Background: Mountain Bridge is a resort-style master-planned community set amidst scenic mountains with a signature stone bridge connecting the northern and southern areas. Picturesque covered grand entryways, clock tower, rustic old world Mediterranean and Andalusian architecture, and extensive open space, trails, and paths add to the community’s beauty. Our robust lifestyle program and intimate gated neighborhoods cultivate a tight-knit feel. A perfect place to gather, the Owners Club offers a heated pool, spa, fitness, tennis, event lawns, parks and is a centralized hub for lifestyle activities and resident connection. Great schools, dining, shopping, and recreational areas are just minutes away!

Strengths: “Our resident engagement and pride of ownership, strong lifestyle program participation, and active board and committees are a huge part of why our community is ranked as number one. Our homeowners are the shining stars of the Mountain Bridge community. Without them, it wouldn’t be the number one master-planned community.”
