What Is a Gated Community?
A gated community is a type of residential area with controlled access points secured by guards and gates. The focus on security is designed to give residents peace of mind and a sense of safety.
Shoal Creek is a luxury gated community, offering the benefits of controlled access, a secured perimeter, and a shared focus on safety among residents. This contributes to the overall sense of security and privacy you’ll experience living here.
Does a Gated Community Increase Property Value?
Investing in a gated community is often associated with high property value. This stems from the enhanced security, privacy, and exclusivity offered to residents, along with consistent upkeep managed by HOAs. At Shoal Creek Properties, our commitment to these ideals, combined with the natural beauty that surrounds our community, fosters a truly valuable and desirable living environment.
How Do You Build a Home in a Gated Community?
Building your dream home in Shoal Creek Properties’ premier gated community involves a few key steps. These include:
- Contacting Our Team: We’ll guide you through the entire process, from exploring available lots and understanding community guidelines to connecting you with custom home builders.
- Securing a Lot: We offer a variety of lots. Some are more open, while others have views of the golf course or the Double Oak Mountain. We even have lots located at higher elevations with views of the valley, giving you plenty of privacy and seclusion.
- Choosing a Builder: We recommend working with a builder familiar with Shoal Creek’s building standards and experienced in crafting higher-end custom homes within gated communities. Our team can provide you with a list of recommended builders, or you can do your own research to find the best fit.
- Designing Your Home: Consider the architectural guidelines set by Shoal Creek and ensure your design complements the surrounding area’s natural beauty.
- Obtaining Permits & Approvals: While we don’t work with buyers to obtain permits (as this is done by the builder), our team is available on-site if any issues arise.
