. On the $490,202 county median before exemptions, the 2026 rate comes to $6,672.78 a year.
Is there a capital contribution or transfer fee at Valencia Harbor?
None was found. The declaration's table of contents shows no capital contribution or transfer fee article, and the builder's marketing mentions none. That does not rule one out: the estoppel certificate, the purchase contract's association rider and the budget are the documents that would state it, so ask for all three before closing.
Is Valencia Harbor in the City of Fort Myers?
No. County parcel fields place Valencia Harbor in unincorporated Lee County, with Residential Planned Development zoning and the Fort Myers Shores Fire District, taxing district 066. Fort Myers is only the postal city for ZIP 33905. Lee County handles zoning, permits and county roads, and FDOT maintains State Road 80 nearby.
What ZIP code is Valencia Harbor?
Every Valencia Harbor home on the Lee County roll is in ZIP 33905, with Fort Myers as the mailing city. The GL Homes sales center is at 3534 Primrose Hill Way, Fort Myers, FL 33905. ZIP 33905 also covers Verandah and other east Fort Myers communities, so search by community name.
Is Valencia Harbor gated?
Yes. GL Homes describes a 24-hour staffed guard house at a multimillion-dollar entry feature in its September 2026 post, and reported the entry "almost complete" in June 2025. Rules for guests, vendors and deliveries sit with the association and its management company, so confirm them in the association's rules before you rely on them.
Who manages Valencia Harbor?
GRS Community Management, 3900 Woodlake Boulevard, Suite 309, Lake Worth, FL 33463, manages the Valencia Harbor Homeowners Association. It bills the quarterly assessments, issues estoppel certificates and runs the purchase and lease applications. The board meets at its own discretion, and GL Homes says a full-time Lifestyle Director plans the calendar.
Who builds Valencia Harbor?
GL Homes, a privately held Florida homebuilder founded in 1976 and based in Sunrise, builds Valencia Harbor. The land entity on the county records is Lee County Homes Associates I, LLLP, which was also the 2021 zoning applicant. GL Homes launched sales on March 7, 2025 and opened its models the next day.
Is GL Homes a good builder?
We do not rank builders. GL Homes is privately held, founded in 1976 and based in Sunrise, and builds 55+ communities across Florida under the Valencia name. Check the builder's license on the state license portal, read the written warranty in the purchase contract and hire your own inspector during construction.
Can I rent out a home in Valencia Harbor?
Leasing is governed by the recorded declaration and the association's current rules, and every lease needs an application and age verification through the management company. Read Article X of the declaration and the rules, and ask for the estoppel package, before you plan a rental; lease terms can change by amendment.
Can people under 55 live in Valencia Harbor?
The declaration's rule is per home, not per resident: at least one occupant of each home must be 55 or older. It also lets up to 20 percent of homes be occupied only by persons under 55, at the board's discretion. Every sale and lease needs an age-verification form under Article X, Section 2.
What is the 80/20 rule in a 55+ community?
Florida's housing-for-older-persons exemption in section 760.29 of the Florida Statutes requires at least 80 percent of occupied units to have at least one occupant 55 or older, with policies showing that intent. Valencia Harbor's declaration follows that structure and lets the board allow up to 20 percent of homes without a 55+ occupant.
Is Valencia Harbor in a flood zone?
FEMA maps Valencia Harbor in Zone X. A census of all 563 lot and home points on FEMA's flood layer, run October 28, 2026, found every point in Zone X and none in a special flood hazard area, on panel 12071C0303G, effective November 17, 2022. Lenders may still require coverage, so check the exact lot.
