What is a Master Planned Community? Usually found in warmer climates, they are large communities of new homes typically at least 1,000 acres in size with development and construction governed by specified standards of design and restrictions of land use. These communities offer recreational areas, golf courses and parks as well as schools, restaurants and shopping within the community. Clubhouses with pools and spas are part of the community package.
In a Master Planned Community, all of the amenities and conveniences are planned and included ahead of time and are often in place before homes are built.
To maintain the original master plan, builders are carefully selected with home designs continuously reviewed. There are a number of smaller similar type communities or subdivisions existing within the Master Planned Community providing potential buyers with a choice of home styles and prices.
Las Vegas offers a number of Master Planned Communities catering to individuals and families of various ages and life styles – with “something for everyone”.
