Homes by Avi is a well-known name in Calgary; a name that is synonymous with beauty, style and outstanding customer service.

Many know this home builder for the beautiful single family homes they build, but ever since Homes by Avi established its multi-family division in 2002, Avi Urban has quickly become an award-winning and renowned builder in its own right. Homes by Avi currently holds the Calgary Multi-Family Builder of the Year title and their StoneWater project is a SAM Finalist this year for Best Multi-Family Community Award.

Of course there are a lot of good reasons that StoneWater in Lake Chaparral has been so well-received. Comprised of contemporary and stylish town homes with a West Coast inspired elevation style, StoneWater is located in the final phase of Lake Chaparral, one of south Calgary’s foremost lake communities. These beautiful homes all come standard with warm hardwood and attractive ceramic floors, stainless steel appliances and washer and dryer. As well, the main floor boasts nine-foot ceilings and a gorgeous gas fireplace with mosaic tile-surround.

StoneWater offers an array of eco-friendly inclusions such as Low-E windows, a high-efficiency furnace and a high-output high-efficiency hot-water tank and R-40 insulation. Homes by Avi also utilizes eco-friendly building materials and practices to ensure that each home is as healthy on the inside as it is for the environment.

Right now, one of the greatest things about the 142 unit StoneWater project is that the 20 plus homes that are left are all ready to move into right away. This feature is one of the things that Neil Wilson and his fiancée Lindsay Kelly, current owners of a StoneWater townhome, are very happy with.

“When we decided to buy our home everything in the house was ready to go,” says Wilson. “It was only three weeks from the time that we made our decision, to the day that we moved in.” Now that the couple is settled in, they couldn’t be happier. “We went with the Spring Lane floor plan; about 1,326 square-feet, and the size is just perfect for us,” says Wilson. “As soon as we saw it, we wanted it. We’re very picky people so if we like something we want it right away, and in this case that was no problem.” The couple agreed that the standard features were great and the location was perfect for them. “This is a great community and the amenities are endless,” says Wilson.

“However what we really liked was how easy it was for us to get to and from work. I commute to Strathmore and my fiancé works downtown and with the 22X and the C-train so accessible it’s great.” Wilson says that the people at Homes by Avi were really nice, very friendly, and knowledgeable, but at the same time he liked that there was no pressure to buy. “We were very happy with the whole experience,” says Wilson. “When our friends come to visit they are very impressed, especially with how spacious our home is.”

These homes are amazingly priced for today’s market.  Prices start from the $260,000s plus GST, but act quick as these prices are only available for a limited time. There are currently three different floor plans to choose from with sizes ranging from 1,264 to 1,460 square-feet. The remaining homes offer single or double-attached garages, with the majority of them overlooking the fully landscaped, central courtyard. Offering a wide array of community amenities including full lake privileges, residents of StoneWater can enjoy the benefits of lake-community living and an abundance of year-round outdoor activities.
