New model homes at Lilythorne

Claridge Homes has six new models available for viewing in their Lilythorne community. Located in Findlay Creek, Lilythorne is nestled by the National Capital Greenbelt and surrounded by paths and nature trails. With easy access to Hwy. 417, as well as plans for parks and a school, this family-friendly community is an excellent place to call home. If you’d like to pop in, the address is 3275 Findlay Creek Drive.

Creekside is sold out!

Cardel’s Creekside Community Phase 1 is officially sold out! This picturesque enclave community offers big-city accessibility with the scenic views and outdoor adventure that only a rural setting can provide. Discover bungalow and two-storey plans and register for Phase 2 being released in the Fall 2021.

Seminar series continues to be a huge success!

Cardel Homes & RBC Seminar Series, Buying and Selling a Home in 2020, continues to be a popular draw. Normally these events are held in the Devonshire II model in Blackstone but with pandemic protocols in place the seminar moved online. Due to the high volume of RSVPs for the August 27 event (over 200!) only the presenters were heard and seen on video. Topics included how COVID-19 has changed the home-buying process; how to get the best value when choosing upgrades and options for your new home; current resale market conditions; staging a home for maximum curb appeal, plus they fielded questions that were previously submitted by interested participants.
