Southeast Southern Comfort Cont���d from page 11 ���One of the things that we���re finding is that people who already live in River Park South, in the next couple of years this will be their last chance to get a new home,��� Mr. Vogan says, adding ���there are some fancier houses coming in.��� At least six of those homes will be on display during the 2013 Spring Parade of Homes. A&S Homes, Ventura Custom Homes, Broadview Homes, Sterling Homes, Randall Homes and Kensington Homes all have show homes in the Parade. The newer Waterside Estates should also make a splash in its second Parade of Homes. With a mix of multi-family and single family homes of all sizes surrounding a man-made lake, the community off Dugald Road, just west of Plessis Road, is convenient to the Regent Avenue strip. ���It���s got great access to the whole Regent area, where there���s a fair amount of shopping,��� says Joshua Rist, General Manager of Discovery Homes, whose contemporary walkout bungalow at 15 Mockingbird Lane will be featured in the Parade. Royalwood Estates, nestled into upscale Royalwood, is a brand new townhome complex built for luxury, with walkout basements, gourmet kitchens and heated two-car garages. The Oxbow on the Seine is similarly chic, with its stainless steel appliances and upgraded plumbing fixtures included in the price of each Phase 3 condo on Creek Bend Road. Both the Oxbow and the Legend at Creek Bend ��� which is now selling condos in its cozy, rustic third phase, built by Irwin Homes at 1205 St. Anne���s Rd. ��� share similar views along the Seine River. Urban adventurers in the area will soon have access to a lengthy, tree-lined pathway along the river. ���It���s great for people going to work as there isn���t a huge amount of traffic in the area,��� Mr. Rist says. Beyond the Perimeter, Winnipeg���s neighbouring communities are also expanding with modern complexes. Ile des Chenes is now selling Phases 2 and 3 of its traditional-style The Oaks Condominiums, while Steinbach���s Hampton Village is expanding its multi-family dwellings to accommodate the booming city���s increased demand for new homes. The southeast is also becoming a more popular choice for homeowners seeking a simpler lifestyle. And Steinbach builder G&E Homes is working on a number of projects, including the new Brighton Lane Villas ��� ultra-affordable side-by-sides. For home buyers with modest budgets and a desire for small-town living, they may be worth the trip. ���We wanted somewhere where our son could ride his bike and I felt safe��� 12 Parade of Homes Spring 2013
