THE View ON THE STREET Taking back front-row windows on the world
Welcome Home

>> IF YOU GREW UP in one of Winnipeg’s older neighbourhoods, chances are a picture window was the dominant feature at the front of your house, while the garage was in the rear. Those of us who prefer a view are happy to see that laned homes are back. And it’s a bonus that they’re typically more affordable as well as more attractive than many other styles. During the Fall Parade of Homes, Ventura Custom Homes is introducing its Urban Series of laned homes in Devonshire Park. Assistant general manager Arin Comack says 30 two-storey homes will be built on John Neufeld Crescent, with six unique plans arranged in a specific order to complement one another — and create a pleasing streetscape. “It’s a contemporary take on a classic home style,” Comack says. “Homes have more windows as a result, so they’re much brighter homes to live in because you don’t have that garage covering 20 feet of the front wall of the house.”
