Master–planned communities offer superb amenities and quality infrastructure such as neighborhood parks and schools, new roads, nearby shopping and dining, community services and neighbors that feel connected to one another. The newest trend in planned communities is ‘New Urbanism’ which features neighborhoods designed to encourage walking and which contain a diverse and balanced selection of housing and employment opportunities. Within a planned community there are often smaller communities offering a variety of home styles and price levels to choose from. An increasing number of planned developments incorporate a mix of single family homes, villas, apartments and town homes.
Lifestyle features such as golf courses, tennis courts, bike and walking trails are integrated with a wide range of home choices in master–planned communities. These carefully conceived communities are designed around the best use of the land’s contours and natural features, maximum access to views, compatibility of architectural design and styles, attention to personal safety and the ability of resident to move easily within the neighborhood. Master–planned developments typically provide comprehensive recreational opportunities into the final community design including community parks, playgrounds, clubhouses, swimming facilities and other highly desirable amenities.
One of the most important reasons for choosing to buy a home in a master–planned community is property value protection. The community’s architectural guidelines, amenity planning, and common area maintenance in conjunction with the property owners association can significantly affect property values and quality of life for residents.
Another benefit to planned communities is the focus on environment consciousness and preservation of the property’s native land. Home owners today appreciate environmental stewardship and recognize the value of a community that incorporates a thoughtful environmental approach in its planning and execution.
Increasingly popular, master–planned communities are ideal for those who enjoy the active lifestyle while remaining close to home.
