VERO BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, October 28, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Private Communities Registry (PCR), the leading online resource connecting lifestyle homebuyers with master-planned, active adult, and retirement communities across the U.S., has released new data highlighting the most sought-after community amenities for 2025. Based on PCR’s Survey of Homebuyers and Renters Researching Lifestyle Communities and corresponding user behavior on PrivateCommunities.com, the results paint a clear picture of what today’s buyers value most when searching for their ideal community.

The 2025 PCR Index of Amenities: What Buyers Want Most

According to PCR’s latest survey results, the top 10 desired amenities and activities among lifestyle-focused buyers are:

• Walking/Biking Trails – 74%
• Fitness Center – 71%
• Swimming Pool – 70%
• Clubhouse – 57%
• Tennis/Pickleball – 42%
• Golf – 40%
• Green Features – 22%
• Dog Park – 22%
• Boating – 19%
• Spa – 18%

This data is reinforced by on-site engagement metrics and search behavior from thousands of visitors exploring PrivateCommunities.com, where trail systems, fitness facilities, and resort-style pools consistently rank among the most-viewed amenities.

Reflecting Today’s Real Estate Market

PCR’s findings align with broader national real estate trends that emphasize wellness, outdoor recreation, and community connection. As more buyers—especially those 55 and older—seek meaningful experiences and active lifestyles, communities are evolving to meet those expectations with amenities that encourage movement, social engagement, and overall well-being.

“Buyers today aren’t just shopping for a home—they’re searching for a lifestyle,” said Ben Keal, Director of Sales & Operations at PCR. “Our data shows that outdoor activities, health-focused amenities, and opportunities for social connection are what truly define community desirability in 2025. Developers that design spaces with these priorities in mind are seeing stronger demand and more engaged residents.”

The rise of multi-use walking trails, pickleball courts, and fitness centers speaks to this growing emphasis on accessible, low-impact recreation. Meanwhile, traditional offerings like golf and clubhouses remain popular, particularly among active adults seeking connection, structure, and community programming.

Keal adds, “It’s no surprise that wellness-driven amenities are leading the way. The best master-planned communities are those that offer balance—combining recreation, relaxation, and social opportunity. That’s exactly what today’s lifestyle buyers are looking for, and it’s where PCR excels in helping them find it.”
