Visiting Sierra Vista? Our information center should be your first stop. Think of it as a fact-finding mission to ensure this new environment aligns with your lifestyle and aspirations. Of course, having a clear set of questions in mind can streamline the process and give you confidence in your decision-making. What questions? Here are a few to get you started:
Ask About Builders
If you have questions about our builders, the information center can give you some answers. They know who is building, where they are building and what you can expect. They can also direct you to the model homes where you can get even more information.
Ask About Amenities
When considering the amenities, you’ll want to dig deep. Sure, the swimming pool and clubhouse are great, but what else is there to elevate your living experience? Are there walking trails, fitness centers, dog parks and sports courts? What about unique amenities like a lazy river? How often are the facilities maintained, and who is responsible for that maintenance? Knowing this can give you peace of mind that you won’t be dealing with a neglected tennis court or a gym with broken equipment. Are these amenities included in your HOA fees or are there additional charges? Being clear on this can help you avoid unexpected expenses.
Ask About the Schools
For families, knowing about the local schools is important. Which schools are zoned to the community? Are there plans to build a school onsite? Are there private schools nearby? Has the school district won any awards? Does the high school have advanced placement or dual credit programs? What sort of extracurricular activities are available? The answers to these questions are vital to your children’s future.
Ask About Shopping and More
You won’t be spending all your time in the community. You need to shop, dine out and enjoy weekends away from home. Ask where the nearest grocery store is. Is there a shopping center or mall nearby? What about services? Where can you go to see a doctor or get a haircut? When it comes to restaurants, is it all just fast food or are there some anniversary celebration-worthy places nearby? And when you need something to do, are there places to hike? Amusement parks or movie theaters within easy driving distance? All these things add additional quality to your lifestyle.
Ask About Future Development Plans
Thinking ahead is crucial when considering a master-planned community. One of the first things you should ask about is any upcoming development projects. Are there new homes or commercial spaces planned? Infrastructure improvements? These future additions can significantly impact your living experience and property value. Ask if there will be any amenities added, like parks, recreational facilities or new community centers. Don’t hesitate to ask about the impact on property taxes. New developments can lead to increased property values, which might sound great, but it could also mean higher taxes.
Ask About Homeowners Association Rules
Request a copy of the HOA rules and regulations to get a comprehensive understanding of what’s expected from residents and what you can expect in return. One key area to explore is the fee structure. What do the monthly or annual fees cover? Are there additional assessments you should be aware of? Are there restrictions on exterior paint colors, landscaping or home additions? How strict is the HOA about rule violations, and what are the potential penalties? Don’t overlook the social aspect of the HOA. Do they organize community events, clubs or activities? These can be great opportunities to meet your neighbors and foster a sense of community.
