You can’t just offer giant houses in suburbs and then wonder why it’s not filled with a diverse mix of demographics and incomes.” Vireo Lane is close to Sage Creek’s Village Centre, with easy access to the community’s trail system, and it’s within easy walking distance of West Plains Drive, where all three custom builders have new show homes. During the Parade of Homes, you can also check out new Maric show homes in RidgeWood West and Bridgwater Trails. KDR Homes is introducing new homes in Bridgwater Trails and Prairie Pointe, and Hearth Homes has an art deco-inspired show home in Taylor Farm, as well as a new model in RidgeWood West. POH

Since laned lots are affordable, they make luxury homes more accessible to a wider range of buyers and contribute to the community’s diversity, he adds.
