EDITOR’S NOTE

HELP FROM THE EXPERTS It’s not often we get the opportunity to receive expert advice for free. Sure we can surf the net and ask Google questions, but when it comes to seeking wisdom on buying a new home, the internet is a huge landscape you can navigate for days, weeks or months.

Happily, the folks at the Homebuilders Association of Vancouver (HAVAN) understand new homebuyers’ needs, questions and areas of concern. Each year, it organizes the Homebuyers Forum and presents an impressive roster of industry experts willing to share valuable and up-to-date information. Free to attend or stream online, the seminar is a must for anyone who wants to know more about purchasing a new home.

The people at HAVAN really know their stuff. The non-profit association has been around since 1974 and represents the residential construction industry in the Greater Vancouver area. With more than 1,100 members, you can be sure its range of expertise covers the gamut of home construction and renovation.

So, what are you doing on March 6 from 4 and 8 p.m.? Why not save the date and between now and then, reserve a spot at the HAVAN Homebuyer Forum at the Hyatt Regency, Vancouver.

I promise, you won’t be sorry.

Cover Story COURT IN ABBOTSFORD

At home in amazing Abbotsford

The perfect lifestyle Where can you live close to lakes and rivers, with mountain views, surrounded by farms and pastures, yet still be walking distance from abundant shopping and dining options, in a warm, diverse and growing community? Abbotsford has quickly evolved into one of Greater Vancouver’s most desirable places to live, and it’s easy to see why. From parks and trails to arts, culture and economic opportunity, this “city in the country” just keeps 16

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 23–Mar. 9, 2019

getting better. Soon, this bustling centre will be further improved with the arrival of Court, a collection of condominium homes that will put lucky residents in the middle of everything Abbotsford has to offer.

“This is a prime location for walking and transit,” says Andrew Heinrichs, development manager at Heinrich Developments, “as well as shopping and recreational activities, as Sevenoaks Mall and Mill Lake are just a couple of

blocks away.” With a Walkscore of 86, Court residents can complete most daily errands by foot, and for bikers, the 100 kilometres of the Discovery Trail System are right at the doorstep. Getting into the city is easy on Highway 1 or the Fraser Highway, and the Abbotsford International Airport is located nearby. Community events such as Berryfest, BC Hopfest and the Art & Wine Walk draw visitors from all over Greater Vancouver.

+

With a modern, distinctive exterior featuring natural materials and brick with industrial accents, Court stands out in the neighbourhood. “We wanted to create a place where people would not only live, but enjoy spending their time here,” says Heinrichs.

“The architect David Tyrell put a lot of effort into creating spaces where the Court residents could come together as a community.”

In the centre courtyard, a raised platform invites daily stretching or yoga classes, and built-in barbecue pits draw people outside for casual summer dining. In the evenings, an innovative projector wall will host outdoor viewings of films for movie buffs.

Court has a great selection of sizes and floorplans, with the option of one- or two-bedrooms, designed to appeal to first-time homeowners, young families and investors. Suites on the ground floor feature front yards with separate entrances and upstairs, some suites have a loft-style layout. The broad range of homes all feature balconies, lots of natural light, and rooms that enable the flow of modern life.

The spacious, Scandinavianinspired living spaces have been

designed with stylish yet practical finishes like matte black nickel fixtures, stainless steel appliances, undermount sinks and polished quartz countertops in the kitchen, and double sinks on a floating vanity and frameless glass shower enclosures in the bathroom.

Developer Gerald Heinrichs grew up in Abbotsford and has been building impeccably crafted single-family and multi-family communities in the Fraser Valley and Kelowna for more than 25 years, so he’s knows the benefits of Court’s central location in this flourishing city. “Abbotsford has done a really good job of revitalizing downtown and protecting the historic background of the city. This is a great chance to own one of a great selection of new homes in a fantastic central location.”

Come experience the Court presentation centre at 33323 South Fraser Way in Abbotsford.

For more information about this highly anticipated release of unique and affordable homes, email info@courtliving.ca, call the sales team at 604.621.5888, or register at the newly launched website, Courtliving.ca.

THE RESIDENCES AT WILLOUGHBY TOWN CENTRE BEE HERE The secret’s out. Langley’s Willoughby Town Centre is a great place to live, work and play. In fact, it was named Best of the Fraser Valley at the recent 2018 UDI Awards of Excellence. And if you’re looking for a condo to call home, you’re going to want to check out The Residences at Willoughby Town Centre.

“These homes are unique in this area because they’re above ground-level retail,” says Melanie Themmen, sales manager. “That means they have the highest WalkScore in Willoughby. You can, quite literally, walk to everything you need.”

She adds that not only is this proximity to urban amenities great for first-time buyers, she’s seeing many grandparents of young families who have already purchased in the area moving 22

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 23–Mar. 9, 2019

here. “They get the lock’n’go lifestyle they want, and they’re close enough to be able to walk their grandchildren to school.”

CONTEMPORARY BY DESIGN

Floorplans at The Residences at Willoughby Town Centre are diverse, ranging from onebedroom to spacious twobedroom-plus-den. Best of all, thanks to the eye-catching, modern architectural design, almost every home has a massive covered balcony, some as large as 900 sq. ft. That’s a lot of space for year-round outdoor living and entertaining.

Inside, The Residences at Willoughby Town Centre offers all the upscale features contemporary owners insist on with some exciting new twists. Whether you prefer a classic colour palette or

you’re more adventurous — think a sleek black stainless-steel fridge — these distinctive, modern colour schemes are sure to appeal to every taste.

“A lot of time went into creating smart, highly-functional floorplans,” says Themmen.

“And we really thought about how these homes will live. For example, the master bedroom in our two-bedroom homes typically accommodates a king-sized bed, which is something many downsizers don’t want to give up.”

The Residences at Willoughby Town Centre’s presentation centre and two-bedroom display home are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at B105 – 20689 Willoughby Town Centre Drive in Langley. For more information visit beehere.com.

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 23–Mar. 9, 2019

1.

Add personality: I always recommend you include a little individualized charm. This will set you apart and let your guests get a sense of who you are. It doesn’t need to be overly extravagant but something to bring out your personality and make potential guests feel at home. Try including your favourite scented candle or a cozy throw and little notes/ instructions around the home are also a great way to connect with your guest and create memorable moments.

2.

Create an inviting space: With short-term rentals, most people look for the comforts of a real home and not a sterile hotel room.

Think about creating an inviting space with accent pillows, styled shelves and artwork. All of this can be done on a budget and with nonbreakable items. Make sure things are easily washable so you can keep things feeling fresh between guests. I have developed an entire line of washable Canadian made pillows (alcornhome.com) that are perfect for rentals – you can toss the entire pillow right into the washer and dryer, too.

3.

Minimal look, maximum return: As much as you want to make the space feel homey, you want to keep it simple and Marie Kondo approved! This way your home always looks put together and people don’t feel like they are intruding

4.

Keepin’ it fresh: Make your home stand out from the rest by keeping things fresh. Little touches like flowers or small plants that require minimal maintenance, fresh white linens and towels give that hotel clean feeling but with the comfort of home. It also looks great on camera when you’re staging the space.

5.

Lights, camera, action: A picture is worth a thousand words, when it comes to short-term rentals.

Since it’s the first thing a potential customer looks at, the quality of the photo is as important as the staging. Photos that showcase natural lighting, your design personality and cleanliness, along with ensuring they are high enough resolution, are keys to coming out on top.

6.

Hook people with words: The description you create is as important as the photos. Not only does the description allow you to show off your personality, but it allows you to bring your space to life in a way photos cannot. And make sure your photos match your description; don’t talk about the spacious bedroom on the second floor if you don’t have accompanying imagery.

7.

Protect your home: The time and effort you put into creating a welcoming space goes a long way, but as a short-term rental host, you want to make sure you protect your home. Unless your policy clearly states that shortterm rental activity is permitted, you may not be covered for short-term rental related losses.

That’s where Duuo comes in – an on-demand, episodic insurance service designed to protect shortterm rental hosts and their homes.

With Duuo, short-term rental hosts pay only for the days they want coverage, so they can rent securely and relax. You can learn more at duuo.ca.

elegant condominium homes built around a welcoming courtyard with gardens, paths and a water feature.

“The great thing about this development is that it is right in the middle of this fabulous community-oriented neighbourhood,” says Michael Sikich, president of The Agency Real Estate Marketing. “Murrayville House is in close proximity to restaurants and cafes, medical services, schools and parks.”

Surrounded by beautiful landscaping, and boasting a welcoming fountain courtyard, “This project is very low-density for this area, and has a lot of space around the building for the residents to enjoy,” explains Sikich. Looking into the future a few years, Translink’s planned rapid transit extension makes buying a home at Murrayville House a great long-term investment as well.

A great selection of homes to choose from includes the option of

one- or two-bedrooms, many with dens, in a large range of floorplans.

Murrayville House offers something for almost every type of buyer, from singles to young families to empty-nesters looking for a vibrant, neighbourhood, close to shopping and transportation.

Large balconies on the outside open into stylish interiors with high-quality finishings, from quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances and shaker cabinetry in the kitchen, to floating fireplace mantles, standard crown mouldings and gorgeous, durable flooring throughout the living areas.

THE GRAND AT WILLOW CREEK NEW VIEW ON ALDERGROVE This is it. Your final opportunity to invest in a brand-new home before the presentation centre closes at The Grand at Willow Creek.

Situated at 273rd Street and 32nd Avenue in Langley’s Aldergrove neighbourhood, this collection of 47 homes is the only new condominium development in the area, making it a fantastic opportunity to be part of a community that’s poised for growth.

“Aldergrove is now developing into a new urban hub,” says Erika Monies, sales manager. “And The Grand at Willow Creek puts you right at the centre. There’s an amazing rec centre with a waterslide just down the road. You’ve got Safeway and Starbucks across the street as well as boutique shopping, excellent schools, and an ever-expanding number of restaurants and pubs. And best of all, you can walk to everything.”

INVEST IN THE FUTURE

First-time buyers are especially responding to The Grand at Willow Creek’s exceptional value and growth potential. “This is one of the last places south of the Fraser River where you can find an affordable condominium home that’s still part of Metro Vancouver,” Monies says.

“And because you’ve got easy access to the freeway and transit, even if you work outside of Aldergrove, there are plenty of commuting options.”

Investors, too, are excited by this location. “The vacancy rate in this part of the Fraser Valley is consistently below one per cent, so there’s a large, unmet demand for contemporary, well-appointed condos.

And because you’re getting in early, the equity-building potential is better than many nearby communities that have already seen significant growth.”

BUY YOUR NEW HOME WITH HELP FROM THE EXPERTS

by STEPHANIE MACDONALD

Buying a new home is an exciting, sometimes nerve-wracking experience, especially when you’re buying sight-unseen — as in, it hasn’t even been built yet.

Fortunately, the Homebuilders Association of Vancouver (HAVAN, formerly known as the GVHBA) is here to help guide you through everything from the latest rainscreen technology to mortgage options and legal considerations.

HAVAN’s CEO, Bob de Wit, is proud of HAVAN’s long track record of helping people get into their dream home. “This is actually our 25th year delivering this seminar,” he explains, referring to HAVAN’s Homebuyer Forum 38

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 23–Mar. 9, 2019

that will take place Wed., March 6, 4 – 8 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency, Vancouver.

“Over the years, our seminar has helped more than 15,000 prospective homebuyers get onto the homeowner ladder.”

As times have changed, so has the advice. “Buying homes 25 years ago was a very different experience,” says de Wit. “Now, every buyer has the internet to help them understand the process, so that’s why our seminar focuses on the info you can’t find on the internet, like what new neighbourhoods are emerging next, where to buy if you’re an investor versus living in the home, and new creative ways to

maximize buying power.”

People who are buying have many different motivations, from getting into the market, helping out their kids get into the market, downsizing into a more maintenance-free lifestyle, to investors looking to generate income. With that in mind, HAVAN offers seminars tailored to specific buyers’ needs.

Alisa Aragon is a mortgage expert, CEO of Bridgestone Financing Pros, and on HAVAN’s board of directors. “With the current real estate market conditions and changes to mortgage rules and lending guidelines, more than ever it is important to make an informed

“

�

decision,� she says. “It’s great to be excited about purchasing your first home, but there are so many more factors to consider than just finding the lowest interest rate.

I highly recommend for anyone looking at purchasing a home to join us for this informative seminar on Financial Strategies.�

Fifth Avenue Marketing, president and CEO, W. Scott Brown, knows a thing or two about real estate in BC. “In 30 years in business if there is one thing I have learned, it’s the importance of timing,� says Scott. “Whether developing real estate, or buying or selling a home, timing must be carefully considered. Of course, timing is dictated by consumer needs and by market conditions. So, let’s take the time to discuss timing in more detail.�

Know Your Local Market and Smart Shopping seminars round out a very interactive and informative evening that homebuyers should not miss.

Speakers will share real world examples and be on hand, on their panel and in the marketplace, to answer questions. The forum will also be streamed live.

Registration is required for both in-person and online access. Go to havan.ca/event/homebuyer-forum

POPULATION GROWTH PRESSURIZES BC HOUSING MARKET

CAMERON MCNEILL

According to Statistics Canada, in October 2018, British Columbia’s population exceeded five million, the first time the province topped that number. That’s a 0.49 per cent increase in one quarter.

The 2019 MLA Intel Report forecasts the province’s population will continue to grow steadily with almost 50,000 new residents arriving this year and calling it home. In addition, a large number of international students will continue to attend universities in BC. Canada experienced a 45 per cent increase in student permits issued between 2015 to 2017, with many students staying once they complete their degrees. With job opportunities remaining high compared to other provinces, inter-provincial migration will likely remain constant over the next three years as well.

Despite the real estate market slowing down over the past months, Vancouver’s population growth clearly hasn’t. What impact will community growth have on housing options in the coming years? Within this framework, it is critical to mention that housing starts are expected to decline in Metro Vancouver over the next two years.

Increasing approval timelines adds pressure to the housing market. Increased government 44

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 23–Mar. 9, 2019

regulation and taxation, elongated development timelines, and municipal bureaucracy makes it challenging to produce housing in our cities.

Even with the stricter federal mortgage qualifications, rising interest rates, and government interventions to slow the housing market, BC’s forecasted GDP growth continues to lead all other provinces and territories.

Supply and affordability issues are at the forefront of the housing conversation in British Columbia.

This means both buyers, sellers and their agents must be creative. As some investors take the sidelines to observe market changes, new residents require somewhere to live, and we’re seeing end users once again, the main demographic of homebuyers. While 2019 will remain competitive, we expect over the coming months that purchasers will benefit from an

overall balanced market with nominal price escalation. Choice, selection and value will be on their side.

We expect BC’s fundamentals to remain stronger than elsewhere in the country. This ensures pressures on our housing market will continue. We must be progressive in our solutions to provide housing – the long-term viability of our cities depends on it.

ADVICE | HAVAN REPORT

BUYING A NEW HOME:

COMMUNITY INCLUDED BOB DE WIT

Today, new developments are most often planned communities that range from large-scale developments with hundreds of homes to private enclaves of less than 50 homes and downtown condo towers. The ideal “community” is a very personal thing that varies from person to person.

It is important to have realistic expectations and to know what 52

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 23–Mar. 9, 2019

you’re looking for before you buy.

As you visit builders’ sales offices and model homes or suites, be sure to ask about the community at the same time.

If the development is already partially built and lived in, stop to chat with people on the street, or try knocking on somebody’s door to ask a few questions.

WHO IS THE TARGET MARKET?

WHAT COMMON FACILITIES AND COMMUNITY AMENITIES ARE PLANNED?

Ask the builder or salesperson to describe the community and the homeowners it is designed for. Inquire about the mixture of homes in terms of size, styles and price range, and ask for a profile of people who have bought to date; who lives there?

Some communities, notably those aimed at mature adults and seniors, may also set criteria for who can buy in that building.

Builders and developers put a great deal of effort into planning a community that will work well for the intended residents. In a neighbourhood development, common facilities like parks and community centres might be part of the plan. In condominiums, a wide range of common amenities can be included, from health clubs

and pools, to party rooms. Ask what is planned for the community or condominium development.

The example pictured here is HAVAN developer Tien Sher’s multi-family project, Venue, located in Surrey. The 3,600-sq.ft. ‘roof park’ includes barbecues and two lounge areas, plus ample space for a round of bocce, or some yoga on the astro turf. The building’s U-shaped footprint also allows for a public yet private-feeling courtyard with meandering paths and plenty of seating. Buffered from the city noise and seamlessly integrating with previous phases, this quiet retreat encourages a more social, engaged style of living.

WHAT ON-GOING SERVICES WILL BE OFFERED?

Services provided to individual homeowners by communities vary greatly, so be sure to ask for detailed information,

including costs. In condominium developments, security and most maintenance of areas outside of your living unit will be professionally managed. In some neighbourhood developments, services like gardening and snow removal are sometimes mandatory to keep the community attractive and safe. Seniors’ developments may include health and recreational services.

MOVEMENT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY PLAN

The layout and design of a new community will affect how residents interact, which will impact your daily routine. Look for narrow or curved streets to slow down traffic, and sidewalks and pathways for pedestrians and bicycles for getting around easily and safely.

Check if shops and services are within walking distance, and note the location of schools, hospitals, and other amenities, plus access to

transportation and connections to other parts of the city.

COMMUTING TO YOUR WORKPLACE

Options for getting to and from work should be taken into consideration. If you plan to go by car, drive your commute route at rush hour to get a sense of the time involved. If you plan on using transit, find out about schedules and routes that will work for you.

FEATURE / NEW-HOME BUYING TIPS

YOUR NEW CONDO CHECKLIST RESEARCH YOUR PRE-CONSTRUCTION HOME TO AVOID UNPLEASANT SURPRISES

by STEPHANIE MACDONALD

If you’re sick of that leaky faucet, your loud neighbours and dated kitchen, you may have decided that the appeal of a shiny new home is hard to resist. So, you’ve made the decision to buy a preconstruction condo, or maybe you’re moving from a condo into a new townhome. You’ve seen dozens of presentation centres, talked to eager realtors and scouted neighbourhoods until you found the home for you – that will be ready in a year or two.

60

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 23–Mar. 9, 2019

This is an exciting time, but to make sure your experience matches your expectations, take some time to do your research. You may need to do a bit of old-fashioned detective work: Knock on doors, call the municipality and walk around existing buildings by the same developer. Here are five questions to ask to help you in your search.

WHAT’S THE DEVELOPER’S TRACK RECORD?

Most large buildings are completed by well-known developers, who have a long and proven track record.

But smaller boutique developers may not have the same experience, so ask for previous projects and talk to other residents about how it went for them.

“Take a look at their Better Business Bureau rating, the awards they have won, their references, and how long they have been in business. This will give you a good idea of the quality of their customer service,” advises Bob de Wit, CEO of The Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN).

YOU LOVE THE SHOWHOME. NOW FIND OUT WHAT COMES STANDARD, WHAT IS EXTRA, OR AFTER-MARKET

For buildings that are pre-sale or still under construction, the presentation centres feature sample bathrooms, kitchens and other rooms to give you a sense of the finishes, appliances and bathroom fixtures that will be in the finished product.

Many have whole sample suites set up by interior decorators. Make sure you know what is included in the price of each home, and what has been added by the designer as an upgrade or aesthetic. You may be on the hook for closet organizers, shelving and other items that might not seem obvious.

Find out if the developer has leeway in the contract to change details like reducing the ceiling height anywhere in the unit. Also check how the units will be heated, cooled and ventilated and the location of heating and air-conditioning equipment, ventilators and hot water heaters.

WHAT KIND OF RETAIL WILL THE BUILDING HAVE?

In a mixed-use building it may be nice to have a grocery store or a gym downstairs and it may feel like another amenity. Not so much for a nightclub or a 24-hour pizza joint (but hey, maybe that’s your lifestyle. No judgment here!)

WHAT ABOUT NOISE- AND ODOURREDUCTION MEASURES, AS WELL AS THE RAIN SCREEN TECHNOLOGY?

Ask about the energy efficiency of the homes to ascertain what your monthly bills will look like. Finally, soundproofing of the homes in a multi-family strata is crucial to your well-being. Noise is the number one annoyance in co-ownerships.

Find out the meaning of wording such as “superior soundproofing” used by developers in some marketing materials. What kind of window technology is being used? Windows can shield street noise.

WHAT ARE THE STRATA FEES? ARE THEY WORTH IT?

If the development has a full-time concierge and a pool and a gym, make sure you will realistically be taking advantage of these things, as they can be expensive. Make sure your monthly condo fees are manageable, what they include, and when they’re likely to increase. It’s also good to investigate whether there are any “hidden” costs, such as longterm leases on building fixtures, which will be passed along to owners. nexthome.ca

LOCATION Tsawwassen, Delta BUILDER Aquilini HOME TYPE Lowrise

SALES CENTRE 4275 Blue Heron Way CONTACT tsawwassenshores.com or 604.943.6677

It’s been wowing homebuyers of all ages since day one. But time is running out if you want to own a brand-new condominium residence in the heart of the Tsawwassen Shores masterplanned community.

Only the second release of condominiums in the neighbourhood, Peregrine offers amazing value plus a seaside location. “Because this is leasehold land, you get so much more for your home-buying dollar,” says Linda Broda, Aquilini’s vice-president of sales and marketing. “You’re only 10 minutes from Richmond, but it’s half the price. And you get more hours of sunshine, too.”

THE LEASEHOLD ADVANTAGE

And there are many more benefits to purchasing a leasehold property, benefits that help keep more money right where you want it – in your pocket.

These homes are GST exempt (an instant five per cent saving) and aren’t subject to either the vacancy tax or foreign buyer tax.

Best of all, since you’re paying a lower price, it’s less down payment now and a lower mortgage every month. So you can use the money you save 68

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 23–Mar. 9, 2019

toward things like securing a fund for your kids’ future education or take that dream vacation. Whatever you choose, it’s a great way to enhance your lifestyle.

GROWING COMMUNITY

“This neighbourhood is becoming such a dynamic, vibrant place to live,” says Broda. “More and more businesses are moving here all the time, including Amazon that will open a distribution hub soon. Plus, you’re walking distance to all the shops, restaurants and services found at Tsawwassen Mills and Tsawwassen Commons.”

Of course, if you prefer to stay home and hang out with friends, family and neighbours, there’s the Nest Clubhouse, a freestanding 3,000-sq.-ft. amenity building exclusively for Peregrine owners.

The Peregrine at Tsawwassen Shores presentation centre and display home are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 4742 Blue Heron Way (off Salish Sea Drive). Prices for a two-bedroom home start at $449,900. Be sure to ask about the $25,000 decorating allowance. For more information, visit tsawwassenshores.com or call 604.943.6677.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

BRIDGEPORT A BUSTLING COMMUNITY

by MIKE ARCHIBALD

Bounded north and west by the Fraser River, east

by Oak St. and St. Edmonds Dr., and south by Cambie Rd., this area is at the heart of Richmond in all its consumer-crazy nature. From car tires to congee, if you’re looking to buy it, Bridgeport is looking to sell it. This is a humming commercial zone.

THE VIBE

Spread out but highly developed, the neighbourhood has room for quiet, tree-lined side streets and massive malls. It’s near YVR Airport, so you can see and hear jets land, although the noise is not intrusive.

Prominent in the neighbourhood are a major casino resort and multiple stations of the Canada Line, Metro Vancouver’s latest rapid transit system.

LIFESTYLE

This is a large grid in which residential development is folded into a system of strip malls, hotels and resorts, and large corporate outlets.

Life here is very modern: There’s not much of a past, and the future is being built before your eyes, with towering cranes and vast construction areas dotting the space. It’s not exactly pastoral, but if you don’t mind that you just might love it.

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

Richmond is home to one of Canada’s biggest Chinese populations, and this area is very multicultural.

Immigrants from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mainland China have brought with them rich cultural capital.

You can see it on display at the Chinese malls Yaohan Centre and Aberdeen Centre, which offer Oriental food, fashion, medicine and more.

HOT SPOTS

RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT Treat yourself to dining, drinks, and music— plus, of course, slots, blackjack, roulette and all your gaming favourites.

One of the most popular destinations in all of Metro Vancouver. . www.riverrock.com

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

IN THE AREA

Bus and rapid transit service is excellent, especially for travelling to and from Vancouver, as so many Richmond residents do.

The area is not too friendly to bicyclists or walkers, with many roads lacking proper sidewalks or space for cycles. Car use is quite heavy, but so is use of public transit.

There are several small parks in the neighbourhood, including Odlin Park, but not much else besides YVR Airport in the way of civic amenities. The Canada Line has two stops, Bridgeport and Aberdeen, providing easy access to Vancouver.

One thing the area doesn’t want for is lodging accommodations: There is a plethora of hotels available to visitors.

YAOHAN CENTRE A cultural and economic triumph, this Chinese mall offers food, fashion and so much more. English speakers are more than welcome, and staff at the many outlets are friendly and accommodating. It’s a taste of Hong Kong or Taipei, right here on the West Coast. yaohancentre.com

STREET CORNER

“I go to school at UBC, so it’s very convenient living here. I take the train to Vancouver and then it’s just one bus to school. The location is great for me.”

– ALVIN, UNDERGRADUATE

“I always feel that I’m at home in Richmond.

There is a lot to do, and I’m never bored. I enjoy going out with friends, going into the city, and going to Aberdeen. I have a lot of friends here, but also in Vancouver, and it’s easy for us to get together.”

– SHELLY, IT WORKER

“My family came from China two years ago.

Here it is cleaner, fairer, more orderly. I am very happy here.”

– ZHANG, NEW RESIDENT

K-FEVER KARAOKE East Asia’s biggest entertainment import is well represented here, with food, beverages and ballads to belt out to your heart’s content. Be warned, though: there is a bigger selection of Asian than Western hits. facebook.com/kfvkaraoke

ADVICE | INDUSTRY EXPERT

FIVE REASONS

TO LIVE IN A ‘MIXED-USE’ COMMUNITY

SCOTT BROWN The real estate industry has its share of jargon. One such term is ‘mixed-use’. Consumers may be familiar with this term, but what does it actually mean?

Well, mixed-use is a real estate development that combines different types of properties with different types of uses. At times, these uses are in a common structure such as a tower; other times they are encompassed in a master-plan or development comprised of integrated structures.

The most common mixed-use developments feature residential homes along with office and/or character and convenience retail.

In select cases, a hotel or some form of public amenity may be incorporated into the concept.

Given the growing densification throughout Metro Vancouver, this form of development is becoming increasingly mainstream. Here are five reasons a home in a community of this nature may be right for you:

a mixed-use project is the sense of community that can be found there. These communities tend to be active and social. Shops, restaurants, pubs and coffee shops become an extension of your own living space.

5. SUSTAINABILITY – Eliminate 3. DIVERSITY – Many of

these communities have intergenerational appeal. Both smaller suites for first-time homebuyers and grander, one-level living for retirees are offered. This helps to create diversity and vibrancy. Having a variety of residents is also appealing to business owners, and many offer resident owners perks such discounts or special incentives.

1. CONVENIENCE – What is better

than being steps away from your day-to-day needs? Simply put, living within easy walking distance to shops and services is convenient. Save time and money by walking instead of driving to do errands.

2. SENSE OF COMMUNITY – One

of the best parts about living in 76

NextHome+CondoGuide | Feb. 23–Mar. 9, 2019

and cook your own healthy alternative without having to get back into the car after a long day. In addition, a number of these communities offer medical and wellness services.

your reliance on driving and enjoy a pedestrian-oriented lifestyle. More often than not, these mixed-use communities have higher walk scores. In addition, they tend to be in transit-oriented nodes.

Plus, living in a mixed-use community takes up less land and is more efficient.

If you think this type of living might be right for you, visit fifthave.ca for details on our feature mixed-use communities.

4. HEALTH AND SAFETY – Are

you more likely to go to your gym if it was down the stairs from you? Also, if at the end of the day you haven’t hit your 10,000 steps, you can do a quick and interesting stroll around the community. You can also skip the takeout and opt to pop down to get groceries

ADVICE | INVESTING

JUMPING INTO REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT

FEET FIRST

by KARA KURYLLOWICZ

It takes nerve to jump into the real estate investment pool. To be successful, you’ll need money skills, good advice and smarts to follow it.

So when, to my utter astonishment, my mortgage was paid off, I’m single, self-employed and decades from retirement, I shouted ‘Woohoo’ and did a happy dance!

While I was happy dancing, of course, I thought about the ‘what ifs.’ What would I do with all of that extra cash? Travel! Woohoo – more happy dancing! But my practical streak screamed, ‘What?

Are you crazy?’ I considered the stock market.

I pondered socking it away in a savings account of some sort.

But, as various friends and clients pointed out, the smartest thing I could do was to use my house to buy another house!

Leveraging the equity I’d built up made sense, but I hated the idea. After all, I had just paid off my mortgage. Why on earth would I (single and self-employed with a moderate, highly unpredictable income) immediately burden myself with another one?

Apparently, I should buy a rental property and let my new tenants pay it off for me. Brilliant! But my extremely practical, financially cautious self nearly had a heart attack. The potential hassles and costs scared me, because at first glance, they appeared beyond my control.

One of my clients, Steve, who had also positioned himself as my business coach, said, “Yes, you can certainly look at being self-employed, single and your unpredictable and moderate income as roadblocks!â€? But then pointed out, I’d already successfully managed home ownership. He asked, “What is it about you and your situation that made that possible?â€? That got me thinking. Ĺ” *Ĺ?N JODSFEJCMZ DBSFGVM XJUI money. Some call it frugal, my sister calls it cheap. Ĺ” %FTQJUF UIF GBDU UIBU *Ĺ?E OFWFS ever thought about my credit rating, it was perfect. Ĺ” %JE NZ SFTFBSDI * UVSOFE UP UIF experts. I tended to get good advice. Ĺ” 8IFO JU DPNFT UP MJGF EBODJOH UJMM dawn or scuba diving with sharks, I’m in. Ĺ” *G XFĹ?SF UBMLJOH NPOFZ *Ĺ?N conservative and cautious to the extreme. Ĺ” 8IFO JU DPNFT UP CVTJOFTT relationships, particularly those that involve money, I always keep an eye out for the red flags and tend to start small before fully committing.

When I stepped back and really looked at myself, I could see that the person I’d always been could become a successful, albeit small, real estate investor.

I liked pondering the equity sitting in my house, but I didn’t much like the fact that it wasn’t

actually doing as much for my future as it could be. Now, I was finally ready to use some of that equity as a down payment on my very first rental property!

I was going to do my research, learn more about real estate investment (maybe even take some courses), crunch the numbers and start small with a place that I could afford and where every single cost would be covered by the rent from my new, carefully vetted tenant, with room to spare: Mortgage payments, utilities, property tax, property insurance, repairs, upkeep.

I was scared, but I took a step back, objectively assessed myself and my situation to see if it was viable and decided: “I can do this!�

Can you?

AAlto townhomes SCANDINAVIAN STYLE Inspired by the timeless simplicity of Scandinavian design, Aalto Townhomes is Intracorp’s newest addition to its popular Townhome Collection. Now selling near Coquitlam’s dynamic downtown, the first phase of homes will be move-in ready this spring — meaning you could be fully settled into your new home and taking advantage of this connected location sooner than you thought.

PRIME LOCATION

Nestled into a cul-de-sac in the heart of a wellestablished, single-family residential neighbourhood, Aalto is just a short walk to the Evergreen Line and the shopping and dining delights of Coquitlam Town Centre. Nearby, you’ll find top-ranked schools, parks, sports facilities and live performance venues.

Here you’ll find tranquil streets, views of Mount Baker plus an inviting, village ambiance. Best of all, once complete, Aalto will become part of this existing community so it will feel as if it’s always been here.

QUALITY YOU CAN DEPEND ON

Long known for their superior quality and attention to the small details that make big differences, Intracorp has taken the best of its previous designs and made them even better.

“We listened to what our homeowners said they

loved about our Black & Whites community in Coquitlam West and improved on those features,” says Barrett Sprowson, VP sales.

He notes that often it’s the little things, details you might not even notice at a conscious level, that are what ensure these homes will stand the test of time.

“For example, we’ve incorporated three-inch setbacks on our front windows — which creates a subtle yet dramatic visual.”

Floorplans are wide, allowing plenty of windows for natural light, and most homes have a balcony on one side plus a patio on the other, meaning you get excellent air flow. “And every level has a bathroom or powder room, so when you have company, your guests aren’t intruding into your private space,” says Sprowson. A fantastic bonus for busy moms with toddlers, too.

GET SOCIAL

Getting social and fit at Aalto is easy. Onsite amenities include a well-equipped fitness studio, a games room with a ping-pong table and a fireside lounge with an entertainment kitchen, a dining area and a TV. There’s an outdoor children’s play area as well as a picnic table framed by a classic pergola and even an outdoor fire-pit where owners can gather to share stories and companionship as dusk falls into night.

Aalto Townhomes is now selling. Visit the Presentation Centre and two display homes at 1228 Hudson St., Coquitlam. Open daily noon-5 p.m. (except Friday). For more information, visit aaltotownhomes.com or call 604.891.1282.
