When people start looking for houses, they tend to run through the usual checklist: How many bedrooms? What’s the square footage? What’s its condition? How appealing is the location?
One of the things that’s overlooked or perhaps a low priority is whether or not it is in a private gated community. The luxury homes in our (Tucson) real estate development are great examples of gated community living.
What is a gated community?
A gated community is a neighborhood or subdivision with extra security. It typically has one entrance point that requires special access (such as a code or checking in with an attendant).
There certainly are benefits to gated communities, including virtually no public access (unless you count FedEx, UPS, Amazon and USPS drivers). If you’ve never lived in a private gated community, you’ll find Saguaro Ranch ideal.
Gated communities offer added peace of mind.
No need to worry about packages being stolen from your front porch at Saguaro Ranch. Of all the gated communities across America, ours is the only one accessed through a 600-foot long tunnel! Everyone entering is greeted and checked in by our friendly attendant, who then activates the electronic gate to the real estate community. And what could be better for your peace of mind?
Gated communities provide welcomed privacy.
No solicitors, no street traffic, no unexpected visitors — gated community homes offer a measure of privacy that can’t be beat. And because gated communities are selective with who can enter, you’re in control of who you see (and when).
Saguaro Ranch is not like any other gated community. We’re removed from the hustle and bustle of Tucson, but close enough that you can easily access the downtown area when you feel like it. The stunning desert views and mountain vistas of our real estate development offer incredible tranquility and privacy.
Gated communities are peaceful.
There’s usually a speed limit assigned to the streets within gated communities, and Saguaro Ranch is no exception. Our real estate community has a 15 mph limit on most streets and because 80 percent of our over 1,100 acres will remain as undisturbed desert, it’s much quieter than your average luxury home community. Being secluded from the world on the other side of our tunnel makes owning at Saguaro Ranch even more special.
Gated real estate developments offer a sense of community.
While this can be true for many gated communities, Saguaro Ranch goes above and beyond. Not only do we have the security and privacy features you’re looking for, but our Owners Club provides ample opportunities to connect with other residents.
It has a world-class lap pool and spa, fire pits, recreational areas (such as two pickleball courts, horseshoe pits, and bocce ball court), a workout facility and so much more. Not to mention we have miles of private biking and hiking trails — perfect for exploring with a neighbor or couple you met down by the pool. Unless you feel like venturing into nearby Tucson, you won’t need to leave to find things to do.
But as mentioned, whether you seek community or privacy, you can find both at Saguaro Ranch. Our 4+ acre estate lots are spacious and in this gorgeous, picturesque desert real estate development, you can find solitude as easily as you can find community.
That’s the beauty of a gated community — the possibilities for community, privacy, peacefulness, and whatever else you need in a home are endless (especially in our real estate development). Why not take a self-guided driving tour of Saguaro Ranch to see for yourself?
