Have you ever heard of master planned communities in the Phoenix area? Many people are unaware of the benefits of living or investing in master planned communities and where they are located. So what is a master planned community? They can be defined as large-scale residential areas that offer a large number of commercial amenities that increase their value drastically. These amenities may include golf courses, parks, pools, lakes, and sometimes even schools and shopping centers. This makes life convenient for residents who want to live closer to amenities they use everyday and also desire privacy that cannot be provided in regular public spaces. The Phoenix real estate market happens to have a grand number of these types of communities, and here are the top five Phoenix area master planned communities we would recommend you check out:
When it comes to well-known master planned communities in the Phoenix area, Power Ranch is a top contender. Located in Gilbert, this master planned community sets a high standard for others of its kind by providing an abundance of comfort for all of its residents. With accompanying large-scale amenities like their own parks, fishing lake, hiking trails and clubhouse, it’s no surprise that this community was recognized as one of the best master planned communities by the National Association of Home Builders. The most distinctive thing about this master planned community is that it’s able to maintain the feeling of a small town with all of the benefits of living in a city.

There are also many outdoor hobbies you can pursue such as basketball, hiking and biking trails, and playing at the tennis courts. If sports aren’t your thing, you can enjoy picnics or barbeques under the ramadas or visit the playground with your kids.
