What’s It Like to Live in the Perch at Mattson Community?

What’s It Like to Live in the Perch at Mattson Community?

Here are 3 things we like about the Perch at Mattson community.

1. The Best of Both Worlds

The community is being developed by Melor and Carrington. Perch at Mattson is a new community tucked in alongside more established communities such as The Orchards, Summerside and Walker. This gives you the best of both worlds. You can select a brand-new home built to the best and most current technological standards, but also enjoy the amenities of these more established nieighbourhoods including schools, shops and professional services.

Bedrock Homes, a builder that is part of the Carrington group is creating some wonderful home ownership opportunities in this community. You can read more…

One of the most prominent builders in the community is Bedrock Homes. You can read more about this builder by clicking this link: 3 Things We Like About Bedrock Homes.

Here are 3 things we like about the Alces community.

1. A Wide Price Range

At the time of writing, most homes being offered are single-family homes. Some have double attached garages and others are laned homes offered with a pad to build your garage. Or in the case of Bedrock Homes for example, they…

3 Things We Love About Brand New Communities

3 Things We Love About Brand New Communities

1. Everyone is Looking for Connection

New communities are full of newcomers. Folks that left their friends & family behind & everyone is in the same boat. Drive or walk around a new community during the summer months & you will find neighbours talking to neighbours getting to know one another & solving problems together. Wondering who can build that deck, fence or do your landscaping? Chances are a neighbour has the answer. Many of our clients report that they have made lifelong friends if they were one of the first families to move into a new community.

2. You Get the Latest Best Technology & Design

A home built today is simply superior in every way to a home built 20 plus years ago. The…

What’s It Like to Live in the Edgemont Community?

Situated in the southwest corner of Edmonton & developed by Brookfield Residential, Edgemont is fast emerging as one of the most popular & perhaps more affordable communities in which to buy a new home in 2024.

Those families that live in Edgemont enjoy trails, parks & woodland throughout their neighborhood. There is also an active Community League & you can find their website here Edgemont Community League.

First established well over 10 years ago, newer segments of the community open up each year.

I interviewed some of the sale’s people that work for the new home builders in community. They suggested several benefits of living in Edgemont & here they are:

1. A Great Layout

What’s It Like to Live in the Kinglet Community?

What’s It Like to Live in the Kinglet Community?

Kinglet by Big Lake often referred to as ‘Kinglet’ is a new community developed by Anthem Properties Group and situated to the northwest of Edmonton and just southwest of St Albert. Kinglet Gardens is an adjacent community to the south of Kinglet itself and this community was developed by Rohit.

Kinglet residents will enjoy handy access to facilities such as the Edmonton Springs Golf Course and Lois Hole Centennial Provincial Park. Highway 16 is just minutes away and I am told there will be some ‘informal’ access and boat launch points through the woodland preserve to Big Lake itself.

This is a great location for families that want to take advantage of all that Edmonton and St Albert offers.…

What’s It Like to Live in the Blatchford Community?

What’s It Like to Live in the Blatchford Community?

Are you familiar with the Blatchford community?

Do you know anything about the history of the site?

On both counts its fascinating.

Back in 1927 the then Mayor of Edmonton Kenneth Blatchford convinced the managers of Edmonton development to build ‘an air harbour’. It wasn’t long before the facility literally put Edmonton on the map.

In 1931, Wiley Post was greeted by large crowds when he landed at the airfield as part of his successful attempt to become the first person to fly around the world. From 1940 to 1944 the airfield was known as RCAF Edmonton & functioned as part of the Northwest Staging Route whereby Russia’s defenses were reinforced. At one point it’s been claimed that the…

What’s It Like to Live in the Glenridding Ravine Community?

What’s It Like to Live in the Glenridding Ravine Community?

Not far from the North Saskatchewan River and tucked away in the south west portion of Edmonton, Glenridding Ravine is noted for being close to facilities many of us desire including several golf courses for example the Windermere Golf and Country Club, Jagare Ridge Golf course plus shopping, off leash trails, 2 ski hills, several rec centres and playgrounds are close by.

As the community matures alongside its neighbour Glenridding Heights, this may change. The community is slated to enjoy a future K-6 school, a future transit centre and a future district park campus.

I interviewed some of the sales people that work for the new home builders in community. They suggested several…
