Land Lease Communities
are such a misunderstood and undervalued type of community. As in every
form of housing there are the good and the bad, but after touring some
of the yes! communities in Oklahoma and Texas there is no doubt in my mind that this will be the housing of the future.
SE Homes of Texas
has recognized for years how important it is to offer the right home
for community living and I've really enjoyed working with them on this.
Getting to see the finished homes and the people who live in them is
such a delight - it's rewarding beyond belief to this Lifestylist® to know you can help these families live in the home of their dreams. With SE Homes of TX being a part of the Clayton Homes
family - the largest housing builder in the country- they have the
resources to build and design homes that no other company can match.
What
is a land lease community? This is where instead of having the burden
of owning and taking care of the land your home sits on you lease it
from the community owner who then is also responsible for keeping up the
streets, common areas, paying the property taxes and making sure that
the community is well maintained. Communities can have a little or a
lot of community areas, and most offer on-site management so there is
someone there every day making sure the community is run properly. Many
of them are in prime locations and can offer swimming pools, sports
courts, walking paths, community gardens, and clubhouses. Leasing
instead of owning the land your home is on it can save you thousands in
property taxes and insurance which you can then invest into your home.
You are responsible for your home, but the community owner pays for
everything else.
The advantage of this type of housing over
apartments is that you can own your own home, plus you aren't sharing
walls or hallways with your neighbors. Each home is on it's own lot
giving you room to garden or enjoy outdoor living.
I have been
visiting communities from coast to coast because I've become so
interested in this, and the quality of living that the yes! communities
provided was above and beyond the others in their areas. Every detail
from how the landscaping was maintained to the signage into and around
the community is taken into consideration, and even though it is still
winter up here everything was spotless! Not a blowing piece of paper or
unpainted fence to be found.
What really set the yes! communities
apart though was the people behind the name and the residents that live
in these communities. Saying (and meaning) yes is the approach this
company and it's people take and the difference this makes is seen
throughout. Residents and staff are happy and are excited to be there
because yes! has provided a wonderful quality of live for everyone
involved.
What's in a name? Everything when you are talking about a YES! community.
