Sustainable Living at its Finest
Many people worry that building a new home can have a negative impact on the environment, but Devonshire Park has been specifically designed to incorporate sustainable, low-impact building techniques.
For instance, the builders have created a naturalized wetland area to act as a place for stormwater runoff. Brand-new homes also use materials and techniques that improve energy efficiency. You care about the environment, and in Devonshire Park, you’ll find a like-minded community.
A Connected Community
The homes in Devonshire Park are designed to blend with the natural surroundings. The quiet, park-like feel of the community makes you want to go out for evening walks with the family, especially if you head to the nearby parks or ponds. You’ll quickly be able to make friends with neighbours who are committed to making the community a great one.
Fantastic School Choices
If you have children, you’ll be happy to know there are a wide variety of school choices nearby. For instance, there are six schools accepting elementary-aged students and another six choices for high school. This includes a mix of public, private, and French immersion schools.
No matter where your priorities lie, you’re sure to find a school that suits your child's needs. Best of all, neighbourhood friends will not necessarily go to the same one, so your child isn't limited to making friends within his or her school or within the neighbourhood. This broadens their horizons and makes it easier to be friends with many different people.
Nearby Recreation
Those who live in Devonshire Park don’t need to travel far to have fun, either. The community is close to Kilcona Park and the Transcona Bioreserve. Both are great places to take the dog for a walk or just take a stroll in the beautiful natural surroundings.
You’ll also be close to the North Kildonan Community Centre and the Park City West Community Centre. Each one offers fitness programs, kids sports, and other community-based programs. You can even rent the space out for club meetings or birthday parties.
The Amenities You Need
A neighbourhood wouldn’t be great without a wide array of stores nearby. You don’t want to have to travel far to get your groceries or pick up the odds and ends that you inevitably need for your home.
Fortunately, Devonshire Park is conveniently situated for just about anything you might need. Regent Avenue is just a short drive away, and this main thoroughfare is home to major stores, shopping centres, and restaurants.
Commuting from Devonshire Park
There’s no doubt an easy commute can make your life better, and you’ll be happy to hear the drive from Devonshire Park to downtown Winnipeg is around 15 minutes long.
Of course, if you work some place like one of the nearby schools or the Concordia Hospital, your commute will be even shorter. This gives you time to enjoy the things that really matter in life.
Home Styles that Meet Your Family’s Needs
Devonshire Park is designed to be a family-friendly community, and you’ll find a variety of family homes. For instance, you could live in a two-storey home with a front-attached garage for convenience.
Since the community is new, you’re in a good position to snatch up one of the premium lots. Pie-shaped lots on cul de sacs, for instance, have bigger backyards, and some of the lots in Devonshire Park have backyard access to the pond.
