What Is A Planned Community?
What exactly is a planned community? Wouldn't any neighborhood development or even downtown city complex be, in some sense, a "planned community"? Yes... and no. We use the term to specifically refer to a particular type of residential development that is becoming increasingly popular with new homebuyers in the United States. Unlike the sprawling surburbias of the past, these developments look back to the "good old days," when neighborhoods were friendly and held everything one needed--a community center, shops, recreational facilities, playgrounds...
Many a planned community is designed according to the precepts of New Urbanism, which designates that a certain amount of green space is preserved for parks, golf courses, and native habitat, and that a lively town center be the heart of a close-knit traditional neighborhood development.
Why Choose a Florida Planned Community?
As you begin your search for the right planned community, you will find that Florida is a haven of them. Also refered to as master-planned and private communities, these developments capitalize on the unique weather and habitat of Florida. Given the state's famously sunny, sub-tropical climate, the recreational amenities that a planned community offers--outdoor tennis courts, golf courses, outdoor swimming pools--can be used year-round.
For buyers looking for Florida oceanfront real estate, or homes along Florida's gulf coast, many find that a Florida planned community can provide a level of fine dining options and recreational amenities that they would otherwise not have easy access to. Some of Florida's most famous planned communities are nestled among its native coastal habitat, far away from the bustle of the cities.
For avid golfers, a Florida planned golf community is likely to hold one of the professionally designed courses that Florida golf communities are known for.
