When you move into a master planned community, you’re gaining more than just wonderful neighbors. Master planned communities, in a way, provide much of what the city offers, but with even more mixed in.
Choosing where you’re going to settle down, whether it’s to start a new family or downsize after your children have started families of their own, is a big deal. You want to consider what unique experiences, conveniences, and amenities a location can offer you. Out of many real estate options, it seems like master planned communities often provide more benefits than others.
Let’s get into the weeds of master planned communities and why they’re ultimately one of the best choices for potential homeowners.
A master planned community isn’t just a neighborhood, it goes far beyond that. Most of the time, neighborhoods are built first and then other needs (schools, parks, stores, are added) built up around them as an afterthought. However, master planned neighborhoods are different—they’re created to have these two sides of the community developed in harmony.
These communities hold the unique quality of being planned. Instead of businesses popping up at random, often in an inconvenient spot, the businesses and amenities have a natural flow to them. Unlike other neighborhoods, you don’t have to worry about the surrounding area changing much since it’s all planned before they even begin construction. As you’ll read below, this forethought in development makes life in a master planned community a whole lot smoother.
When you move into a master planned community, you’re gaining more than just wonderful neighbors. Master planned communities, in a way, provide much of what the city offers, but with even more mixed in. Many of these communities are built around one central feature, such as a golf course or lake.
Harvest by Hillwood has several focal points and amenities in the community. A few highlights include:
Master planned communities are typically farther from commercial and industrial areas, meaning there’s less through-traffic. In addition less traffic, some master planned communities are gated, others offer security patrols, and many include technology and security systems. Ask your homebuilder what security features they offer in their homes and ask your homeowners association about other safety features may be in place..
When people think of planned neighborhoods, they often think of cookie-cutter houses lined up next to one another—a classic picture of boring suburbia. However, in most master planned communities, that’s very rarely the case.
Specifically at Harvest, our homes vary in color, size, roofing, landscaping—countless customizable details to make your house feel like your unique home in the community. Even our homes, which are already built and vacant, tend to vary widely.
We do this because we know people don’t all have the same taste. We’re all different and we want to support that individuality in our neighborhoods.
We didn’t throw a dart at a map of Texas and randomly choose where to locate Harvest, it was intentional. Homeowners have easy access to renowned schools, leading employers, multiple health centers, and tons of dining and entertainment options because we very carefully chose a central location.
Eventually, Harvest will have 120 acres of shopping, dining, and more right within the community. There are two on-site elementary schools that serve not just Harvest, but the surrounding acclaimed Argyle and Northwest ISDs. Our planned neighborhood was built to be an accessible, enriching, and convenient place—and will only continue to improve with time.
