Home Buyer Guides/Tips

The word is out; owning a high maintenance home can translate into perpetual headaches. And, that’s why many of today’s savviest homebuyers are opting for low maintenance features when they are buying a house. Let’s take a closer look at some of the reasons why so many people are choosing kind of home that serves their desired lifestyle.

One of the key features typically found in a low maintenance home is a smaller individual homesite, but easy access to a vibrant community with entertainment options like dog parks, trails, tot lots, bocce ball courts, etc. Often this is part of an idyllic neighborhood plan designed by new home builders, and these types of features are frequently seen in new townhome communities.

Small yards do wonders for reducing the hassle of yard maintenance. It means you can skip mowing the grass, weeding, worrying about outdoor property maintenance, and/or hiring someone to handle those issues for you. So, instead of being forced to mow the lawn when you come home from work, you can relax, enjoy access to beautiful outdoor options, or entertain. This means you can spend more time with your family and build new friendships with neighbors.

The cost and effort of swimming pool ownership is also something the community can bear instead of the homeowner. The amenity of a community pool means all the enjoyment without having to worry about chemicals, filters, leaves, or brushing algae.

Thanks to a low maintenance lifestyle and home, you can still enjoy plenty of outdoor activities and fun, but you do so in your own “backyard” or in nearby community facilities. It is a true win-win all the way around. Best of all, opting for a low maintenance home means never having to deal with a landlord or waiting for repairs to take place.

Anything that can reduce the work and effort of your daily life will translate into lower stress, more time for hobbies, and a greater enjoyment of your free time. New home builders know that more buyers than ever before are looking for ways to reduce their homeowning stress. Once you become accustomed to having time and stress saving amenities at your fingertips, you’ll never go back!

A low maintenance home provides all the diverse benefits of homeownership, but without all the hassles. If you are buying a house and want to start enjoying your free time again, consider choosing an amenity rich community.
