One community in particular has captured the hearts and imaginations of many a new homeowner and is continuing to grow and provide a safe and secure neighbourhood for families and singles alike. Garrison Green offers old-fashioned community charm in the form of boulevards lined with stately trees, nostalgic front porches and an abundance of park space. Aspire Condo Living by Jayman offers all the charm and beauty of a single family home wrapped up in exquisite two-storey townhouses.

The Newbury is an exclusive development of luxury townhomes designed to ensure that residents live the highest quality lifestyles with every imaginable amenity; both inside and outside of their home. Marlene Crews, Area Sales Manager for the Newbury, says that this beautiful development has now entered into its second phase just east of the show suites. “The Craftsman Edition includes incredible interior details, the exterior is designed in the Craftsman-style,” says Crews. “The Craftsman Edition has amazing floor plans, in this phase all the suites face onto Buffalo Park, a large green space.”

This design not only offers a great view, but ensures owners the privacy that goes along with not looking directly across the street at your neighbours. Instead, the Newbury Craftsman Edition gives you the opportunity to meet your neighbours on either side of you while enjoying coffee.

Crews says that Garrison Green is classified as an inner-city neighbourhood and as such offers proximity to the downtown core as well as being very close to some other fantastic amenities. “The Newbury is only nine minutes from downtown and in addition to being within walking distance to Mount Royal College, there are established public, separate and private schools,” says Crews. “Also within walking distance is the fabulous year-round farmers’ market at the old Currie Barracks.” Another great feature of the Garrison Green location is that it is surrounded by parkland and is close to the mountains; a definite bonus for the avid skier or those who just enjoy the majestic Rockies.

The Craftsman Edition of the Newbury, which is now open, offers four different floor plans. The Ashton, the Devon, and the Berkley offer plans that include a double Master design, two bedrooms plus a library. There is also the Essex, which features three bedrooms plus a rumpus room. These homes range in size from 1712 to 1850 square feet, not including the basement development that comes standard with each home. Prices will be starting in the high  $600,000s and are worth every penny. The existing show homes will still be used to sell the new phase as the floor plans remain the same. The Ashton showhome includes warm hardwood flooring, elegant archways and a beautiful lower development with games / rumpus room. Upstairs visitors will love the double Masters; each with its own luxurious four-piece ensuite and spacious walk-in closets. The Devon can be remembered from its sumptuous Dining room, spacious kitchen its amazing sunken living room. One of the more quaint features in this show home is the porthole window in the Master walk-in that allows light to filter into this spacious closet. As you enter the last show home, the Berkley, you will be awestruck by the amazing foyer and living room. Fabulous windows stretch between the main level and the lower developed level that is visible from the foyer. In loft-style the living room is open to below on either side of the incredible fireplace. The design of the Berkley is much more contemporary than the others, but is sure to catch your attention with its crisp clean lines and open spaces. The Essex is the largest plan available that features large, very bright windows viewing onto the park from a corner lot.

Each Craftsman Edition home still includes amazing standards like the developed basements and main-floor fireplaces. As well, each unit includes a private courtyard with gas outlets for barbeques, and a double detached garage to ensure plenty of parking.
