community that offers homebuyers easy access to a wealth of amenities.

The sleek, contemporary home designs, so popular in the GTA, bring
modern sophistication to Newmarket for the first time. Elegant stonework, decorative windows, private glass balconies and covered front porticos are just a sampling of the design features that distinguish these homes. Beautifully crafted interiors are equally impressive and offer open concept floorplans. Designed for today’s growing families, Esprit townhomes come in an array of sizes, with models up to 2,532 sq. ft., and three bedroom plus den or optional fourth bedroom designs available. Within Esprit, there is a proposed public elementary school. Residents are also right next to an existing park, with meandering pathways, and people can also stroll along a large sparkling pond. Just to the north, residents have access to more pathways along water features, as well as lush forest lands. “What’s so unique about Esprit is that it offers homebuyers the best of country and city living,” Reid says. “Every amenity is close at hand, yet Esprit has a quiet country setting, with greenspace and plenty of opportunity to enjoy the outdoors.” MoneySense has consistently ranked Newmarket as one of the top 25 Places to Live in Canada. The Town’s central location is perfect for those who commute, with easy access to Highway 404, GO Train and GO Bus services, and the recently completed Viva bus rapidway along Davis Drive. There are excellent schools in the area, including the prestigious St. Andrew’s College, just 15 minutes south in Aurora. Popular attractions include Fairy Lake Park, which hosts several festivals and community events throughout the year.
