Master Planned Development

[Andee]

Can we use the words "Master Planned Development" these days or will we get slapped on the hand. I would call it a "Planned Development" if it were smaller but it's over 1,200 acres, with multiple builders, various dwelling types, multiple parks, an elementary school, retail, several community recreation centers, on it's own lake, which also has water activities for the lake. The dwellings are anywhere from Condo/Apt style to 7,000+ sf custom builds. To me a "Planned Development" is much smaller and doesn't have everything this one has.

Not aware of the term "Master Planned Development" around here. Must be a Texas thing.

Fernando, you have them in California as well. If you have ever been to a Del Webb community, that's a master planned development...which is for 55+. I knew about Master Planned Developments over 30 years ago living in SoCal, and that was about 20+ year before I became an appraiser. Some may call them "Master Planned Communities". Here are the top 10 in California and if you haven't heard of any of these, I would think you were hiding behind a rock.

Irvine Ranch (Irvine)
Lake Arrowhead (Lake Arrowhead)
Rancho Bernardo (San Diego)
Otay Ranch (San Diego)
Rancho Belago (Moreno Valley)
North Valley (San Jose)
Rancho Mision Viego (Mission Viejo)
Winchester South (Winchester - Riverside County)
Rossmoor (Walnut Creek)
Greater Wilshire Hancock Park (LA)

Aren't you up north??? - so Walnut Creek and San Jose, but they are all over the place

These are strictly NoCal

The Dunes on Monterey Bay (Marina)
Rooftops at The Dunes on Monterey Bay (Marina)
Northlake (Sacramento)
Winding Creek (Roseville)
River islands (Lathrop)

If I could get away with Mixed Use Development that would be great but when you say that all they think of is retail and office on the first few floors and residential above.

I don't see why use "Master". Planned Development is fine with me.

A Planned Development/Community is smaller than a Master Planned Development/Community...and I thought this was 1,200 acres, but it's 2,000 acres. Most planned developments don't have things such as a school, or shopping, restaurants, etc, which is why they call it a "Master" Planned Development/Community. A Planned Development is your typical HOA, which has maybe a park or a few parks, with a community center that has a pool, that's it....BIG difference.

Mixed Use Development sounds good. Just call it that then describe the improvements and be done with it. This way you won't be using one of the dreaded, forbidden words.
