Chestermere’s Westmere Gardens
Offers Great Quality Of Life
Westmere Gardens is taking the Chestermere Lake residential scene by storm with families and young professionals alike looking for a quality lifestyle just outside the bustle of the big city.
Westmere Gardens features 38 semi-detached estate style condominiums in a wide range of sizes from the Willowdale, starting at 1,669-square-feet, to the expansive Springside floor plan, offering 2,154-square-feet of luxurious living space.
Melinda Merkle, Reid Built Homes’ sales representative for Westmere Gardens, says this popular condo project is great lifestyle choice for a variety of people.
“The type of people who are buying are families who want to spend time with their children at the lake swimming, having picnics and skating in the winter,” Merke says, adding the homes are also being purchased by young career-focused individuals. “This development is popular with young professionals who are busy with careers and value the time they have off, doing what they want, rather than having to maintain a home.”
With prices starting in the low $400,000s, these duplex homes are perfect for those looking to live in a small community just outside of Calgary, featuring a 750-acre lake, 18-hole golf course and a community arena for hockey and curling. More and more Calgarians are looking to Chestermere Lake as their new home.
“It still has a small-town feel, but is only minutes to Calgary,” says Merkle, adding that for those working downtown, Cardinal Coach lines offers a daily pick-up and drop-off to downtown, making their commute trouble-free.
Many of the condos boast west-facing backyards with mountain views, double-front garages with two remote openers and maintenance-free living. The lawns are mowed and the snow shovelled, so your time is your time. Various models are available, including those with sunshine basements, walkouts and level lots. All units offer three bedrooms, while the Greenridge and Springside models also include a bonus room, for the ultimate in space and comfortable living.
Fourteen of the 38 units, all of which feature beautiful, detailed exteriors and grilled windows, are at varies stages of construction. Interior colours and optional upgrades are available on the semi-detached homes, depending on the stage of construction. All basements feature roomy, nine-foot-high ceilings and have been fitted with rough-in plumbing for those who are keen to fully develop the downstairs areas.
Westmere Gardens is located in the finished southwest corner of Melcor Developments’ Westmere at Chestermere Lake, and within walking distance of both public and Catholic elementary schools. A playground and tot lot are right across the street from the project.
“Sales are going well, with ten of the 38 units sold and five more on hold. That leaves only 23 opportunities to live in Westmere Gardens. We have express homes that are available for quicker possession,” says Merkle. CL
