Kin at Schonsee
setting down new roots in
the northeast by PePPer rodriguez
In the heart of the new northeast, growth is the long-range forecast. New families have taken to the fresh, dynamic, young communities that have blossomed mostly along Anthony Henday Drive and 187 Avenue NW. What used to be a more industrial part of the city is now gaining a reputation for the wide range of family-friendly, nature-centric, amenity-rich residential communities that are found in this New Northeast Many offer designs centred on nature and recreation that offer residents an environment they can enjoy and a shared space they can meet their neighbours. But the astounding array of housing options, offered in prices to fit almost any budget, is what the New Northeast has become known for. Crystallina Nera by Genstar and Citadel by Hopewell Residential are among the best-selling young communities here. And one of the latest ones, Kin at Schonsee, has been so successful it has been 100 percent sold out to third party homebuilders, its developers say. 16

“We are welcoming our first residents in April 2022,” says Jesse LaFrance of JLDevelopments, Kin at Schonsee’s developer. Genstar says a little over half of Crystallina Nera has been developed and that over 3,000 residents already call the community home. Crystallina Nera is a vibrant and dynamic neighbourhood with housing options for everyone. It is ideally located with quick access to 82 Street, 66 Street and the Anthony Henday. Crystallina has ample green space with an urban forest and kilometers of walking trails winding through the community and around stormwater management ponds. The first commercial site is under construction and the Shell Gas Bar and Carwash is now open. It has an appealing range of home types from front-attached garage homes on traditional lots or zero lot lines from the $500,000s, laned homes from the high $400,000s and townhomes from the $400,000s. Citadel by Hopewell Residential has also been a favourite among new home buyers, as it offers a
diverse range of lifestyle-oriented, first-time homebuyer and move-up homes. Hopewell Residential is the land developer and a builder in this community just off 153 Avenue and Victoria Trail NW. Citadel is surrounded by plentiful amenities, including shopping centres, parks and recreational facilities helping it achieve its vision as a family-friendly community. The Fraser Community League and Park is just two minutes away and accessibility is no problem as it is close to Anthony Henday Drive
