Homes in Waterside Estates

Waterside Estates is a newer development set among the established southeast communities of Windsor Park and Niakwa Park. Its signature is a series of walk-out lots that back onto water. The homes are larger and more recent than the mid-century streets around them, with modern two-storey designs, contemporary finishes and attached garages. You get new construction and a waterside setting inside a mature, well-served part of the city, which is an unusual combination.

New homes in an established setting

That mix is the whole point. The build is modern, but the surrounding neighbourhood already has its parks, golf, pools and green space from the older planned communities nearby. Downtown stays reasonably close. Lagimodiere Boulevard and the surrounding routes connect the area across the southeast and into the rest of the city, so a newer home here does not mean living far out on the edge.

Buying and selling here

On a newer home, confirm the remaining New Home Warranty term and review the lot grading, and on a condo or bare-land condo read the corporation documents and fees. On a walk-out or water-backing lot, pay attention to the grading, drainage and the condition of the bank or shoreline. Selling here, the modern build, the walk-out design and the water setting are what set the home apart, so make sure they show well.
