Looking to live somewhere innovative, inspiring, and exciting? You might want to try house hunting in a mixed-use community. These communities are designed to incorporate a variety of daily uses, from homes of all sizes to retail and work spaces, in order to appeal to people in all stages of life and provide places to live, shop, work, and play.

Here are just a few benefits to consider when researching life in a mixed-use community: 

1. CONVENIENCE. One of the biggest pros of living in a mixed-use community is the convenience factor— residents can visit their local coffee shop, library, or gym without ever leaving the neighborhood.

2. CONNECTIVITY. Great mixed-use developments are designed with walkability in mind. Residents of all ages can walk to work, walk to school, and walk to spend time with friends.

3. COMMUNITY. Those looking for a real sense of community are likely to find it within a mixed-use neighborhood. Residents have plenty of opportunities to interact in common neighborhood spaces— from parks and pools to cafés and farmers markets.
