50 Parade of Homes FALL 2016
"It's always better to have a neighbour-
hood that's diversified and has different
forms of housing and townhouses and
higher-end homes," says randall Homes'
Jason Jaquet.
A good mix makes for a more vibrant
neighbourhood, and that means more
"eyes on the street" for families with kids,
he adds.
Qualico Communities' sage Creek devel-
opment in southeast Winnipeg is a prime
example of a well-balanced community,
with walking trails, native grasses and wet-
lands, a growing list of services in its village
centre and a new kindergarten to grade 8
school that's expected to open next year.
Qualico's newest community, ridgeWood
West, follows in sage Creek's footsteps.
Bordered by the Harte Trail to the north, it
was developed to preserve existing flora
and fauna, and it incorporates naturalized
wetlands and walking trails, along with a
varied housing mix.
The first new development in Charleswood
in decades, it's already a hot draw, particu-
larly among younger buyers. nearby, gen-
star development Company's Bonavista
neighbourhood is also gaining steam,
with its focus on active living, eco-friendly
amenities and naturalized wetlands close
to the seine river and Bois-des-Esprit trail
system.
