What you get in a resort community
These are not ordinary residential streets with a shared pool. The larger communities run water parks with slides and lazy rivers, clubhouses with restaurants and bars, gyms, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, and gated entries staffed around the clock. Your rental includes access.
The practical effect is that you will use the parks less than you planned. Families routinely book seven days of park tickets and use five, because the children would rather be on the slide at the clubhouse. Budget for that.
