For dog owners and families, that is a genuine reason to choose it over somewhere else.

Buying new here

As with any newer community, most sales are new or close to it, so think new-build, what is included versus an upgrade, the lot premium, the Manitoba New Home Warranty, and GST on a new build. Any attached home or townhome will have a condo corporation, so check its fees and rules. On a resale, confirm what has been done since the build and that it was permitted.
