Consisting of 1,467 acres, Sunrise is orientated around acres of sensitive, existing wetlands and open space buffers. The remainder of the site will be a wide range of residential single family homes, apartments, condominiums, and townhouses, which will all be connected by greenbelts, open spaces and bicycle paths.
The Sunrise community is unique to the Puyallup area offering a master planned community where people live, work and play. Sunrise will provide a balanced mix of residential, commercial and natural land use.
The Benefits of Living in a Master Planned Community: Holding Value/Premium At Resale. Homes in master planned communities typically carry a premium at resale. This is a win for homeowners. Research done in 1994 by American LIVES and InterCommunications Inc. did a nationwide study to obtain homebuyers' reactions to a wide variety of community amenities and features. The study showed that people were willing to pay a $13,500 premium for a master-planned community, compared to a home in new subdivision.
Community. A survey conducted by Mobil Land Development Corporation found that the surround community often is more important than the house itself. Our own research from Hebert Research Inc of Bellevue suggests that homeowners are willing to add time to their commute to the floor plans and features they want at a price they can afford, in a community that offers quality schools, shopping, recreation, and homes that offer. Specific development techniques that create the feeling the community include organization of single-family homes into distinct neighborhoods, a variety of housing types, retail, and parks.
