Palencia is a gated residential community in Venice, Florida, located near the intersection of Jacaranda Boulevard and Border Road in the 34292 ZIP code. Developed by D.R. Horton, the neighborhood features a combination of single-family homes and paired villas along with lakes, walking areas, and a central amenity center.
With 203 residences, Palencia is smaller than many of the large master-planned communities found throughout the Venice area. Its convenient North Venice location, maintenance-assisted lifestyle, newer homes, community amenities, and absence of a Community Development District (CDD) fee make it worth considering for buyers looking for newer construction or resale homes without the scale of a large resort community.
Homes & Villas in Palencia
Palencia contains 203 residences consisting of approximately 81 detached single-family homes and 122 paired villas. D.R. Horton developed the neighborhood primarily during the early 2020s, giving buyers a selection of relatively newer homes in an established community setting.
The paired villas generally offer approximately 1,500 square feet of living space with two bedrooms, a den, two bathrooms, a two-car garage, and screened outdoor living areas. Detached single-family homes provide larger floor plans, with original D.R. Horton designs extending to more than 2,200 square feet.
Depending on the floor plan and property, features may include open-concept living areas, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, soft-close cabinetry, tray ceilings, smart-home technology, spacious primary suites, screened lanais, impact-resistant windows, and two- or three-car garage configurations.
Many homes are positioned around community lakes, preserve areas, or landscaped open spaces. Because Palencia is now an established neighborhood, buyers should compare individual properties carefully since upgrades, hurricane protection, outdoor living areas, pools, and interior finishes vary from home to home.
