Misha Ezratti on How GL Homes is Meeting Florida’s Active Adult Housing Demand
SUNRISE, Fla. – Jul 28, 2026 – GL Homes, one of Florida’s largest privately owned homebuilders, has a prominent presence in the state’s active adult housing market. Led by President Misha Ezratti, the company is responding to growing demand for purpose-built 55+ communities designed around lifestyle, wellness and long-term livability.
Florida remains the largest 55+ housing market in the United States, driven by continued population growth and strong demand for age-restricted, lifestyle-focused communities. More than half of active adults nationally identify 55+ communities as their preferred housing choice, reflecting continued interest in amenity-driven living and long-term lifestyle planning.
At the same time, rising inventory has created more favorable conditions for buyers in many regions across the state, giving homebuyers more options as the market evolves.
Against this backdrop, GL Homes continues to focus on its active adult portfolio across Florida’s most in-demand markets, with a focus on pairing home design with large-scale lifestyle infrastructure.
In Boynton Beach, Valencia Del Mar reflects the company’s continued investment in South Florida’s active adult market. The community is designed around premium resort-style living, featuring wellness-focused amenities, social gathering spaces and outdoor recreation intended to encourage daily connection and activity.
Its location also places residents near shopping, dining and coastal destinations that support an active lifestyle beyond the community itself.
GL Homes designs these communities around intentional choices rather than industry defaults. Single-story floor plans, low-maintenance living options, wellness-focused amenities, lifestyle programming and social spaces are integrated into the experience to support how residents want to live both inside and outside the home.
Misha Ezratti’s GL Homes leadership is focused on building communities that reflect how people want to live today and in the future. That means creating environments where design, amenities and connection all work together, and where GL Homes teams continue to evolve how they deliver that experience.
Building on momentum from Riverland, GL Homes continues to expand its Valencia portfolio of active adult communities across Florida. In Port St. Lucie, the homebuilder recently introduced Valencia Vista at Riverland, the newest addition to its Valencia 55+ communities within the 4,000-acre Riverland master-planned development, joining established communities including Valencia Cay, Valencia Walk, Valencia Grove and Valencia Parc.
Valencia Vista builds on Riverland’s existing lifestyle infrastructure, which includes more than 100,000 square feet of resort-style amenities such as a 24-acre Sports & Racquet Club, a 51,000-square-foot Wellness & Fitness Center and a 5-acre Arts & Culture Center. The community is also connected by miles of pathways along the Paseo and greenway system, creating golf-cart-friendly access between residential neighborhoods, recreation spaces and everyday conveniences.
The new community will introduce an updated collection of home designs featuring enhanced floorplans, new elevations and upgraded standard features, along with access to an expanded clubhouse experience and additional amenities planned within the Riverland system.
