In the ever-evolving landscape of real estate, Las Catalinas aligns with a new global trend in the wellness world; wellness real estate. Everything right down to town’s architecture is designed to let those who live, work, and visit, practice well living. Beyond the traditional considerations of location, size, and amenities, homes should be designed to support the holistic health of their residents. Las Catalinas, always at the forefront of innovative living, embraces the wellness-at-home revolution in new and profound ways.
In 2022, the wellness real estate market was valued at $400 billion according to the latest available report from the Global Wellness Institute. Both renters and buyers have started to consider wellness at home as a pivotal factor during stages of construction and renovation and as a deciding factor for choosing their homes. This shift is rooted in a deeper understanding among the public that our living environment impacts our overall health. Since homes are typically our most important personal investment and expenditure, it is only logical that they should also be an investment in our health and well-being.
As Zillow unveils its top trends in home searches for 2024, wellness elements top the list, such as cold plunge pools, proximity to pickleball courts, and access to sensory gardens. The concept of well-being is gaining traction in the real estate landscape. However, the Las Catalinas vision for wellness in living spaces extends beyond trends, inviting the wellness real estate market to delve deeper into the profound essence of what it means to be well where we live.
Las Catalinas’ foremost choice for timeless wellness elements in real estate would have a walkable lifestyle at the pinnacle of the list. Las Catalinas advocates for neighborhoods that are compact, pedestrian-friendly, and mixed-use communities where essential activities are easily accessible by foot. Choosing to live in a walkable town provides plenty of benefits—keeping you and your family physically active, minimizing commute times, and fostering stronger family bonds. Within a five-minute pedestrian shed, residents can handle daily tasks while architecturally designed streets encourage interaction, enhancing sociability and community cohesion. Children revel in the freedom to play with the absence of cars, affording adults a sense of freedom from worries too.
The incorporation of wellness treatments into living spaces is a growing trend globally, and Las Catalinas has a variety of offerings throughout the town. Whether seeking a rejuvenating yoga session or cold plunge pool at Center of Joy or a relaxing massage at Wake Spa, the community ensures access to the latest wellness treatments, and nourishing dining options. As the community naturally gravitates towards these options, additional services have been introduced, including sound healing journeys, reiki treatments, and more.
In addition to convenient access to pickleball, Las Catalinas also provides the unique advantage of being nestled within 1,000 acres of tropical dry forest, featuring extensive hiking and biking trails just steps away from the Pacific Ocean. Whether on land or in the ocean, being active is effortless here, since town offers so many moments to connect with like-minded individuals who share a commitment to prioritizing physical activity.
As Las Catalinas evolves, we continue to benchmark principles for the future of real estate wellness and continue developing a community that prioritizes the well-being of its inhabitants. We look forward to a future where these types of amenities become a standard across the real estate market. Learn more about Las Catalinas Real Estate here.
