West Boynton’s Farmland Is Disappearing… And This Project Is Just the Latest Sign
They’re Adding 518 More Homes to West Boynton… But Can The Roads Handle It?
Valencia Del Mar is rising quickly along Lyons Road near Boynton Beach Boulevard, and it’s already giving West Boynton a very different look. The new gated GL Homes community is expected to bring about 518 luxury 55+ homes, with the first residents projected to move in by June 2026. This is not a quiet little retirement village either. Valencia Del Mar is being built as a full resort-style community, with plans for a 43,000-square-foot clubhouse, pools, fitness center, pickleball and tennis courts, dining, classes, and social spaces.
Homes are expected to range from about $1.2 million to nearly $2 million. But for residents, the real issue is bigger than one development. West Boynton’s open land is steadily turning into large luxury communities, bringing more people, more cars, and more pressure on already busy roads. The question now is simple: how much more growth can West Boynton realistically handle?
Ford’s Garage Is Bringing Its Vintage Vibe to Boynton Beach
A popular burger and craft beer chain is getting closer to opening its first Boynton Beach location near the Boynton Beach Mall. Ford’s Garage is under construction at 365 N. Congress Avenue, bringing its vintage automotive-themed restaurant concept to one of the city’s busiest commercial corridors.
Known for its 1920s service-station décor, classic Ford memorabilia, Black Angus burgers, craft beer selection, and nostalgic garage-style atmosphere, Ford’s Garage already has several South Florida locations - and Boynton Beach is next.
The new restaurant is more than just another place to grab a burger. Its arrival signals continued momentum around the Congress Avenue and mall district, where city leaders and developers have been pushing for more dining, entertainment, and mixed-use activity. As the area continues to evolve, Ford’s Garage could become a new draw for residents and visitors alike. For opening updates, visit fordsgarageusa.com.

Lamar Jackson To Be Honored By Boynton Beach
Boynton Beach honored Hometown football star Lamar Jackson by retiring his high school jersey on May 15th, recognizing him as one of the city’s greatest athletic success stories. Jackson, a former standout at Boynton Beach High School, went on to become a Heisman Trophy winner and an NFL most valuable player with the Baltimore Ravens. School officials say the jersey retirement celebrates both his achievements on the field and the pride he has brought to Boynton Beach nationally. Jackson remains one of the most accomplished athletes ever to come out of Palm Beach County.
🤔 Did You Know?
According to recent U.S. Census estimates, nearly 3,700 veterans live within Boynton Beach city limits - and that number grows even higher when including unincorporated Boynton. Fittingly, the city’s namesake, Major Nathan Smith Boynton, was a Civil War veteran. Boynton may not be known as a military town, but thousands of residents here have served from Vietnam to Iraq, Afghanistan, and beyond. The Boynton Weekly honors their service, sacrifice, and the freedoms they helped protect.
