Choosing the right place to call home is about so much more than the house itself. It’s about finding a community where you and your family will feel welcome and comfortable. You want a neighborhood that will cater to your family’s wants and needs, where you can see yourself building memories that will last a lifetime. That’s why we’ve put together this handy home-shopping guide filled with planned community homebuyer tips to help you learn how to choose the right community for your family, lifestyle, priorities, and plans.
How to Choose the Right Community:
1. Is the community family-friendly? What does a family-friendly community look like? It’s probably got plenty of parks and outdoor places to play, not to mention good schools and lots of kid-friendly amenities such as splash pads and playgrounds. When you’re touring a master-planned community, you can ask whether many families in the neighborhood might have school-age kids. Here at Sandbrock Ranch, our youngest residents love our swimming pools, splash pads, playgrounds, and so much more. We also have an on-site elementary zoned to Denton ISD.
2. How close is it to work, school, shopping, and more? You know what they say: Location, location, location. Your home is the centerpiece of your daily routine, so when you’re choosing a community, think about its location in relation to your work, school, shopping, dining, healthcare providers, and more. At Sandbrock Ranch, convenience isn’t just a perk; it’s a part of your lifestyle. Sandbrock Ranch offers small-town warmth with big-city opportunities, all nestled in Aubrey, Texas, a little town with a big heart that offers some amazing local businesses and events that you’ll love.
3. Are there organized events and activities? Many modern communities offer more than just amenities. Lifestyle directors plan local events and resident activities that build community, let you get to know your neighbors, make new friends, and form unforgettable memories with your loved ones. Whether you’re interested in fitness classes, food truck nights, social clubs, or seasonal events, you’ll find a wealth of opportunities out there. Before you choose a community, look at the calendar of upcoming and recurring events to see which ones fit your lifestyle, your interests, and your needs. Our on-site lifestyle director at Sandbrock Ranch programs a calendar full of exciting and fun events, all inspired by our Live True values!
4. Who’s building the community? When it comes to how to choose the right community, knowing who is building it is vital. You’ll want to take a look at the homebuilders who build each home as well as the developers who are designing the community itself. At Sandbrock Ranch, we’re proud to work with award-winning home builders like Coventry Homes, David Weekley, and Highland Homes. But, as we said, choosing the right community is about much more than just the house. Jean Ann Brock and Rod Sanders are a brother-sister team who have been developing award-winning homes all over the state of Texas for more than 30 years. Sandbrock Ranch is their proudest creation, a master-planned community founded on values of connection, family, nature, adventure, and fun that we hope will be the perfect place for your family to call home!
