Gated golf communities are often considered to be the gold standard of both family and retirement living and it’s easy to see why. Gated golf communities like Porter’s Neck Plantation offer best in class golfing while also boasting some of the most beautiful views of coastal North Carolina. In this  blog post we’ll explore some of the benefits gold communities bring to everyday living.

Health benefits

Studies have shown that golfing helps to prolong life. As a matter of fact, the death rate for golfers is 40% lower than others in the same sex and age group.

Less neighborly nuisances

We love our neighbors! But that doesn’t mean we want them to be right next door. Golf communities typically place other homes further away than typical communities – giving you and your family a little more breathing room.

Community benefits

There are several social benefits to living in a gold community. Firstly, golf clubhouses host a number of planned events that are accessible to community members over the year. This provides an opportunity for residents to acquaint themselves with one another. In the same light, because golf communities are inhabited by golf enthusaists (shocker!) this ensures that community members share interests.

Higher property value

Estates established in golf communities benefit from higher property and sale value. Should you ever decide to put your home on the market, you can expect higher sale values then when purchased. These homes also sell quicker and more reliably than their non-golf community counterparts.
