What is a Master Planned Community?

So, what is a master planned community? According to Kitson Partners, developers of Babcock Ranch in Punta Gorda, FL, a master planned community is, “Designed from the ground up to offer everything a community needs. Convenience, schools, shops, entertainment, and potentially even your workplace are all right there, minutes from home.”

Master planned communities are large, mixed-use residential communities with a robust amenity package. These new home communities feature multiple homebuilders developing the neighborhood at a wide range of price points, so homebuyers with various budgets can invest in a new house.
