When it comes to real estate in Hockley, Texas, there are plenty of choices, from rural homes on privately owned lots to neighborhoods filled with homes lining the streets. Each has its own appeal, but there are distinct benefits of master-planned communities like The Grand Prairie:
4 Benefits of Master-Planned Communities
1. Thoughtful Planning
A master-planned community is more than a collection of homes. It’s a purposefully planned development that encompasses homes, amenities, retail, and often schools, churches, and civic services such as a fire station or library. The community plan is often mindful of street patterns that minimize traffic within neighborhoods, and walkability is encouraged with trails connecting homes and amenities. Master-planned communities are developed with long-term growth in mind, with an emphasis on convenience and livability.
2. Built-in Amenities
Built-in amenities equate to built-in value, as prospective homeowners seek communities with onsite pools, playgrounds, and opportunities to spend time outdoors minutes from their front door. The benefits of master-planned communities are clear—idyllic summer days spent poolside, Mommy & Me meet-ups at the playground, and hitting your 10,000 steps at the fitness center are life experiences made all the sweeter knowing that if you ever do have to move, these amenities will add appeal to your home’s listing.
3. Strong Sense of Community
Our young scholars attend schools within Waller ISD, a school district noted for a student-focused approach. The district continually receives high marks for its teaching staff, which is dedicated to cultivating a lifelong love of learning, as well as for its wide array of educational and extracurricular programs. Elementary students attend one of the district’s newest schools and soon will attend one close to home, as the district has purchased 15.3 acres within our community for a new elementary school.
4. Consistent Aesthetic
Master-planned developments promise higher standards from the very beginning, with builders carefully selected for their quality construction, customer service, and strong business model. You’ll find no tales of builders abandoning a home midway through construction in a master-planned community. These builders also have to design their homes to specific standards set by the developer, ensuring an attractive, cohesive streetscape. After the sale, homeowners must follow HOA rules regarding mowing, parking, and other standards that keep the community neat and attractive. In addition, the HOA also maintains common areas within the community. The benefits of master-planned communities often translate to added home value.
Why You’ll Love The Grand Prairie
The Grand Prairie is a master-planned development at its finest, with an exceptional builder line-up and nature-forward amenities like The Overlook, a 40-foot hill offering 360-degree vistas of Lake Ember and the Katy Prairie. More amenities are on the way, including The Sundancer, a 6,700-square-foot clubhouse that anchors a 6.3-acre amenity campus. Several lakes are paddle-perfect, and 20 miles of interconnected trails will wind through the community. The Starlight opens later this year with a pool, splash pad, playground, pickleball courts, and more.
