A great community is about more than beautiful homes. It is about how everything comes together, from the landscaping and lakes to the resort-style amenities. For more than 50 years, GL Homes has taken a thoughtful approach to community planning. Here are five smart planning tips that make a lasting difference:

GENEROUS LANDSCAPED BUFFERS
Beautiful landscaping does more than make a great first impression. Generous landscaped buffers help create a sense of privacy between neighborhoods, manage stormwater, control erosion, reduce noise, and add lush, natural scenery throughout.

ACRES OF LAKES
Lakes are an important part of the way many GL Homes communities are planned. Beyond adding beautiful water views,  we plant littoral zones that improve water quality and encourage biodiversity. And when we can, we preserve or relocate mature trees to reduce impact and enhance natural beauty. It’s all part of our goal to design and build luxurious neighborhoods that also respect and enhance the environment.

LIFESTYLE PROGRAMMING
Our communities are designed to make active, connected living part of everyday life. From fitness and sports to social clubs and community events, residents have plenty of ways to stay engaged, build friendships, and enjoy time with neighbors. Every detail is thoughtfully planned to support well-being and help residents make the most of life in the community for years to come.

IMPRESSIVE RESORT-STYLE AMENITIES
GL Homes is known for its impressive amenities that rival any five-star resort. From gourmet restaurants, oversized pools, fitness centers, world-class pickleball and tennis courts, card rooms, sports lounges, group fitness studios, grand social halls, demonstration kitchens, and so much more, when you live here you’ll have access to an incredible lifestyle right outside your front door.

WALKING PATHS THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY
Walking paths woven throughout every community create more opportunities to get outside, enjoy the scenery, and stay active. Walk, bike, or jog and enjoy the beautiful outdoors year-round with miles of trails winding through the community parks, which are filled with native, flowering trees and open green spaces.

It is this attention to the big picture and the small details that has helped distinguish GL Homes communities for more than five decades.
