reno st james village lifestyle

What is the first thing that comes to mind about gated communities? Usually, people think the houses are packed close together, causing a lack of privacy, and is complete in-affordability. Of course, a gated community also come along with a lot of amenities. These can be things such as well-maintained common areas, swimming pools, parks and more. Some of the more upscale gated communities may even have tennis courts, basketball courts, and community centers- all contributing to the expensive and inclusive atmosphere, right?

The truth is that gated communities are spacious, secure and affordable for people of all different income levels!

Misconceptions About Gated Communities

1. Overpopulation

Overpopulation or overcrowding seems to be the number one misconception. There is often a perception that the developers have left little in the way of green space. By doing this, the main goals seems to be maximizing profits rather than the need for open spaces. 

However, these communities are often very spacious. St. James’s Village, offers spacious homesites for each custom home, with each property on one or more acres. We put our focus on low density planning, giving you neighborhoods that preserve quality and integrity.

2. No Privacy

The next myth we are debunking is the little to no privacy in these communities. Most communities aim for approximately 60 percent of open space throughout the community. Premium rated landscapers are hired to create amazing yards and open spaces. Specifically, this ensures the privacy of those who live in these communities. 

In addition, the developer pays close attention to population density for these communities. To ensure overcrowding and loss of privacy are not an issue, intricate plans are designed for the expected population.

In the last decade, there has been a significant movement towards creating gated communities in Reno, NV. Their goal is to offer higher levels of privacy with more open space. Our gated community has over 800 acres of untouched, open space permanently set aside for walks, picnics and bike rides.

For many, the concept of gated communities in Reno, NV brings to mind a higher level of living and more expensive housing that only the well-to-do can afford.  However, the real estate market is ever-evolving and communities catering to all income levels are springing up. 

Many of today’s home buyers are looking to move up to living in a gated community. For decades, the only thing that kept them from this before was the incredibly high price attached to the homes. Coming to understand this, real estate developers are now taking a keen interest in building at a variety of price structures. In doing this, real estate developers are able to create communities that meet a much more diverse segment of the demographics.

This makes it so more people can enjoy the privacy, security, and amenities for homes in a gated community. It also helps the developers to realize a much faster and often better return on their investment. This creates a win-win for both those who are interested in living in them as well as for the developers, realtors, and contractors who are creating them.
