"In the past, most of our customers came largely from the surrounding
area," she says. "A new trend has started where more people are
coming from Winnipeg to have a look. And more and more people
from Winnipeg are choosing to buy a home, either in Stone Ridge
Meadows or Quarry Ridge Park."

Just south of Winnipeg, home buyers
are flocking to developments in La Salle,
such as Ventura Land Company's Prairie
View Lakes.
"The number of Winnipeggers
coming out to live in La Salle has been
exponential of late," says Ventura's
Tim Comack.
"It's no longer mainly people coming
back to live in the area they grew up in.
People in the city have woken up to just
how much a community like La Salle has
to offer."
Luke Wiebe, sales representative for
A&S Homes in St. Adolphe's Tourond
Creek, says home buyers are rapidly
catching on to the fact that you can get
more bang for your buck outside city
limits.
"A good example is park lots," he says.
"In the city, you'll pay anywhere between
$150,000 and $170,000 for one. In
Tourond Creek, you can get a big park
lot for $115,000."
Response has been so strong that about
50 per cent of lots in Phase I of the
Lombard North Group development
have already been sold.
IT'S NO LONGER MAINLY
PEOPLE COMING BACK TO
LIVE IN THE AREA THEY
GREW UP IN. PEOPLE IN
THE CITY HAVE WOKEN
UP TO JUST HOW MUCH
A COMMUNITY LIKE LA
SALLE HAS TO OFFER.
