‘ I LOVE THIS NEIGHBOURHOOD!”
AND YOU WILL, TOO.
According to the 2020 RE/MAX Liveability Report, the most liveable neighbourhoods in Edmonton have access to green spaces and walking paths. That criteria couldn’t more perfectly describe what Creekwood Collections in the south Edmonton neighbourhood of Chappelle is all about.
Everyone wants something different from the place they live. For some families, the house is the most important thing. They might like a big house, with lots of space and maybe a triple car garage. They like the idea of choosing their lot and then working with a builder to help them create the home that is just right for them. For those families, spending time to choose everything and then watching their house being built from the ground up is exactly what they want. Some people want a house that is already built — maybe because they need a place right away, but they like the idea of a brand new home, so they choose a house that is all ready to go. And then there are the folks who don’t want a single-family dwelling at all. They want a smaller yard or less housework or a home that fits their budget. They may choose a paired home or a townhome. And while most of the newer neighbourhoods in Edmonton offer several choices for the type of dwelling one might choose, there are very few places that also offer as much access to beautiful green spaces and walking paths as Creekwood Collections. The paths — over 9 kilometres — wind through trees, natural areas and past tranquil storm water ponds. Ducks, geese, rabbits and deer are all spotted regularly. The Whitemud Creek Ravine is a picturesque wilderness flanking this neighbourhood that truly brings you back to nature. Perhaps best described as an oasis, it is the tranquility of the natural habitat, combined with all the choices for lot size and type of housing that make the area unique. More than ever before, families are thinking about and discussing what is important to them in where and how they live. Big or small house, large lot or small, backing onto the ravine or the pond — these things matter. But what matters most is time with friends in the backyard, a chat with a neighbour over the fence or a peaceful walk with your family through the trees that are now bursting with the freshness of spring. Yes, you say, it all sounds wonderful, but you may resonate with the same report that also says affordability is one of the most important factors. Housing costs in Edmonton rank among the lowest in Canada for a major city, and interest rates remain low, but it may be quite daunting for you to make it through the purchase and financing process. All the builders in Creekwood Collections will work directly with you — over the phone or online — to help you through the hurdles of buying a home, including the financing part. And even in a time of physical distancing, they are available to show you a home — safely, of course! Take a drive into the neighbourhood — it’s a great way to get out into the sunshine right now and have a look around. Creekwood Collections is a gem in terms of location in south Edmonton with quick access to beautiful new roads to major shopping and the international airport. It’s all here — schools, groceries, everything you need. You can have it all — the house, the neighbourhood, and the dog.
