Pickleball is a hit? You bet. Just ask Resort-Style Communities

With this increased popularity and a positive health impact, numerous neighborhoods and communities throughout the United States have made pickleball courts a priority within their amenity packages, whether building new courts, or refurbishing old tennis courts into pickleball courts. Homebuyers flock to these communities as winter getaways, second homes or new communities to call home full-time.

 “Manufactured home communities are known for their activities, events and amenities, and with the growth of pickleball over the last few years, residents want courts readily available to enjoy the active and social lifestyle the sport brings,” says Pat Zamora, representative of myMHcommunity.com (a one-stop website that helps buyers find a home in a community environment that fosters an active and social lifestyle).

“Additionally, communities are adding or converting to pickleball courts because many prospective residents are looking for this amenity when they purchase a new home,” added Zamora.

An example of such a community is Monte Vista Village Resort, an age-qualified resort-style neighborhood in Mesa, AZ that offers a unique atmosphere fostering an active and social lifestyle. In 2021, Monte Vista completed a new sports and fitness complex that included many features like a full weight room and gym, along with four new pickleball courts, bringing the community’s total offering to a dozen courts.
