Low-density, master-planned communities come with many advantages and are designed to appeal to a specific lifestyle. They include the amenities and perks that homeowners are looking for. From landscaping to stable property values, here are 10 ways you’ll benefit from buying land in a master-planned community.


Get Instant Curb Appeal

When you buy land in a master-planned community, it comes with a landscaped and fully maintained entrance and roads. You won’t have to worry about gardening, mowing, plowing, or maintaining any communal areas for the community. This instant curb appeal is not only nice to come home to, but it will also boost your home’s value.


Build the Custom Home of Your Dreams

On your own lot, you have the freedom to build your home exactly as you want it. Design a custom home that checks all the boxes — whether you want to add a huge master suite, a chef’s kitchen, multiple private decks, or other luxury home finishes — there’s no limit to the way you can customize your property.


Buy Land That’s Ready-To-Build

Compared to other plots for sale, buying land in a master-planned community has another added convenience: it’s ready for immediate construction. Your homesite is already set up to be connected to utilities like electricity, natural gas, and water. These utilities are stubbed to your property so you won’t need to drill a well and hope to hit water, this has already been done for you. You’ll be able to start building your dream home right away.



Capitalize on a Builder’s Network

When you buy land in a master-planned community, you also gain access to an exclusive network of local contacts. Since they’re already an established part of the area, these communities often have affiliations with custom home builders, contractors, and local suppliers who can help guide your home-building process. That’s not to say you can’t work with your own resources, but it never hurts to find competing quotes.


Intentional Low-Density Design

Master-planned communities are intentionally designed for harmonious living into the distant future. Each spacious homesite is carefully mapped to ensure low-density living, offering plenty of space between neighbors and room for you and your family to spread out.


Maintain Your Privacy and Security

The gated entrance with cameras provides both security and privacy. This limits non-essential traffic, which makes your surroundings quiet and peaceful. Buying land in a gated community offers uninterrupted enjoyment of the natural beauty that surrounds your home.


Make Connections with Your Neighbors

Another advantage of buying land in this type of neighborhood is having a close-knit community. Low-density master-planned communities attract people who appreciate its unique location, stunning views, open space, and secluded feel. When you make this community your home, you’re sure to find like-minded people all around.



Explore Trails and Open Space

Diamond Tail was carefully planned to include private trails and open space for its residents to enjoy. Imagine spending time each day exploring different paths that offer immediate access and opportunity for exercise, fresh air, and a different perspective of the landscape around you; or enjoy an evening walk to catch the sun setting over the distant hills — a connection to nature and all it has to offer is yours.


Capitalize on Stable Property Values

Master-planned communities do a lot to contribute to stable property values. From the maintained entrance and roads to the collection of other high-quality custom homes in the community, land in the Diamond Tail community retains its value and steadily appreciates. If it’s important to you to invest in property that will always provide a solid return, buying land in a master-planned community can present a great opportunity.


Enjoy What Makes Your Master-Planned Community Unique

Every master-planned community can offer different advantages that appeal to a unique lifestyle, such as the ideal location, excellent views from each homesite, manicured trails and open space, community areas, and more.


When buying land in a master-planned community, you’re not only getting the perfect spot to build your dream home, but you also get all the benefits your community provides that improve your day-to-day living experience. This is why it’s crucial that you choose the right community that not only meets your expectations for building a new home, but that also reflects the type of life you want to lead.


A master-planned community like Diamond Tail can help you realize your dream home and your dream location.
