You still get to:
It’s a modern approach to homeownership that unlocks lower upfront costs, fewer responsibilities, and more time for what matters most.
Are pets welcome, and are there any rules around size or breed?Yes, pets are welcome. Each community has its own pet policy, so our team can provide the guidelines specific to your neighborhood.
Can I live here part-time if I have another home elsewhere?Yes. Many of our residents live seasonally or split time between homes. While part-time living is welcome, short-term rentals are not allowed in order to preserve the community atmosphere.
Do I have to worry about yard work or maintenance?We’ve got you covered on the front yard and shared spaces. You take care of the areas you personalize, like your garden beds or backyard. It’s the perfect mix of freedom and convenience.
What are the benefits of on-site professional management?Our on-site professional management team is here to support you. From maintaining shared spaces to helping coordinate community events, we’re here so you can spend your time the way you want to.
You own 100% of your home, including its structure, finishes, and upgrades. You also build equity as your home grows in value. The land underneath is leased, which allows us to handle landscaping, roads, and community upkeep so you can spend less time on maintenance and more time enjoying your home.
Can I still make the home my own?Absolutely. As a new-build buyer, you can choose from a variety of semi-custom options to create the look and feel you want. Once you move in, you can continue to make interior updates over time. Any exterior or structural changes simply require approval to keep the community looking its best. You’re not sharing walls or stuck in a cookie-cutter setup.
Is my investment secure?Yes. Your home is a valuable asset that can build value over time. Our land leases last 99 years, providing long-term stability and peace of mind for you and any future owners.
What makes High Point Living’s buying model a smarter or more affordable choice?Our model allows you to invest in a home while keeping more of your savings intact. Compared to traditional homeownership, you benefit from significantly lower upfront costs while still building equity and enjoying a high-quality community lifestyle.
Yes! Whether you’re paying cash or financing, you’re covered. We can even introduce you to trusted lending partners familiar with our communities.
What happens when I’m ready to move or sell?You can sell your home at any time. It’s yours. And we’re happy to help you list it, market it, and connect with buyers who are excited about moving in.
Do I need permission to sell my home?Not at all. You’ll just need to make sure your buyer applies and qualifies to live in the community, just like you did. We help make that process smooth and straightforward.
Will the land lease affect my ability to sell my home?Not at all. Buyers are increasingly drawn to land lease communities for their affordability, amenities, and professionally managed lifestyle. Plus, we’re available to help guide resale every step of the way.
Can I sell my home to my family?Yes. Your home is a valuable asset that can be inherited, sold, or transferred in accordance with our community’s age and residency guidelines and lease.
Can I build equity or make a profit when I sell?Yes, many residents do. Like any home, value appreciation depends on market conditions, but we’ve seen strong demand and resale success in our communities.
Are there transfer or resale fees?Just like traditional real estate, there may be fees such as escrow costs or brokerage commissions when you sell your home. We are happy to walk you through the process and provide clear details.
Your monthly community installment covers the big things: community landscaping, roads, amenity upkeep, professional management, and resident events. Everything is designed to support the lifestyle you're building.
Will the community fee change?Yes, modestly and predictably. The fee adjusts annually with CPI or a minimum of 3%. This predictable, transparent increase helps reinvest back into the community, ensuring long-term quality and preserving home values.
Are there surprise or hidden fees?No hidden fees. Everything is clearly outlined upfront, from your purchase agreement, your lease and your monthly lifestyle installment. No HOA dues unless residents form one on their own (and that’s optional and separate from High Point Living).
What about taxes or utilities?Property taxes for both your home and homesite are handled the same as any single-family home. As the homeowner, you are responsible for taxes and utilities during your lease term, with no unexpected fees.
