>> That old saw about the three most important factors in real estate
also holds true for homeowners. It's all about location, location, location.
How you live is largely dependent on where you live.
Walking trails, bike paths and naturalized wetlands are quality-of-life ele-
ments that developers have embraced in new communities throughout
southern Manitoba. Incorporating a village centre to provide shopping
and services within walking distance is now a common practice. As com-
munities blossom, they're serving a greater variety of lifestyle needs, of-
fering proximity to schools, community centres, restaurants and transit.
And builders are increasingly focused on providing a mix of single- and
multi-family homes for buyers from young professionals to growing fami-
lies and seniors.
