Real Estate Trends

Growth of the area continues so there are ample new construction options as well as existing resale homes built from 2008 when the development started.  Types of home construction for the most part include two-storey, cab-over, bungalow (including walk-out), however there are custom builders within the area that also will build to a buyer's taste.  There are still lakefront, forest backing, or regular building lots.  The median price within the neighbourhood was around $450,000 in 2019, however there have been several homes in the past few years that have sold over $1 million, some selling closer to $2 million.  Homes here start in the range of $315,000 for an attached-style home (townhouse, or single family attached).  There are also a variety of condominium offerings in the area including townhouse units and apartment units.  These range in price from $180,000 up to $600,000.
