Tsawwassen has seen a lot of new attention in recent years. With big investment in everything from infrastructure to retail, it's clear that this idyllic rural community is now on the radar. It's hardly surprising. The community gets three times more sun than Vancouver, has beautiful beaches, gorgeous mountain views, and enjoys a tranquil, easygoing community feel. If anything, it's surprising that it took the Lower Mainland so long to discover this place.
Tsawwassen Springs, a new resort-style community close to the ferry terminal, has seen the value in Tsawwassen all along. The concept of this new neighbourhood is simple: create a high-value golf community, with a true vacation feel, in a location that's totally central to the Vancouver area. The community features a mix of expansive concrete condos and freestanding homes, at a value you normally wouldn't expect for this level of quality.
The result has been a runaway success. With greenside living and front door access to the course and amenities, the first phase of condos and second phase of houses have sold out remarkably quickly. The families that have moved in are raving about life in the community. New friendships are forming all the time in Tsawwassen Springs, according to residents often on the fairways or on the Pro Shop patio.
PHASE II CONDO COLLECTION GRAND OPENING
A new release of concrete condos at Tsawwassen Springs has sparked renewed attention at the site. Like all of the residences at Tsawwassen Springs, the Phase II condos exhibit the best of today's Arts & Crafts architecture, with a warm profile that sits well with the simple grace of this community. Many homes command inspiring views of the fairways, and bold vistas of the mountains and the water. Massive balconies and patios reinforce the fresh, sunny outdoor living of this community (especially in the brilliant summer months). Every home is equipped with geoexchange heating and cooling, and high-calibre details and finishings (including granite counters and stainless steel appliances) make these homes feel truly premium.
The homes range from 754 to over 2600 square feet, and start at a surprising $399,900. For those who want a closer look, the sales centre is open Tuesday - Sunday, 12 noon-5 pm and by appointment. Visit us online at www.tsawwassensprings.ca
A GOLF COURSE IN FULL SUMMER SWING
Golf is ever present here, especially in the summer months. The community is built around a par-70 course that's walkable, but designed with the grand feel of a big private course. The course has been celebrated by residents and visitors alike. Undulating greens, serpentine water features, mature trees, and the occasional heron all play against the backdrop of breathtaking views to the North Shore Mountains. But summer is just the high season. An advanced $2 million drainage system means water disperses more quickly, leaving fairways playable during and after rain. This makes for the longest playable season in the region. It also protects the famous wetlands of the region, which has led to approval by the Audobon society. Full amenities will open next summer, including an extensive new community Clubhouse with restaurant, fitness, and exercise studios, and a full-service Performance Centre.
INVESTMENT IN THE AREA
There is a lot of new investment in this region at large. The new Tsawwassen Mills shopping and entertainment complex, for example, an extensive mixed-use retail, entertainment, outlets, and dining development, is well underway, and will make the site more of a destination for the Lower Mainland. Meanwhile, the new South Fraser Perimeter Road will allow traffic to flow much more easily to the area. It's clear that Tsawwassen is looking more and more attractive to more people all the time.
All the same, the quiet, simple, sunny pleasures of life in Tsawwassen are eternal, and the people who live at Tsawwassen Springs will tell you: They're glad to have discovered what many still call "the Lower Mainland's best-kept secret."
