Question 1

What types of homes can I consider in each community?

Accepted Answer

Encore is the stronger starting point if you want to concentrate on detached homes with substantial space for your household or visitors. Solterra offers both townhomes and detached homes, so you can compare attached and standalone layouts. In either community, inspect the actual floor plan, private outdoor space and features of each home rather than assuming they come standard.

Question 2

Is Encore club membership required for a resale buyer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Reunion West POA states that initial and resale purchasers must acquire and maintain Encore Reunion West Club membership. It also requires the joining fee to be paid by closing and a membership agreement to be submitted. Before purchasing a resale, review the current membership documents alongside the home’s other ownership costs and terms.

Question 3

Does Encore membership require participation in a rental program?

Accepted Answer

The documented Encore club membership requirement is not a requirement to rent your home or enroll in a rental-management program. Those are different decisions and arrangements. If you intend to let a property, review its applicable rules and any proposed management agreement separately; do not infer an obligation or permission from the club membership requirement alone.

Question 4

Does buying at Encore include Reunion Resort’s water park or golf facilities?

Accepted Answer

No automatic access follows from buying at Encore. Reunion Resort operates separately, and its water-park information expressly excludes Encore guests and members from that water park. Do not treat the Encore at Reunion name as an entitlement to Reunion Resort’s golf or other facilities. Review access to any specific facility you expect to use before making it part of your buying decision.

Question 5

What is the status of Solterra’s clubhouse pool and lazy river?

Accepted Answer

As checked November 1, 2026, Solterra’s clubhouse pool and lazy river were temporarily closed for scheduled maintenance. The amenity center remained open. That notice concerns shared aquatic facilities, not every private pool at a home. If those facilities matter to your purchase, ask us to check their current operating status before you decide.

Question 6

Are Solterra amenities only for homeowners or automatically free?

Accepted Answer

No. Solterra’s CDD states that district-owned facilities are accessible to the general public under its framework, with non-resident user fees addressed by the district. That does not mean every facility is exclusively for homeowners or free for anyone to use. Check the current amenity policies and the access arrangements relevant to your household.

Question 7

Who handles pool work at Encore and townhome exterior work at Solterra?

Accepted Answer

At Encore, owners may elect association-provided private-pool cleaning or arrange their own service, but they remain responsible for pool equipment functionality, maintenance and repairs. At Solterra, the HOA handles specified insured townhome roof and exterior repairs. Ask which responsibilities apply to the particular home and phase rather than treating either arrangement as complete maintenance coverage.

Question 8

Can I assume a particular home permits short-term letting?

Accepted Answer

No. A resort name, a private pool or nearby homes used for short stays does not establish what you may do with a particular property. If letting is part of your plan, we can help you identify the relevant community and property documents to review before you buy. Keep that question separate from amenity membership and access.
