Downsizing urban style close to nature

The Craftsman Condos in Clarkson Village

For retirees looking for an adult lifestyle community that offers urban amenities and conveniences, you can’t beat The Craftsman Condominium Residences in Clarkson Village of Mississauga.

“The Craftsman is in a very quaint area of Clarkson with higher-end homes, where there are few options for those looking to downsize, particularly on a single floor,” says Jessica Frutti, sales project manager for VANDYK group of companies, developer and builder of The Craftsman. “It has the features that retirees in Clarkson and south Oakville are looking for — turnkey maintenancefree living, modern open-concept units each with a balcony or terrace, lots of high-end finishes that come standard, and a mid-rise exterior design that really suits the community of Clarkson.”

Another appealing feature for city dwellers is The Craftsman’s proximity to all the urban amenities. “You can walk to Lake Ontario’s waterfront trails in nine minutes, Clarkson GO station in 15 minutes and be downtown in less than 30 minutes,” says Frutti. “The Craftsman is close to restaurants, shops, golf courses, tennis clubs and highways. But it also has plenty of green space, walking trails and parks for residents to enjoy.”

It’s certainly a huge hit with local residents ready to make the commitment to downsize.

Still in the pre-construction stage with occupancy scheduled for December 2017, the 292 units in The Craftsman are already more than 50 per cent sold. “We’ve recently released new, larger-sized units — The Laurent at 1,490 square feet and The Westcott at 1,292 square feet. Both floor plans include two bedrooms plus a den and two bathrooms.”

Prices for condos at The Craftsman start at $299,990 and go up to just over $1 million. If you’re ready to look at an adult lifestyle community that offers the best of both worlds — a natural setting with a downtown flair — check out The Craftsman at craftsmancondo.com.
