River Mill in Cambridge, by Mattamy Homes, aims to capture the pleasures of rural living in southern Ontario that are many and obvious to most. There’s the scenic appeal throughout the four seasons. And then there’s the ability to participate in the offerings of both nature and neighbourhood. Surely, Mattamy considered these irresistible appeals when the company chose to return to Cambridge with this upcoming community.

Situated alongside a private woodlot, River Mill is strategically and conveniently positioned near the town of Hespeler and the junction of Hwys. 401 and 24. This essentially puts homeowners near almost every imaginable service or amenity from big box retailers to farmers’ and antique markets.

Mattamy is well known for creating thriving master-planned communities. River Mill promises to elevate the offering with many extra-deep and wooded lots. Plus, cul-de-sacs will be incorporated into the neighbourhoods for those who prefer an even more calming and cosy environment. Features such as greenspaces, parks, playgrounds, plus walking and bicycling trails are designed to complement the natural surroundings. Small-town charm will be manifested through friendly features such as generous front porches that harken back to an era when neighbours and passers-by would wave and catch up on local happenings. Mattamy’s specialized architectural approach puts people ahead of cars, as you’ll notice when you visit an established Mattamy community. You’ll probably also become aware of the gentle curves in the streets, designed specifically to reduce the speed of traffic. As well, the comprehensive network of paths gives residents real options to driving.

The streetscapes in Mattamy communities are also universally described as fresh-faced and visually stimulating. In River Mill, you will discover an inviting variety of detached home styles, each offering you a healthy choice of floorplans and elevations, and a near overwhelming selection of decor options through Mattamy’s legendary Design Studio. You’ll also have the unique ability to choose from a series of Architect’s Choice Options, so that your personal preferences in living style can be accommodated.

Though you may choose to live just outside the city, these choices available here ensure you needn’t sacrifice any of the creature comforts a modern home can provide.

Discover many features for which Mattamy has become well respected. Explore Mattamy’s efforts to create spacious, open designs that make already generous spaces seem larger and more accommodating. Take note of the oversized windows Mattamy’s designers choose to use. Not only do they allow plenty of natural light into your home, they also allow you to gaze out upon the benefits of living naturally right here in the heart of southern Ontario.

Mattamy was named Waterloo-Wellington Builder of the Year by the Waterloo Region Home Builders’ Association. The company’s return to Cambridge will surely be welcomed by many. So, we suggest you register quickly to stay abreast of all the community information.
