Parade of Homes

108 PARADE of HOMES SPRING 2024 ourond Creek is a burgeoning development in St. Adolphe, located just 10 minutes from the southern end of Winnipeg. For families looking for larger lots or folks looking to escape the pace of city life, Tourond Creek offers all the amenities one could ask for, with various housing types for people in every age group and from every walk of life. Jon Powell, project manager for Tourond Creek, explains that a community is not characterized by the geographical limits that distinguish one area from another but rather by a space where individuals actively interact and care for each other. "It's a place that promotes acces- sibility, safety and facilitates the convenient movement of residents — allowing them to easily walk to school or the nearby community centre. Our vision for this commu- nity is to provide individuals with the opportunity to reside in the location of their choice throughout every stage of their lives," he says. "Our offerings range from apartment plus two- or three-bedroom town- house rental units to side-by-sides and single-family lots of various sizes. Additionally, we provide amenity lots for those who prefer lakeside living and proximity to walking paths." Tourond Creek stands out for its spacious surroundings, offering larger lots compared to those typi- cally found in Winnipeg, he adds. "While still conveniently close to urban amenities," Powell says, "it provides a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle, allowing resi- dents to unwind and embrace the outdoors." The development first broke ground in 2016 and, since that time, has grown in leaps and bounds. The St. Adolphe Land Development Co. is finishing the first of six phases and expects the area's population to triple by the time of comple- tion. Since 2016, the company has invested significantly in parks, green spaces, ponds and walking trails. The growing community has also answered the call of the changing needs of its residents by adding a daycare with more than 110 child- care spaces. A second daycare, located adjacent to the entrance to the community, is set to open in early 2024 with another 70-plus new childcare spaces. As in many new developments, Tourond Creek has architectural standards created to achieve a consistent and high design stan- dard for all new homes to ensure a visually cohesive and attractive neighbourhood. The standards include design details and locations for fencing, driveways and land- scaping standards. If you'd like to explore the options available in the community, sched- uling a call with one of the devel- opment's established builders is the best place to start. Each of the premier builders in the area offers a variety of home designs, each with its own unique style. "We're trying to provide an oppor- tunity for people to build their first home, their next home or their dream home in a setting that gives them the balance they're looking for at an affordable price," Powell says. "In Tourond Creek, you receive excel- lent value for your investment while residing in a tight-knit community where you can truly feel at home and familiar with your neighbours. It's a very walkable community that we've designed around parks, pathways and lakes so that people can be surrounded by nature and encourage active living." To learn more, visit TourondCreek.ca.
