Orchard House
At the center of Valencia sits Orchard House, the community’s signature amenity destination designed to bring neighbors together and make everyday life feel like a getaway.
More than a clubhouse, Orchard House serves as the social heart of the community. Residents can gather with friends, host celebrations, enjoy casual afternoons by the water, or simply stop by to unwind after work. The amenity center is intentionally designed to support both active lifestyles and quiet moments of relaxation.
With inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, Orchard House quickly becomes an extension of home. This is a place where celebrations happen, friendships are formed, and summer memories are made.
Pool Days, Playgrounds, and Summer Evenings
No Texas summer is complete without a pool, and Valencia delivers one of the most beautiful amenity experiences in the area.
The community’s resort-style infinity-edge pool creates the perfect setting for cooling off on warm afternoons or relaxing beneath the shade of nearby cabanas. Families can spend entire weekends moving between the pool, playgrounds, and open green spaces without ever leaving the community.
Nearby, the event lawn provides space for neighborhood gatherings, outdoor games, and seasonal events that bring neighbors together throughout the year. Younger Valencia residents can burn off energy at The Peel, our orchard-themed playground, while adults can meet friends for a quick match on Valencia’s pickleball courts.
