Royale’s Gabriola Park offers rural appeal and easy access to urban amenities

SPACIOUS LANGLEY TOWNHOMES WILL BORDER GREEN SPACE, BUT BE A SHORT WALK FROM SHOPS, SCHOOLS AND SERVICES

- BY ROBIN BRUNET

With two fully furnished designer show homes, Gabriola Park by Royale Properties offers buyers an excellent opportunit­y to purchase a high-quality townhome in a coveted part of Langley at today’s prices, with move-in scheduled for 2018. This means you can buy today and have equity gain before you make your first mortgage payment.

High quality is something awardwinni­ng Royale Properties, which has been building exceptiona­l homes for over three generation­s now, is known for. What makes Gabriola Park a unique addition to its portfolio?

For starters, the 153 threeand four-bedroom townhomes comprising Gabriola Park enable owners to live the way people did in the “good old days” when the homes were built to last — when children could play in the woods near their backyard and when everything from schools to shops was within easy walking distance.

Gabriola Park is a rare offering that borders Langley’s future Yorkson Park and protected Yorkson Creek with pathways and natural greenbelt, while homes on the south end are built around a lush courtyard with a grassy knoll. Together with two private entries to the property, Gabriola Park’s design echoes that of a gated community, but one with the friendly feel of cottage country.

Although Gabriola Park is tucked away from major roads, homeowners can easily walk to the retail hub of Willoughby Town Centre, The Langley Events Centre, and a variety of gyms and shops, tennis courts, golf courses, and parks. Plus, the nearby Carvolth Exchange provides direct transit access to downtown Vancouver and other Metro Vancouver destinatio­ns, as does Highway 1, Fraser Highway and Highway 10 for those who commute by vehicle.

Developed with families in mind, Gabriola Park is also situated close to high-calibre education institutio­ns, including Willoughby elementary and the Walnut Grove School of Music and Dance.

Of course, the homes themselves are an integral part of the Gabriola Park experience. They range in size from 1,397 to 2,214 square feet with several different layouts to choose from, showcasing spacious, airy interiors and nine-foot ceilings complement­ed by large windows.

Special highlights include spainspire­d master ensuites and openconcep­t kitchens that combine functional­ity with outstandin­g visual appeal, augmented by contempora­ry pendant lighting and quartz countertop­s.

Gabriola Park also includes something that Jamie Squires, vicepresid­ent of Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing Ltd., notes is rare to this kind of residentia­l developmen­t. “We have two two-level masteron-main homes, each with sideby-side garages and double-height living areas,” she says. “Given that we’re currently in the fourth phase of sales, we don’t anticipate these exclusive homes to be available for much longer.”

Gabriola Park epitomizes the sought-after lock-and-go lifestyle: You can go down south for three to six months of the year and not have to worry about yard maintenanc­e, as would be the case in a single-family home.
