You've got your eye on that perfect home at a new development
just off the ninth green, but the rest of your family isn't convinced.
How do you make the argument that golf-side living is the way to go? Here
are three key arguments to convince even the most skeptical.
1. Residential Home Values
May Be Higher
According to a study done on the impact of a golf course on
residential property values, golf course frontage was second only to waterfront property in
terms of creating value for residential properties. Of course, some homes
are better than others. Homes located near the golf club tend to be worth
more, as do those that directly face the golf course. Golf courses are
not created equal either, so make sure to do your research before you take the
plunge.
2. Access to Green Space
When living next to a golf course, there is no need to worry
that a new build will go in that empty lot behind yours. You reap the
benefits of the landscaped greens and a parklike view, without having to do the
maintenance yourself. For a perfect example, take a look at Ormond Beach Florida new homes located on the
greens.
3. Peace and Tranquility
Golf isn't like most sports, it is played quietly, in small groups. This means that much of the time, there will be very little noise coming off the course. In addition, there are rare exceptions, but for the most part, golf is a daytime-only game, which means that at dusk, the course becomes empty. You still may have neighbors to either side, but having a golf course backing your property could actually mean increased privacy.
