Pet Friendly Communities Homes and Villas

 If you’re looking for a top pet friendly 55+ community in Palm Beach County, Florida and having a hard time finding one, here is my help. It can be a annoying task digging through listings to find a 55+ pet-friendly community

What do I mean by pet-friendly communities? 

Won’t every community take dogs?  Unfortunately, the answer is NO.  

Most of 55+ communities have pet restrictions.  

If you’re a dog person like me, please don’t go online and fall in love with a house until you’ve fully checked out their pet restrictions.

The following communities are located near shopping, grocery stores, restaurants, houses of worship, highways, medical facilities and more.

THE VALENCIAS

It is probably the most recognizable by name, of the 55+ dog-friendly communities in Delray, Boynton Beach and Lake Worth.  Currently, there are 10 Valencia communities:  Valencia Lakes, Valencia Isles, Valencia Shores, Valencia Falls, Valencia Palms, Valencia Pointe Valencia Reserve, Valencia Cove, Valencia Bay and Valencia Sound.  

 The Valencias have beautiful clubhouses overlooking lakes with fitness centers, pools, restaurants, shows, clubs, cards, tennis, pickle ball, tennis courts  and much more.   

The Valencias have winding paths that can be used for walking, riding bikes or walking your dog. 

The Valencias are all pet friendly, but pet restrictions can and do vary between the different communities. Some have the original pet restrictions and some were changed by homeowner’s associations through the years.  Don’t forget to check the pet restrictions for the community you are interested in!

TIVOLI

 Tivoli is another pet friendly 55+ community in Delray Beach and Boynton Beach.  There is Tivoli Reserve and Tivoli Lakes in Boynton Beach, and Four Seasons in Delray Beach (originally Tivoli Isles.)

 Active adult communities of Tivoli tend to be a bit smaller and more low key than the Valencias.  There are still plenty of amenities; clubs, activities, tennis, fitness center shows and more to keep you busy.  

 CASCADES

 Cascades  is a 55+ dog and cat-friendly community. This pet-friendly community is centrally located in Boynton Beach and has a lot of activities to keep you as busy as you want or not.  Cascades has a clubhouse with amenities including, tennis, fitness center, clubs, trips, shows, a restaurant and more.

Cascades has single family homes – some smaller and some larger, but all are cat and dog friendly.  It’s a fairly large community with close to 1,000 homes, yet it does not seem crowded.  All of the homes are single story within a guard-gated entrance.

 CASCADE LAKES

 The sister community to Cascades is Cascade Lakes, a more intimate 55+ dog friendly community.  And the pet restrictions are different.

Cascade Lakes in Boynton Beach is pet friendly but not as pet friendly as some of the other 55+  communities.  Cascade Lakes is smaller than Cascades.  They have an indoor/outdoor pool but no restaurant.  Amenities at Cascade Lakes include shows, clubs, arts and crafts, fitness, tennis and more.

 VENETIAN ISLES

IN SUMMARY

 The known fact is, that seniors love their pet just like their family. Pets help them with loneliness, provide companionship, aid in healing, bring smiles to faces, calm people down, and perform services.

Dogs get people out of the house.  They’re a reason for some seniors to get up and for go for walk in the morning.
