Master Planned Communities Growing in Popularity
Announcement posted by Geraldton Heights Estate 30 Aug 2013
Geraldton real estate developers reveal why so many buyers feel that master planned communities are superior to any other kind of community.
Geraldton, WA, August 30, 2013 - 4Land Property Group, a firm that offers house and land packages in Geraldton and in Perth and other parts of WA, is in the process of developing a master planned community called Geraldton Heights Estate. Located in Geraldton, the Estate is slated to contain approximately 2,500 homes, along with its own shops, schools, parks, and other amenities.
Master planned communities are becoming very popular in Australia, especially in areas perceived as ‘sea change’ destinations. There are many documented characteristics of planned communities that are seen as benefits and reasons to choose them as a living destination.
A master planned community is a community that is built to be self-sufficient, and contains all of the essential services and amenities that a resident requires for daily living. This usually includes shopping malls, sports complexes, theatres, medical facilities, parks, and schools, but can include a lot more in some cases.
The very definition is a strong benefit: Everything the resident needs is contained within the community. Many people can get along without even having transportation if they don't feel they require it, because everything they need is a short distance away.
Master planned communities tend to have more open spaces than standard communities. The fact that they are planned guarantees open spaces. Parks and playgrounds are built in, and there isn't as much flexibility for people to overbuild or for parks to be torn down, for example, for apartment buildings.
Another benefit of master planned communities is that they tend to return a lot higher return on investment (ROI), due to property appreciation. Planned communities nearly always perform better in the market than standard housing does. Houses in planned communities tend to be maintained better, and most of them have rules that prevent owners from neglecting their homes and devaluing the neighbourhood.
Madeleine McErlain, Marketing Manager for 4Land Property Group, is a fan of master planned communities: “All of our master planned communities have been extremely successful, and we expect the same for Geraldton Heights Estate. Master planned communities have a lot going for them, and home buyers are starting to realise how much safer it is to invest in a master planned community than to buy a house in a standard neighbourhood.”
McErlain continued, “Geraldton is a rising town; it represents a great investment, and it is a great place to live, especially for those who want the ‘sea change’ lifestyle. Geraldton Heights Estates provides an urban lifestyle, but close to the ocean and ten minutes away from the Geraldton CBD. It serves as a mining industry hub, and we are seeing a lot of people move from the Perth area to Geraldton.”
“By the time Geraldton Heights Estate is finished, it is going to be special. There are parks, sport facilities, a shopping mall, medical facilities and many other amenities in the works. The Estate is going to be a community within a community. We think residents will be really happy with the Estate.”
McErlain concluded, “If you are thinking of trading the hustle and bustle of the city for a more relaxed lifestyle, take a ride up to Geraldton. You just might decide you want to stay.”
