Hello World! Welcome Friends! When it comes to the house-hunting process, the location plays a very important role.
In fact, according to a recent survey, 78% of US homebuyers ranked neighborhoods as their first priority, even before the quality and size of their prospective homes.
But it is definitely a hassle when it comes to choosing a neighborhood for your new home. For instance, if you have kids and elderly relatives living with you, then you need a neighborhood with lots of people around for safety reasons.
And that’s probably why large-scale communities are so much in trend right now.
But What Type of Neighborhoods Are They?
According to industry experts, communities that are relatively bigger and advanced than an average neighborhood are often referred to as large-scale communities. They have unique needs as compared to a standard-sized neighborhood. But that’s all taken care of by large-scale community management professionals.
Thus, if you are also planning to move to large-scale communities, here’s a list of pros and cons you can refer to. Read closely for more information about what it is like living in a large-scale community.
Pros of Living In a Large Scale Community
Availability of Various Amenities and Features
One of the perks of living in a large-scale community is that you can get your hands on multiple amenities and features.
These amenities include retail shops, nearby parks, gymnasiums, cafes, restaurants, and reserved parking spaces. Availability of these amenities, in turn, ends up increasing the overall value of your space.
Better Human Interactions
Large-scale communities accommodate a lot of people of different ethnicities. You get to interact and be friends with different people. This will actually help in expanding your social circle.
In fact, many reports have shown that large-scale neighborhoods usually have low crime rates. And even if you or your family encounter any emergency, there are many people out there who can help you right away. There are even options for your pet dogs and cats to have a great social life, with dog parks and other pet-friendly facilities available in many large-scale communities. The benefits to pets in assisted living communities are numerous, ranging from socializing with other animals to having access to safe outdoor spaces for play and exercise. Plus, with more people around, there is always someone to look out for your furry friends when you are away.
Cons of Living In a Large-Scale Community
Lack of Privacy
Despite having abundant resources and land, there’s a good chance that you might end up sharing a common yard wall with your neighbors. Plus, you are always surrounded by people.
And this can be a problem for a family who wants to have their own personal and private space. Not to mention, it can give rise to several interpersonal problems in the long run.
Thus, before sealing the deal, make sure your realtor knows what you are looking for. This way, you don’t have to share your personal space with someone else.
Lack of Community Governance
It is needless to say that enforcing the covenants and declarations of bylaws in a large-scale community can be a bit of a hassle. If not done properly, it can be an arduous task.
Thanks to large-scale community managers, everything seems streamlined. The experienced managers and their support team help in enforcing various plans that can improve the overall value to your community.
They understand the importance of coordination and pay strict attention to the responsibilities outlined in every community’s governing documents.
The Final Word
All in all, it is pretty great to live in a large-scale community until you have experienced people to manage everything.
