Northeast Northeast Exposure Cont���d from page 115 The Transcona community, a so-called ���gateway to getaway��� now undergoing its ninth and tenth phases of development, has proven extremely popular with new and growing families looking for spacious floor plans at a price that won���t break the bank. ���It���s a family-oriented community with good involvement by those families in their neighbourhoods, and it shows in the schools and the parks and the community clubs,��� Mr. Vogan says. Canterbury���s reputation had always been something of a well-kept secret, Mr. Vogan says, but interest and access has increased in recent years, thanks in part to the extension of Ravenhurst Street a few years back. ���Now there���s a whole bunch of really satisfied people there, as well as a few more opportunities to be their neighbours.��� The urban/country imprint also extends to the Dugald-area development of Wheatland Park, where scenic prairie views and city conveniences happily coexist, and in nearby Oakbank, where Terracon Development���s Aspen Lakes and Crystal Lakes are considered unofficial suburbs of Winnipeg. Since getting underway nearly a decade ago, Aspen Lakes has earned raves for its spacious waterfront lots and surrounding park and playground space, not to mention custom homes built to high standards of design excellence and material quality. It���s a similar story in prestigious Aspen Lakes, where giant lots offer an escape from the city amid pastoral views of surrounding parkland. ���You���ll find all the same features as your standard planned communities in Winnipeg,��� says Land Development Manager Tim Comack of Ventura Land Development, developers of Wheatland Park in Dugald. ���There are paths, parks and ponds, but the lots are much larger and the architectural restrictions are less onerous, so it���s more affordable to build a house.��� Cont���d on page 118 116 Parade of Homes Spring 2013
