nearby K-8 school along the limestone trails and enjoy a full range of activities at the Oak Bluff Rec Centre, which offers seemingly non-stop ice time for hockey and ringette. The community also features a fantastic trails system plus easy access to outdoor motor sports and the town of Oak Bluff. Karen Geist-McNeill and her husband moved to the community this past summer from River Heights. While she never thought country living was for her, she quickly fell in love with Oak Bluff West. “When you get out to Oak Bluff, it’s like a breath of fresh air,” she explains. “Me and my husband are right on a lake and face west, so we get these beautiful sunsets from our deck. Sitting out there in the fall, the peaceful- ness is so wonderful, and yet we’re just outside the city. It’s just a lovely place to sit and relax, where you don’t feel the tension of the city and it’s not uncommon to see a bald eagle or owl soar by.” Whether you’re a young family or empty-nester near- ing retirement, the community’s open air feeling is hard to forget. And while many people are drawn to the oversized lots to build their dream home, Oak Bluff West is also perfect for people looking to downsize. This spring, Randall Homes is beginning construction on a new nine-unit attached bungalow condo project right in the heart of the subdivision, their second proj- ect in the area. “The first 14 bungalows appealed to people who were downsizing and moving into the area to be close to the grandkids – they get a fantastic home, but don’t have to worry about maintenance,” explains Jason Jaquet of Randall Homes. “The feedback so far has been excel- lent; they’re enjoying it and taking advantage of all the amenities in the community. This new bungalow condo project will build on the success of the first with an updated 2016 look.” Whether you’re looking to upsize to a custom home or downsize to a modern condominium, Oak Bluff West offers the conveniences of city life with unmistakable country charm.
>> Leave the rush of the city behind and discover Oak Bluff West, a new Qualico com- munity located on the southwest edge of Winnipeg. Oak Bluff West is home to beautiful wetlands, wide open views of the prairie countryside and quiet streetscapes. “It was a location begging for houses,” explains Eric Vogan of Qualico Communities. “It’s easy to get to via the Perimeter and McGillivray, it’s a peaceful place to live and work, and there is a great school and recreation facilities right there in the town of Oak Bluff. It’s a perfect blend of city and country. You get more space for your money.” Oak Bluff West is situated by the town of Oak Bluff, a quick 10-minute drive to Kenaston Common and Seasons of Tuxedo, 15 minutes from the MTS IcePlex, and about 25 min- utes from downtown Winnipeg. Glenda Sobie, General Manager of Ventura Homes, agrees that it’s the beautiful location that makes Oak Bluff West so special. “It’s that rural experience with a sense of space,” she explains. “There is a lot of undevel- oped land surrounding it, so you get a nice country feeling in the community. It’s very quiet, but you’re still close to all city amenities.” With its extra-wide lots, large bungalows and open spaces, Oak Bluff West offers plenty of room for families to grow and enjoy an active lifestyle.
