8 Questions to Ask When Touring a Master Planned Community

If you’re looking for a new home near Dallas, you may be planning to tour master planned communities in Frisco TX. Touring a community is a great first step in deciding where to move. To make the most of your tour, ask these 8 questions to get the inside scoop on life in the community:

  1. “Is the community still growing?”

An actively growing community is ideal for newcomers. It’s easier to mingle with the other residents, who are also new. You’ll likely also have a larger selection of lots and inventory homes to choose from.

  1. “Can I see the master plan?”

Find out what additional phases, amenities, schools or commercial areas are planned before you purchase your lot or home.

  1. “What amenities are offered?”

Visit the clubhouse, pool and other amenities. Is everything well maintained and clean? Are any more amenities planned? When will they be ready to use? Do the amenities fit your family’s needs and interests?

  1. “Which schools serve the community?”

Are they good schools? How close are they to the community? Ask if new schools will be built in the community and when. Even if you don’t have children, school quality is important because it affects the resale value of your home.

  1. “How close are stores, restaurants and other destinations?”

You probably already know how close the community is to your workplace, but what about other places you’ll visit, such as stores, restaurants, entertainment venues, medical offices and parks? Are they close enough to be convenient?

  1. “Can I easily walk or bike around the neighborhood?”

Are there sidewalks so you can walk to the community amenities or take your dog for a jaunt around the block? Is it safe to ride your bike on the streets? Walking or biking around the community is good exercise and a great way to meet your neighbors.

  1. “What’s the community’s personality?”

Just like any neighborhood, a master planned community will have a personality. Some attract active families while others are mostly populated with retirees. Does the neighborhood vibe seem to fit your family’s lifestyle?

  1. “What are the HOA fees and regulations?”

Ask for a copy of the HOA rules and bylaws when you tour the community. Be sure to read it before you decide whether to move in. Find out what the fees are and what they cover.
