A survey of 1,600 homeowners across six master-planned communities in the U.S. shows that community design influences 46% of home purchases, while amenities drive 49% of residents to stay. Outdoor amenities and lifestyle programming are key to quality of life and long-term loyalty. Homes in amenity-rich communities sold for up to 46.1% more, with land values rising 20.6% to 28.6%, after developers invested $15,000 to $27,000 per home. The findings suggest developers should focus on both design and active amenities to maximize property value and resident satisfaction.
