Living in a Planned Community like Wyndham

A well-planned community like Wyndham in the Glen Allen suburb of Richmond offers a variety of benefits and housing choices. For many homeowners, it’s the perfect choice for today’s 24/7 lifestyles. So how do you decide which community is best? One of the biggest considerations facing any potential homebuyer is location. Is where you live convenient for work? Are there quality schools nearby? What’s the community like? Is it attractive? What about recreation — like a pool, parks, or a golf course?  Wyndham is certainly a popular choice.

Compare the neighborhoods you like, keeping in mind the advantages of living in a planned community. There are many more questions to ask, since location is a matter of personal preference, but the following basics will get you started as you begin your home search…

Architectural integrity. A planned community establishes master architectural guidelines for homes and community amenities, which ensures that neighborhoods are well designed and complement each other for the long term. These guidelines create a unified theme, but with variations so that each neighborhood is unique. Long-term community specifications maintain the integrity of an attractive street scene, as well as landscaping and facilities.

Amenities that enhance quality of life. Master-planned communities are about convenience – from homes that don’t require extensive maintenance to amenities that make is easy to enjoy long weekends and quality family time. Specific amenities might include pools, tennis courts, hike-and-bike trails, recreation centers, gyms, sports fields, golf courses, clubhouses and much more. Smart community planning also considers views and the preservation of natural open space, as well as convenience for residents. For example, a planned community like Wyndham will typically be closer to good schools, commercial/retail centers, and major transportation corridors.

Investing in your future. Homes in master-planned community like Wyndham tend to maintain their value a little better than other developments. Homebuyers see them as more desirable places to live because they’re convenient to work, school and amenities. Your homeowner’s association dues are truly an investment in the future and contribute to the ongoing maintenance of community landscaping, pools, parks, recreation centers and other common area amenities. As the years pass, the homeowners association refreshes and renovates amenities as needed so the community continues to maintain its level of quality and desirability.

Sense of community. There’s also a strong sense of community in Wyndham, where families and children gather at the playground or at a community event and where a pool or recreation center is often the center of activity. Wyndham has a on-site elementary school (Shady Grove) and retail centers such as Short Pump Town Center are minutes away, making handling life’s daily activities easy and convenient.

You can feel the pride of good planning in the way the residents feel about their community. They own much more than a comfortable home in a beautiful neighborhood. They have a great place to live — whether they are starting a family, raising children, enjoying a new phase of life as a couple or cherishing their privacy.
