As you search for the ideal location for your new home, one of the terms you’re likely to run across is “master planned community.” Pomona is one of the premier master planned communities in Manvel Tx, with a variety of home builders to choose from and amenities that cater to residents of all ages.
In order to help you make the best choice for your new home, let’s take a step back and explore some of the benefits of a master planned community.
What is a Master Planned Community?
In general, a master planned community is a larger residential community with homes in a wide variety of prices and styles, multiple amenities, and non-residential use of land. There are four primary factors that set master planned communities apart.
Amenities. Some of the amenities you’re likely to find in master planned communities include swimming pools, sport courts, playgrounds, parks, walking trails and more – for example, Pomona has a fish camp! Pomona has miles of hike and bike trails and over 300 acres of open green space, with serene natural wetlands and protected waters.
The amenities are chosen and designed to help create a true sense of community, encouraging neighbors to spend time together. Pomona is a Hillwood Community, and we call this throwback to traditional neighborhoods “Live Smart.”
Lifestyle: Another factor that contributes to a master-planned community is the lifestyle. At Pomona, we hold around 300 events every year. Our events are designed to bring our residents together for healthy and fun activities, giving them the opportunity to get to know each other and enjoy the natural beauty all around Pomona.
Examples of some events we’ve held in the past include a Mardi Gras Celebration, a fun run, and flag football featuring pro football players. When you choose Pomona for your new home, there’s no end to the fun you’ll have right in your own backyard!
Neighborhoods: Master planned communities are unique because while they are a single, unified “space”, they include a mix of distinctive neighborhoods and home designs. For example, Pomona has a gated area featuring homes by Toll Brothers, and a lakefront area with homes by Coventry Homes and Highland Homes.
Multiple Uses: In addition to homes and amenities, many master planned communities include space for other uses. For example, Pomona already has Pomona Elementary School onsite, just off Kirby Drive. Future phases of development include plans for commercial space and multifamily housing.
Why Should You Live in a Master Planned Community?
Master planned communities are designed to create an optimal mix of residential homes, parks, amenities and businesses, and provide a number of benefits for prospective homebuyers. All the different elements of a master planned community have been carefully considered long before the first home is built.
This planning provides protection for home buyers on several fronts. Since areas have already been designated for residential neighborhoods, businesses, schools and parks, residents don’t have to worry about the area becoming overdeveloped and congested. There are also no worries that noisy industrial businesses will show up in the community, which can lower property values.
If you’re still wondering if master planned communities are worth it, one of the biggest benefits is something you don’t necessarily see but it has an impact on your every day life: infrastructure. Roads, utilities, and areas such as green space and parks are laid out before homes are built. This ensures that all homeowners have convenient access to amenities, and that traffic flow is maximized.
