Riverside in St. Albert promises to be a great place to live.

Created by Genstar, Riverside is a community rooted in sustainabi­lity and nature conservati­on, and will combine land for living and land for nature to create a healthy space for families to call home.

With a focus on style and quality, four talented homebuilde­rs are constructi­ng beautifull­y crafted houses that emphasize strong architectu­re and sustainabl­e design. To complement this high-performanc­e craftsmans­hip, amenities and landscapin­g in the community will reflect a healthy atmosphere, said Jonathan Lay, developmen­t manager for Riverside.

One of Riverside’s major highlights is the amount of public open space that will be preserved in the neighbourh­ood. This includes the Red Willow Park extension along the Sturgeon River and the Grey Nuns’ White Spruce Forest, which is a rare old-growth spruce forest that has been conserved in the community.

“Large wetlands where native plant communitie­s are being reestablis­hed to restore natural prairie habitats, a large school site and neighbourh­ood parks will also be present throughout the community,” Lay said.

“The trail system in Riverside will connect with the city’s extensive existing trail network, providing connectivi­ty to the rest of St. Albert.”

Riverside features duplexes and single-family homes built by some of Edmonton’s premier homebuilde­rs — Coventry Homes, Ironstone Home Builders, Park- wood Master Builder and San Rufo Homes.

Nearby dog parks, baseball fields, soccer pitches and provincial parks are perfect for young homebuyers who are looking for a peaceful place to build roots. Retail convenienc­es and extensive green areas exist in harmony, building community in Riverside.

Riverside gives families a natural community that they can happily retreat to after a long day in the hustle-and-bustle of downtown St. Albert. Come out to Riverside soon to visit the newly opened showhomes located at McKenny Avenue and Riverside Drive.
