What Is A Master-Planned Community?

For those who don’t know me, my name is Lynn Stringer. I am a Las Vegas real estate broker. Today, I’ll be discussing master-planned communities. Basically, a master-planned community is a thoughtfully designed residential development. Typically, they include many amenities and services, making for optimal lifestyle comfort. They are designed to provide all the necessary infrastructure and facilities, such as roads, parks, schools, shopping centers, and other essential elements. Property types usually include single-family homes, condominiums, townhouses, and apartments. Also to be found are swimming pools, fitness centers, playgrounds, and hiking/biking trails. Located in convenient, clean environments, typically found nearby will be highways, shopping centers, schools, hospitals, and other necessary services.

What Are The Benefits?

Convenience. Point blank, the main benefit of living in a master-planned community is ease of life. Residents can access essential services quickly while enjoying the comfort of a well-maintained neighborhood. Additionally, master-planned communities are designed with recreational amenities allowing for activities such as swimming, hiking, and playing sports.

How Are Master-Planned Communities Designed?

With the input of local planners, engineers, and architects. The developers of these communities will consider factors like location, environment, cultural heritage, and aesthetic design. Once the local government approves the development plan, builders can begin constructing the homes, roads, and other facilities. The goal is to create an environment that provides a high quality of life.

How Do I Choose The Right Community For Me?

It is essential to consider factors like location, amenities, cost of living, and the surrounding environment. Also, research the community developer and review their past projects to ensure they are reputable. Ultimately, you want to select a community that best matches your lifestyle. Do the research! And ask many questions.

Here Is What You Need To Know About Living In A Master-Planned Community

What Is The Cost Of Living Like?

It typically ranges from moderate to high. These communities are often more expensive than other neighborhoods due to their quality-of-life amenities. However, their convenience can be worth the extra cost. As an example residents of Summerlin love being able to head over to Downtown Summerlin to catch a baseball game at Las Vegas Ballpark.

What Are The Main Downsides?

For many, it’s all the rules. Since all the homes and amenities are typically part of one development, some people may find it too restrictive. Additionally, these communities’ living costs can be higher than other neighborhoods. The HOAs can be costly and strict. And while this is great for your neighborhood staying nice, some people dislike that they have rules about what they can and can’t do. On the flip side, this is what keeps neighborhoods so nice. In many cases raising property values faster than in non-masterplans.

What Is The Social Scene Like?

IMO, social is one of the best perks! Social scenes are typically very active. Many communities will host events, clubs, and activities that unite residents. Additionally, the amenities provided by these communities often offer many opportunities for socializing and recreation. Residents typically report having fun attending community events such as outdoor plays, concerts, and art fairs.
