Education: Horizon West 101
Each village has a unique personality. It is important to educate yourself in the master plan of the community and rely on an expert in the village design concept. I can assure you that no two villages are the same!
Choosing a neighborhood comes down to building a list of wants and needs with each client and factoring in their preferred lifestyle.
Questions I often ask are:
- Do you prefer a large community with many amenities & opportunities to connect with neighbors at events?
- Do you prefer a smaller, more intimate community?
- Is lake access a must-have? If so, is lakefront a dream you are hoping to make happen?
- What kind of HOA fees are you used to? What kind of fees work for your budget?
- Is a brand-new community preferred or is something more established a better fit?
- Do you have school-aged children? Walkable schools are high on many client lists!
There is no one “right” answer as to which village is best. They all have something wonderful to offer. Getting to know potential residents is the key to helping them choose the perfect village for their unique lifestyle!
