There are many things to consider when buying a new-build home. The price is a big one. The floor plan is another. Then you have things like construction quality, the reputation of the builder, the fixtures and finishes and the completion time for the development.
But according to Deborah Calahan, vice-president of sales and marketing at Morningstar Homes, there’s one thing that trumps all those considerations in the case of Roslyn Ridge, her company’s latest single-family development in Maple Ridge: location.
“I know location, location, location sounds cliched, but it really is the highlight for this project,” Calahan said. “The homes are exceptional, of course, but when people look for a home, the first consideration is always the location.”
Roslyn Ridge is Morningstar Homes’ fourth project in Maple Ridge, and Calahan said the company has seen people who bought into some of these earlier developments showing an interest in buying again in the area. This is perhaps not surprising, given that the community map for the development lists no fewer than 36 schools, local amenities and shopping centres.
“At Roslyn Ridge, you’ve got super easy access to all the major thoroughfares right at your doorstep, but it really is tucked away in nature,” Calahan said. “Most of the homes back on to greenbelt, so there’s a lot of privacy and green space…I used to think Maple Ridge was far away but it really isn’t, especially now that we have the Golden Ears Bridge.”
The 84 single-family homes at Roslyn Ridge will have either three or four bedrooms and will range in size from 3,065 to 3,215 square feet. Every home includes an unfinished basement, and buyers can pay extra to have their basement finished, either with extra rooms for the main home or as self-contained suites.
Kitchens will have stainless-steel Samsung appliance packages, quartz countertops, huge islands and ceramic backsplashes with accent tiles.
Bathrooms feature dual vanity sinks, soaker tubs in main bathrooms and extra-large showers in master ensuites. There are quartz countertops and ceramic tiles on the floors.
At Roslyn Ridge, prospective buyers can view not only show home, but four.
“What makes us different is that when you go to a Morningstar project, you’re going to see each model of home demonstrated,” Calahan said. “This time, we have four basic plans and all four homes will be on display for people to walk through – it’s not about showing you one house and the others on paper.
“Our approach takes time and it’s expensive to do, but we believe it’s important because that way people can get a feel of what they’ll actually be living in and what suits their needs. When you’re making one of the biggest decisions of your life, it’s important to know that you’ve made the right one.
