Our Sales Team Talks About the Community

Friday, March 11th, 2011

Our sales team can’t quite get over how rapidly the area around Glenmore and Highland Park has transformed into a vibrant and accessible neighbourhood.

Connie, one of our sales representatives at Glenmore, recently returned from her maternity leave, and she was quite struck by the community’s development in the past year: “Everything is so close by and accessible. It’s like being downtown, but it’s much more peaceful.”

Amanda and Victoria, sales representatives from Glenmore and Highland Park respectively, are equally taken by the area’s urban vibe.

“When I think back to 2008 when I first started working out here, I am absolutely amazed as to the amount of development, both commercial and residential,” comments Victoria. “This area has not only developed, but has been transformed into a beautiful community, rich with amenities, home and shopping.”

“With the amount stores and amenities nearby, it’s become the suburbia Yaletown,” remarks Amanda.

The feedback our team has received from potential homeowners like you has been overwhelmingly positive as well.

People continue to comment that they really appreciate the fact that they can walk across the street and get a cup of coffee. And still have access to wonderful schools and beautiful parkways.

Then there are, of course, the homes.

We’re pretty fond of the two-bedroom plus den homes now available at Glenmore They’re in a great location and have spacious yards. And clearly you are too, only a handful remains.

The three-bedroom B1 plan at Highland Park has also been much admired. The open-concept layout and vaulted ceilings create a spacious, single-family home feel. And the master ensuite features a full five-piece bathroom.

Most of all, you appreciate the fact that our finishings are a representation of the area itself – a blend of “traditional living with a modern twist.” Thanks for noticing.

It is something about the area that captivated us right away, and prompted us to move on this location.

Keep checking in, we will continue to keep you up-to-date about this burgeoning community. And our sales team is always available to chat about the neighbourhood.

Five Advantages of Townhome Living

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

Simply put, townhomes are a great alternative to single-family homes. Here are just five of the benefits that might make choosing a home at Glenmore or Highland Park the perfect option for you.

The Club

Imagine lying out by a sun-drenched outdoor pool – take a dip at your leisure. Or waking up each morning and hitting the fitness room for a bit of cardio. Feel like a game of pool with the boys? No problem, invite them around for a crack at the billiards table. Living at Glenmore and Highland Park affords the opportunity to be part of a community, and its community amenities in the form of The Club. It’s private club facilities with backyard convenience.

Less Exterior Maintenance
The amount of exterior maintenance on a townhome is often drastically reduced simply because there is a dwelling on one or more sides of the home. Tending to the siding on just the front and back of your home can save a lot of time and money, which means more time to spend with family and friends. And with a few more pennies in your pocket, you might even be able to spend some of that time saved away on vacation!

Affordability
Speaking of pennies… Choosing to purchase a townhome definitely affords you more house for your money. Our two-bedroom plus den homes at Glenmore are starting at just $338,900*. Our efficient use of space gives you the most square footage possible. You’ll be hard pressed to find a single-family home with similar square footage for that price near this vibrant neighbourhood.

Spacious Layouts
With two floors of living space, plus a full garage with storage, the townhomes at Glenmore and Highland Park afford plenty of room for you to not just live, but live well. Enter your home through your own front door. Throw a dinner party, and have room for a full dining table. Let guests mingle in the living room while you prepare the appies – the open-concept floorplan is ideal for entertaining. There’s even a powder room on the main floor, so guests can have the opportunity freshen up.

Outdoor Living
Of course, the chance to get outside and enjoy your own yard has to be one of the more compelling reasons for townhome living. In the spring months, take to the soil and tackle a manageable plot of land to plant your spring bulbs. When summer arrives, you can look forward to pulling out the barbeque and a lawn chair or two for a summer feast. Sounds pretty good, doesn’t it?

Merge the conveniences of a single-family home and condo living at Glenmore and Highland Park.

Living Here, You Might Actually Like Commuting

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

Commuting can be such a drag. It adds extra time to the workday, treacherous driving conditions can leave you feeling frazzled and tired, and unless you’re taking to the road like a NASCAR racer (which we certainly hope is not the case) it isn’t incredibly exhilarating.

That’s why so many of our new homebuyers are thrilled about Glenmore and Highland Park’s excellent location. A short 10-minute stroll to Grandview Corners will bring you to the coffee shop, the kitchen store, the salon and more. But it’s Glenmore and Highland Park’s proximity to Richmond, YVR, South Surrey Park & Ride and the US border that has people leaving our sales centre with wide eyes and big smiles. We think you’ll be pleased as well.

South Surrey Park & Ride

A six-minute drive from Glenmore and Highland Park, South Surrey Park & Ride is located at King George and Hwy 99. The Park & Ride has 425 parking spaces available seven days a week. You will want to look for Bays 3 and 4, with busses heading to Bridgeport Station and the Expo Line SkyTrain.

King George SkyTrain Station

From the Park & Ride, make your way to the King George SkyTrain Station. Once you’re here, a trip downtown will take you less than an hour. Hop on the Expo Line for an exciting day trip to Science World, or venture into the heart of Gastown. King George to Waterfront takes 40 minutes, with trains running every six to eight minutes on weekends.

Richmond and YVR

A half-hour drive heading north on Highway 99 will bring you to Richmond’s city centre. Many of our homeowners’ business offices are in the heart of Richmond, so hearing about this 30-minute commute was thoroughly good news. Ten minutes further, and you’ll find yourself at Vancouver International Airport. Getting to the airport couldn’t be easier, finding the time to get away might be a bit more challenging.

US Border

Heading south over the border might just become a regular weekend occurrence. Escape for a day trip down Chuckanut Drive, shop till you drop at Tulalip’s Premium Outlets or check out the fish market at Pike Place in downtown Seattle. The Peace Arch border crossing is a mere 12 minutes away, depending on the border lineup, of course.

It’s easy to get around here.
