Homebuyers loving Apex’s Phase 3 of Heartland

Stunning mountain views, a great selection of lots and a variety of stylish designs have homebuyers loving Apex Developments’ Phase 3 of Heartland in Cochrane.

“This phase was eagerly anticipated by people who fell in love with the community, but wanted to take advantage of the unique lots and great westerly views offered by Phase 3,” says Apex Developments co-ordinator Morgan Gowland. “We are also seeing a lot of interest from current residents who see the new phase as a tremendous opportunity to move-up into front-drive garage product and enjoy the luxury of a larger lot.”

Phase 3 in Heartland is comprised of all single-family front-drive garage homes built exclusively by Excel Homes and Pacesetter by Sterling Homes. There’s more than 28 models to choose from starting from the $350,000s, including a bungalow plan by Pacesetter. Buyers also have plenty of choice when it comes to picking the lot that best suits their lifestyle, including some that accommodate triple attached garages.

“In this economy, every dollar counts,” Gowland notes. “Heartland really does offer incredible value to hopeful buyers, which is why we’re even seeing those already within the community looking to move-up. Plus, current lot incentives make it a great time to buy a single-family, front-drive garage home in Heartland.”

Excel and Pacesetter also offer a selection of laned and front-drive garage duplexes, starting from the $310,000s. Rohit Communities’ designer, no condo fee street towns with a landscaped yard, fence, deck and detached garage start in the $290,000s. For those who desire maintenance-free living, Birchwood’s pet-friendly townhomes are a perfect choice starting from the $280,000s, but buyers will have to act fast with only five units remaining.

Heartland appeals to a wide range of buyers, Gowland says. “A lot of people fall in love with the charm of the community and enjoy the laid-back lifestyle that small town living offers. So, when they discover everything that the area has to offer, I think residents find Heartland serves as the perfect home base. Whether that means driving into downtown to enjoy boutique shops and locally roasted coffee or heading out to Big Hill Springs Provincial Park, its location just off Highway 22 and 1A makes enjoying life easy. Plus, a 15-minute commute to northwest Calgary is closer than most people realize."

“I think people have also gravitated towards Heartland for its beautiful outdoor spaces. Every front-drive garage single-family home receives a free tree for their front yard and the community’s boulevards are extra wide and extensively landscaped,” she adds. “There are naturalized spaces for people and their dogs alike to enjoy, and, for families, two playgrounds offering varying levels of play as children grow and develop their motor skills. There’s even something for the adults, with an outdoor workout circuit and pathway system, as well as benches and picnic tables to sit back and relax on those beautiful sunny days.”

There is a lot for residents to look forward to in Heartland, too. A local commercial area featuring a gas station, Tim Hortons, liquor store, and pizza shop, to name a few, are anticipated to open this year. Residents are hopeful the Town and CP Rail will complete a pedestrian crosswalk linking residents to the Bow River and neighbouring communities, and work is set to start next spring on a new RCMP detachment.

Apex invites you to visit the community and explore Excel and Pacesetter showhomes, open Monday to Thursday, 2-8 p.m., and weekends and holidays, noon-5 p.m., (Birchwood and Rohit by appointment only), or visit heartlandcochrane.com for more information.
