So you're thinking it's time for a new house and neighbourhood. You may be ready to get out of the renters' market and into first time home ownership (if so, check out our newest blog). You may be thinking it's time to down size. Maybe you're just ready for a change of scenery.
Lethbridge offers homebuyers lots of options when it comes to communities. So many, in fact, that it can be hard to make sense of which community is the best fit. To help you in your search, we've put together a few reasons to consider SunRidge.
This mixed-density community in West Lethbridge is most well known for being Canada's first entirely "green" community. You might not know that SunRidge offers homebuyers lots of other benefits as well. Here are just 10 of them to consider.
- SunRidge was designed to provide easy access to amenities, because the less driving you need to do, the better it is for sustainable living.
- Long-term plans are in place for the development of a neighbourhood commercial area that will further reduce the need for driving. Land value in this community will continue to rise steadily as its vision unfolds completely over the next several years.
- Overall, lot prices are lower in SunRidge than they are in comparable west side neighbourhoods. When you purchase a home here, you simply get "more bang for your buck". Plus, the homes we sell in SunRidge are - to be honest - a pretty spectacular place to start out.
- Buying a green home is simply cheaper to run. Less money paid in utilities is more jingle in your jeans each and every month.
- SunRidge offers an amazing amount of green space for a small community. If you love the idea of strolling through your neighbourhood on a well-lit (by solar power) trail, this is the place for you.
- The only thing that makes the green space better are the water features. Not only is there a large, natural wetland pond in the centre of the community, there is also a beautiful waterfall that skirts a playground and yes, more green space. And no matter where you live in SunRidge, it's all only moments away from your front door.
- If you prefer a neighbourhood to a "suburb", you'll love it here. That's because SunRidge is a mixed density community. People from all walks of life live here. You'll meet them having coffee on their front porches, walking their dogs or playing at one of the many green spaces with their kids. There's a "neighbourly" kind of feeling in SunRidge because there's a place for everyone here.
- SunRidge has been designed to bring people together, rather than keep them apart, turning "the people with the Nissan" into Mike, Tanya and Ethan. Garages are in the back, verandas are in the front and green space and parks are designed to connect people. When you call SunRidge home, you'll share a neighbourhood with people who care about where they live and who they share it with.
- One of the most common misconceptions about SunRidge is that it's "far away". This is so not true. SunRidge is 10 minutes from almost everything. It also happens to be very close to schools, shopping and the University of Lethbridge.
- It has to be said - SunRidge's commitment to green living just makes sense. When you choose to live here, you will live among people who share the same values about sustainable living. You'll spend less on utilities and live in a healthier environment. And you will be doing your very big part to move us all closer to a greener future.
