Neighbourhood Profile
LANGILL FARM
The subdivision will include multi-family complexes, 127 single-family homes, a number of townhomes and three additional lots for commercial build- ings. There has been some discussion regarding a complex possibly being converted into a 55-plus residence, a first for the city. That tentative plan was mentioned in a Free Press article in June. “Once that was mentioned in the Free Press , we’ve gotten nothing but calls about it,” Bickerton says. “It has put it to the forefront.” While some homes have already been built and occu- pied, the community will welcome about 2,600 residents once it’s completed. “We’re basically trying to attract everybody,” Bickerton says. “The goal is to age in place. Once you live there, you stay there and love your commu- nity. You can stay in Steinbach, raise your family and, hopefully, retire there and watch your grandchildren grow up. We’d also love to have more immigration in the area, and we’re trying to accommodate all kinds of housing to make that happen.” The stand-alone community includes a naturalized pond surrounded by walking and bicycle paths that just happen to be along the line of Manitoba’s 55-kilo- metre Peace Trail. Residents will be able to walk or cycle to all of the amenities in the area instead of driving to services.
“To have the amenities that we’ve designed — like the tennis/pickleball court, dog park, pond, walking paths, play structures — we don’t see anything like that in the Steinbach area,” Bickerton says. “It’s more common in the Winnipeg area, but the prices for housing in that kind of community are consider- ably higher. So we think it’s a good opportunity for Steinbach to continue to grow.”
The developers also went the extra mile by ensuring that 26 per cent of the property is dedicated to green space, as compared to the city’s 10 per cent mandate, Bickerton says.
“The goal is to age in place. Once you live there, you stay there and love your community.”
