As baby boomers retire, the popularity of gated adult community living keeps rising.
After more than three decades in their Chilliwack home, Neil and Elaine were ready for a change.
"Our decision to purchase at Englewood Courtyard has been nothing short of amazing," the retired couple says. "These units speak for themselves and we can visualize the final outcome. We are looking forward to moving in and actually becoming part of a family that they have already made us feel part of."
Welcome to Chilliwack's premier community for those 45+ in Sardis next to Garrison Crossing. The village is a master-planned, adult-only community for those who won’t settle for anything less than a gorgeous, West coast inspired building featuring condos with luxury finishes and the best recreational amenities right at their doorstep.
Neil and Elaine's sentiments are echoed over and over again by those who come by, says Mark Perry, executive director, Englewood Courtyard Management Corporation.
"We have almost reached 50 per cent of our sales in our first building," says Perry.
"In addition, anyone who buys in December receives a four-day trip to the Ritz Carleton Hotel in Palm Springs and $1000 spending money," he says, adding with prices starting from $184,900, these homes won't last. "Right now, we are selling 40 suites in our “Platinum 1” adult condo building."
Englewood Courtyard is comprised of three condominium buildings: Platinum 1 with 40 residences,Platinum 2, a 68 unit building and Platinum 3, which consists of 62 homes, ranging in size from 879 to 1224 square feet, in the heart of the much sought-after Englewood Village.
Each cleverly designed floor plan is distinguished by nine-foot ceilings and 12-foot vaulted ceilings on the top floor, laminate floors, gourmet kitchens featuring maple shaker-style cabinetry with granite countertops, air conditioning, gas fireplaces and gas barbecue hook-ups on the decks. Expansive decks and over-sized windows offer impressive sweeping views of Mount Cheam and beautiful mountainous surrounding areas.
Meanwhile, Platinum 1 is the first five-storey wood framed building in the upper Fraser Valley designed to SaferHome building standards. That means they are built to enable homeowners to “age in place.” They include wider hallways and doorways, bath and shower controls, lower light switches and much more. In addition, the homes have Smart Home features so that residents can open doors, turn on the heat or the lights from their iPhone or Smartphone.
Meanwhile, residents will enjoy the privileges of a 2500-square-foot clubhouse featuring social lounge with full kitchen, overlooking serene landscaping and a reflecting pond. For Rv’ers, there is an RV parking area with 28 spots with plug in electricity, portable water and wash area that is available for use by Englewood Courtyard owners.
Englewood Courtyard takes living to a whole new level.
