Posted: March 22nd, 2013
Viera is One of the U.S.’s Best Master-Planned Communities
Since we last discussed some of Viera’s best neighborhoods in 2013, the region has continued to grow and to receive accolades as one of the country’s best communities to live in for residents of all walks of life. As of 2022, Viera rests comfortably in the top 10 of RCLCO’s annual survey of best-selling master-planned communities in the United States. Despite increases in mortgage rates and the subsequent decline in home sales nationwide, major developers have expressed their confidence in the ongoing demand for single-family homes in master-planned communities.
To put it in plain English, many real estate experts predict that homes in master-planned communities will continue to sell even in the face of economic uncertainty. The convenience, amenities, and tight-knit feelings found in communities like Viera offer buyers, builders, and residents a sense of security unlike anywhere else. In particular, Viera offers a complete experience for residents of all ages and walks of life.
