Parade of Homes

Cont'd on page 105 By Todd Lewys >> SELECTION HAS NEVER BEEN BETTER in Manitoba's condo market. Entry-level buyers, empty-nesters and everyone in between can easily find a well-appointed apartment, townhome or bungalow condominium that fits their budget and lifestyle. And chances are they can find it in the neighbourhood of their choice. StreetSide Developments alone has The MIX in Bridgwater Forest, Metro Condominiums on Hugo Street South, Bluestem townhomes in Sage Creek, The Charles in Charleswood and Hudson Condominiums in Devonshire Village, with a new seven- storey option, The Rise, coming soon to Bridgwater Centre. "Right now, we have several projects on the go," says StreetSide marketing coordinator Brenlee Coates. "We pretty much have the city covered." A transit-oriented development, the Metro has so far drawn most interest from two key demographics. "We've seen a split between 30 year olds looking for their first home and younger downsizers," says Coates, adding both age groups appreciate the affordability, selection of finishes and the location near Winnipeg's first rapid-transit line. Meanwhile, a different demographic has been scooping up Bluestem townhome units. "Because the two- and three-bedroom units start at $251,900 — you can get a completed unit for as little as $262,900 — young couples and couples planning a family have really been buying into Bluestem," Coates says. Features include spacious kitchens with 12-foot islands, large sundecks, wooden front porches and private attached garages. And along with shopping and services, there's a new school in the pedestrian-friendly community. "Best of all, the townhomes at Bluestem offer the space and convenience of a house, but not the responsibilities," Coates says. "They offer incredible value."
