IT’S NO LONGER MAINLY PEOPLE COMING BACK TO LIVE IN THE AREA THEY GREW UP IN. PEOPLE IN THE CITY HAVE WOKEN UP TO JUST HOW MUCH A COMMUNITY LIKE LA SALLE HAS TO OFFER.
Just south of Winnipeg, home buyers are flocking to developments in La Salle, such as Ventura Land Company’s Prairie View Lakes. “The number of Winnipeggers coming out to live in La Salle has been exponential of late,” says Ventura’s Tim Comack. “It’s no longer mainly people coming back to live in the area they grew up in. People in the city have woken up to just how much a community like La Salle has to offer.” Luke Wiebe, sales representative for A&S Homes in St. Adolphe’s Tourond Creek, says home buyers are rapidly catching on to the fact that you can get more bang for your buck outside city limits. “A good example is park lots,” he says. “In the city, you’ll pay anywhere between $150,000 and $170,000 for one. In Tourond Creek, you can get a big park lot for $115,000.” Response has been so strong that about 50 per cent of lots in Phase I of the Lombard North Group development have already been sold.

“In the past, most of our customers came largely from the surrounding area,” she says. “A new trend has started where more people are coming from Winnipeg to have a look. And more and more people from Winnipeg are choosing to buy a home, either in Stone Ridge Meadows or Quarry Ridge Park.”
