7 Benefits of Living in a Community with Amenities
At first glance, community amenities can seem like a “nice to have” bonus when you’re shopping for a new home. The truth is that having amenities like a pool or clubhouse in your community can make a big difference to your quality of life and even in the resale value of your home.
Here are 7 specific ways that having on-site amenities can improve your life:
1. Health and fitness
Good health is the foundation of a good life. Communities that have fitness centers, walking paths, pools, playgrounds and even dog parks help your entire family stay healthy and strong. Having those amenities in your own neighborhood is an easy way to remember to use them!
2. Convenience
We all need exercise and fresh air daily. But sometimes we don’t feel like packing up our workout gear and driving to the gym or hiking trail. When you have exercise facilities right in your community, it’s so much easier to stay in shape. In many communities, you’ll be able to walk, ride a bike or drive a golf cart to the amenity center, parks and walking trails.
3. Social opportunities
Community amenities provide a built-in way to meet your neighbors. Your kids can play with others at the park or splash pad. You can find a workout buddy in the on-site gym. Or join a book club or other group that meets in the clubhouse. It’s easy to meet people when there are so many places to gather!
4. Safer spaces
Using amenities in your neighborhood can be safer than public pools, parks and walking trails. Facilities in a private community tend to be well maintained and treated with care by residents. Within your community, you’re more likely to know or at least recognize the other people using the facilities. Knowing your neighbors helps build safe neighborhoods.
5. Children’s amenities
Most planned communities include play spaces just for kids. Playgrounds, parks, splash pads and toddler pools make these neighborhoods especially good for families with children. There may even be schools in or adjacent to the community.
6. Resale value
When you’re ready to move, it may be easier to sell your home if it’s located in a community with amenities. You may also get more for your home than you would if it were in a basic neighborhood with no clubhouse or recreational amenities. Buyers will be attracted to your home in part because of the amenities – just as you were!
7. Quality of life
To sum it up, having amenities in your community helps to increase your overall quality of life and that of your family. The right amenities can help you stay healthier, make more friends and increase the value of your home.
