Southeast
Southern Comfort Cont’d from page 11 “One of the things that we’re finding is that people who already live in River Park South, in the next couple of years this will be their last chance to get a new home,” Mr. Vogan says, adding “there are some fancier houses coming in.” At least six of those homes will be on dis- play during the 2013 Spring Parade of Homes. A&S Homes, Ventura Custom Homes, Broadview Homes, Sterling Homes, Randall Homes and Kensington Homes all have show homes in the Parade. The newer Waterside Estates should also make a splash in its second Parade of Homes. With a mix of multi-family and single family homes of all sizes surrounding a man-made lake, the community off Dugald Road, just west of Plessis Road, is convenient to the Regent Avenue strip. “It’s got great access to the whole Regent area, where there’s a fair amount of shop- ping,” says Joshua Rist, General Manager of Discovery Homes, whose contemporary walkout bungalow at 15 Mockingbird Lane will be featured in the Parade. “It’s great for people going to work as there isn’t a huge amount of traffic in the area,” Mr. Rist says. The southeast is also becoming a more popular choice for homeowners seeking a simpler lifestyle.
Royalwood Estates, nestled into upscale Royalwood, is a brand new townhome complex built for luxury, with walkout basements, gourmet kitchens and heated two-car garages. The Oxbow on the Seine is similarly chic, with its stainless steel appliances and upgraded plumbing fixtures included in the price of each Phase 3 condo on Creek Bend Road. Both the Oxbow and the Legend at Creek Bend – which is now selling condos in its cozy, rustic third phase, built by Irwin Homes at 1205 St. Anne’s Rd. – share similar views along the Seine River. Urban adventurers in the area will soon have access to a lengthy, tree-lined pathway along the river. Beyond the Perimeter, Winnipeg’s neighbouring communities are also expand- ing with modern complexes. Ile des Chenes is now selling Phases 2 and 3 of its traditional-style The Oaks Condominiums, while Steinbach’s Hampton Village is expanding its multi-family dwellings to accommodate the booming city’s in- creased demand for new homes. And Steinbach builder G&E Homes is working on a number of projects, including the new Brighton Lane Villas – ultra-affordable side-by-sides. For home buyers with modest budgets and a desire for small-town living, they may be worth the trip.
