One of the benefits of buying a new home in a master-planned community is that you know exactly what you’re getting: the amenities, the accessibility of local shops and services and the style and building quality, not just of your own home, but also of the homes around you.
Knowing all this before signing on the dotted line can take much of the uncertainty out of the process.
New Haven, a collection of single-family homes at Onni Group’s Tsawwassen Landing, is a prime example of an opportunity to buy into a master-planned community where everything has been worked out ahead of time.
“We’re able to guide the vision of what we want the community to be and have a cohesive design throughout the neighbourhood,” said Andrew Joblin, regional sales manager at Onni Group.
“We’re developing more than just single-family homes here,” Joblin added. “We have townhomes that we’ve already released and are under construction and there will be more phases in the future. We’re essentially building a brand-new neighbourhood in Tsawwassen.”
There are two interior colour schemes to choose from, along with a range of exterior styles and colours.
Kitchens come with flat-panel or Shaker-style cabinetry with soft-close mechanisms on all doors and drawers. There are polished white quartz countertops and matching backsplashes, built-in pantries and energy-efficient under-cabinet lights.
Master ensuite bathrooms feature flat-panel or Shaker-style ‘floating’ vanity cabinetry with polished quartz countertops and backsplashes. The showers have floor-to-ceiling tiled walls and shower bases and oversized rain heads with adjustable hand sprays. Ensuites also include soaker tubs, large-format porcelain tiles on the heated floors and enclosed toilet rooms with frosted glass privacy doors.
But it’s not just the quality of the homes at Tsawwassen Landing that is drawing interest from buyers. Joblin notes that Tsawwassen has more sunny days and fewer rainy days than anywhere else in Metro Vancouver and notes that the area around Tsawwassen Landing is rich in outdoor amenities that include parks, beaches and golf courses. It’s also only 30 minutes by car to Vancouver and close to every kind of urban amenity at the Tsawwassen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons shopping malls.
“We’ve had everything from downsizers looking for a maintenance-free new home to younger people with kids looking to move up from a smaller space and accommodate a growing family,” said Joblin. “Downsizers have been telling us they just don’t want to deal with having to maintain a house that maybe needs a new roof or a new kitchen. They really like the idea of moving into a beautiful, brand-new house that has lower maintenance costs attached.”
The first phase of single-family homes at New Haven is scheduled to be complete in early 2020.
