If you are in the market for a new home, you may want to consider buying in a planned community. As their name suggests, they are designed with a purpose in mind by experienced real estate developers. When you buy a home in one of these neighborhoods, you can be sure you are buying a home in a desirable location with much to offer. If you are still on the fence about where you should buy your next home, here are five reasons why you should move in now.

1. Live in a Great Location

Location is everything, and if you want a home in a desirable location, you should consider buying in one of these neighborhoods. Homes in planned communities are typically built in or near sought-after locations. These locations are often convenient to the best supermarkets, shopping centers, and schools. In some communities, it is even possible to walk to these places since they are in such proximity. In other words, if you desire a home in a community full of amenities, a home in a planned community may be just what you need.

2. Ensure Your Home Retains its Value

Unlike homes in other types of residential developments, homes in planned communities tend to retain their value over time. The home values in such neighborhoods remain stable because:

•   There are usually guidelines for homeowners to follow to ensure their homes remain well-kept.
•   Planned communities tend to have countless amenities. This ensures that residents actually want to live in the neighborhood.
•   The grounds are frequently maintained so the neighborhood maintains its visual appeal.

All of this ensures that homes retain their value and benefit from added curb appeal when the time to sell arrives.

3. Buy a High-Quality Home

Homes in planned communities are typically of high quality and developed by reputable contractors. If you want an expertly-crafted, beautiful home, you should definitely look into buying a home in a planned community.

4. Take in Scenic Views

How would you like a home that allowed you to take in scenic views and beautiful landscapes? Many planned communities incorporate playgrounds, parks, and walking/biking trails which are designed to make the area more visually appealing and desirable. Landscaping is typically well-maintained and streets are well-lit so you can feel comfortable in your home and community at night. If you are a lover of nature, seek out a community that incorporates a ton of green space.

5. Enjoy a Wealth of Amenities

The majority of planned communities offer residents a wealth of amenities such as walking/biking trails, tennis courts, swimming pools, exercise facilities, playgrounds, and picnic areas. These amenities are great for anyone who enjoys living an active, fast-paced lifestyle.
