ON THE COVER 54 Hampstead at Silver Ridge: Top-notch home ownership in a family-friendly neighbourhood Buying a new home can seem like a daunting task, with endless choices and decisions to be made without the aid of a crystal ball. Buying a home with Portrait Homes is a shining example of how this experience can be enjoyable, educational, entirely customer focused and easy.
FEATURED DEVELOPMENTS 30 The Village at Southwood: Private family neighbourhood with enviable urban convenience The new Village at Southwood in South Surrey is a can’t-miss opportunity for families who want convenience — but also a traditional residential neighbourhood environment.
58 Montgomery Acres: A peaceful community with a spectacular country location If home is where the heart is, than homeowners are loving Montgomery Acres. The growing, creekside community of modern, single-family homes has almost sold out Phase 1, and is now releasing its Phase 2 homes.
60 Village Green: Modern family living in a peaceful countryside setting Private yet close-to-town, Village Green is a new residential community offering the peace and quiet of country living and convenience of city living.
IN THE COMMUNITY 20 Discover Abbotsford: Living in and around city centre Abbotsford is big by Lower Mainland standards, and even provincially so: this is the largest city by area in British Columbia. But big doesn’t always equal busy, and in this case, the hustle and bustle of urban life is fairly confined to the city centre.
50 Maple Ridge Community Profile: Urban living on nature’s doorstep Maple Ridge has a long-standing history in farmland and family values. 140 years ago, a group of settlers met at a local farm and made the decision to incorporate, to provide a stable home and economic base for their children, grandchildren and future generations yet to come.

Brixton Affordability with Uncompromised Style and Convenient Location
P
arks and recreation centres, school and shopping, wide sidewalks and walking trails — a great family living area begs for plentiful amenities in close proximity from residential neighbourhoods. Brixton is a new townhome development that fits the bill perfectly: it’s a wonderful community of modern, spacious homes in an established area with lots of nearby options for family fun, exercise and outdoor pursuits, and a full range of restaurants, shops and services with plentiful free parking.
Homes are offered in a number of floor plans with both 2- and 3-bedroom layouts available, and some with additional recreation rooms. All the homes include the convenience of a guest powder room, the spacious feel of wide plank flooring and the luxurious style of modern pendant lighting to highlight the quartz countertops of the kitchen island. Oversized windows bring warmth and natural light into living spaces, and the entire development is adjacent to a protected greenbelt, with many homes enjoying fenced backyards overlooking expansive green space.
Brixton townhomes are centrally located in the “convenience plus” Panorama neighbourhood. Situated in the south-central area of Surrey, this “The property has been beautifully landscaped to ensure residents can community offers great amenities such as the Surrey YMCA for recreaenjoy the outdoors today — trees and greenery have a lush, mature tion and sports and the Bell Performing Arts Centre for entertainment. appearance.

utmost in convenience. The main floor offers the incredible convenience of a coffee shop / bistro, the first three floors are designated for commercial space that will include a pharmacy and medical offices, and above is several floors of luxury condominium homes,” says Rob Delves, sales and development manager with Quantum Properties, a local developer based in Abbotsford. Communities immediately surrounding Mill Lake include South Clearbrook, Babich, Abbotsford Centre and the new U-District (adjacent to UFV lands). The same idea of densification is being applied to new developments throughout the central core areas. With a lack of available space to branch out, an internal focus on multi-use development in existing neighbourhoods will allow for the convenience of shops and services to arrive along with new residential opportunities.
“The downtown area is continuing to grow significantly, and attracting new developments, businesses and jobs. This historic neighbourhood is a great place to live, work, and play, and our new Abacus Uptown condominium homes are part of that equation,” says Delves. “Total convenience and a great price point, right in the thick of it, within a few minutes’ walk to shops, restaurants and a host of convenient amenities.”

The further from the core, the newer the neighbourhoods, with the outliers first under development 20-25 years ago, and closer in, new residential communities came to life 30-40 years past. Occasional opportunities crop up for something off centre, such as new development on Sumas Mountain. Located to the east of the entire city centre, a 91,000 sq.ft commercial development has provided a convenient anchor for increased residential home growth. This budding area of single-family homes and multi-family developments maintains convenient access to Highway 1 via Whatcom Road. This quieter, residential-based area is remote from downtown Abbotsford but maintains the convenience of getting into town.

Maple Ridge Urban Living on Nature’s Doorstep aple Ridge has a long-standing history in farmland and family values. 140 years ago, a group of settlers met at a local farm and made the decision to incorporate, to provide a stable home and economic base for their children, grandchildren and future generations yet to come. They were a practical lot: they named their new municipality after the long line of maple trees that ran along the ridge of the farm where they met that day.
These days, Maple Ridge remains innovative, but with some decidedly modern touches. The city is less defined by the boundaries of neighbouring farms, and could be likened to the roll of a dice in a Vegas game. Each roll may reveal a different side, but each number become someone’s lucky day. The many sides of Maple Ridge are equally suited to young urban professionals, growing families, empty nesters and outdoor enthusiasts of every age.
Maple Ridge isn’t about a place to hang your hat — this is a place to live, work and play. New residential communities are appearing to the east of the downtown area, spanning from Fraser River’s edge, up north toward Golden Ears Provincial Park. Each community has a unique appeal to its residents, but a common thread tying them together: newer neighbourhoods are being planned to embrace nature and live within the current environment. Communities aren’t simply working around old-growth trees and winding rivers; they are incorporating these features into overall environment and creating homes that complement the great outdoors. Hampstead at Silver Ridge is an example of this: conceived by Portrait Homes, this is one of the first “eco-cluster” developments in Western Canada. The community was developed with an integrated storm water management system that provides natural solutions to rain water filtration. The system manages rain water while also preserving natural coastal rain forest habitat. Located just west of the southern tip of Golden Ears Park, it is surrounded by lush greenery with frequent visits by friendly wildlife.
“We moved to Maple Ridge earlier this year. Our family was expanding and we wanted a home with lots of space to raise our children. There were many reasons to make the move further east: great prices for larger homes with nicely sized yards,” says Tonya Becenko, registered nurse and mom of two toddlers. “We were initially anxious about our work commutes to Delta and New Westminster, but we’ve discovered “The green space really draws people in, and the location away from lots of options, both tolled and not.” busy roads is very popular with young families,” says Sue Rutledge, Getting in and out of Maple Ridge is a breeze by private vehicle or VP sales and marketing with Portrait Homes. “Nature is truly on mass transit, thanks to the new Golden Ears Bridge and commuter- your doorstep here; residents commonly spot deer wandering in friendly West Coast Express. Moving around the city is simplified the distance.” by the Lougheed Highway that stretches out across the south, and Dewdney Trunk Road reaching across middle ground.

Cliffstone Cliffstone is a new community of single family homes in Maple Ridge that will appeal to young families and empty nesters alike. Conveniently accessed from Kanaka Way via Lougheed Highway, the location provides commuters a quick route via the handy Golden Ears Bridge, as well as an easy drive to downtown Maple Ridge. Offered by Foxridge Homes, a division of Qualico, Cliffstone comprises 47 single family homes in an attractive community setting, with lots of greenery and beautiful views. A second phase of construction will add 26 non-strata row homes to add another price point to potential Cliffstone residents.
WynnRidge Located in a distinct country setting in one of Maple Ridge’s most sought-after areas, Wynnidge captures the true essence of family living. Walking trails and beautiful mountain vistas are right outside your door at Kanaka Creek Regional Park, and these 3 & 4 bedroom craftsman-inspired single family homes are priced from $559,900 with features that include open concept floorplans, oversized porches, loads of natural light and kitchens that are perfect for entertaining.
>> continued from page 50
Heading south, at points between Dewdney Trunk Road and Lougheed Highway, the Kanaka Creek area is another hotspot for new residential communities. Kanaka Creek Regional Park is an amazing stretch of parkland that is truly accessible for outdoor recreation. Relatively narrow and long with the creek running through it, the park provides an abundance of green space with trails for hiking, biking and just getting outside. New communities are being developed close enough to consider it their backyard’s second cousin, but not so close to disturb the scenery. Montgomery Acres is such a community; nestled on the doorstep of Kanaka Creek Regional Park and surrounded by the beauty of old-growth forest. The site is immediately adjacent to walking trails, Kanaka creek, and nature views, and a short distance to Allouette Lake and the Fraser River. This Epic Homes community has been built on the premise of modern home design and conveniences in a traditional, family-friendly neighbourhood. Heading further south, Maple Ridge ends at the Fraser River, and this is proving to be another option for a nature-inspired habitat for humans. Falcon Homes’ Reflections on the River is in the historic River Road area, next door to the recently renovated Billy Miner Ale House and Café. Same as their new neighbours to the north, these homes were designed for maximum benefit of the environment. The majority of these condominium homes have full water views, optimally enjoyed by expansive decks and patios. From south on the Fraser, to meandering along Kanaka Creek, to the great green farmlands in northern Maple Ridge, the story remains the same. New communities are in locations that feel “remote” thanks to untouched forests and plentiful green spaces. Yet, each couldn’t be more convenient with easy access to major transportation routes and urban amenities. The “secret urban neighbourhoods” of Maple Ridge provide a wonderful opportunity to live in a convenient paradise. The value is shown in the great price points of homes in the area, in comparison to other Lower Mainland locations. But the greater, long-term value may be in the no-compromise lifestyle of urban neighbourhoods in the great outdoors.

Village Green Modern Family Living in a Peaceful Countryside Setting
A
modern family home in a friendly neighbourhood, equally close to conveniences and country-fresh air. Hardly a dream — this is indeed the best of both worlds in the growing city of Maple Ridge. Private yet close-to-town, Village Green is a new residential community offering the peace and quiet of country living and convenience of city living. Opening this past April, homes are already over 50 percent sold, a true testament to the value and appeal of these “country modern” homes.
Homes at Village Green are all three-bedroom. Five different floor plans are available, and all are two-story designs which allows for the convenience of direct entry from the secure garage onto the main floor. The two-story layout brings a spacious quality reminiscent of a single-family home, and with the wider footprint, also provides a bigger backyard. The homes have a wonderfully traditional feel, with front porches and country modern architectural design providing a true sense of “arrival” for visiting guests and residents returning home.
Village Green is located near the end of a quiet no-thru street in Maple Ridge, with lots of room for kids to get outside and play. Surrounding scenery is green and more green, from the tall coniferous trees protected during the new build, to the neighbouring agricultural land reserves providing protected farmlands to the north, east and west. Dewdney Trunk Road is close by, keeping the commute for work or pleasure both quick and convenient.
Interior design provides a modern take on traditional design, for a stylish look that feels like home on first glance. Open-concept, gourmet kitchens are anchored by the classic appeal of shaker-style cabinetry and the luxury of quartz countertops and contemporary pendant lighting over islands. All homes include a full complement of upgraded stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, and some homes include an expansive pantry, an uncommon yet highly desirable feature.
“We’re near, but just off from everything. This location offers a serene and private home environment, as it is surrounded by farm land,” says Jeanie Fox, sales manager at Village Green. “Essential shopping is nearby, and we’re not too far from downtown, but the local area also provides opportunity to buy farm-fresh eggs and to pick up some produce at nearby fruit stands.”
The interiors at Village Green are available in a Light or Dark designer colour scheme, with warm laminate hardwood throughout the main floor, and comfortable cut pile carpet upstairs. Bathrooms are a modern-classic design with maple shaker cabinetry, framed mirrors and frameless glass shower in the ensuite / deep soaker tub in the main.
