RCLCO has tracked top‑selling master‑planned communities since 1994; Daybreak has appeared in the Top 20 multiple times since launching in 2004. In 2020, master‑planned communities like Daybreak proved especially popular for their parks, trails, and amenities that support safe, socially distanced recreation right in the neighborhood.
