As soon as Sara Aktary and her fiancé Frenchy heard about River Watch – Ladner’s premier waterfront condo project – they knew they’d found their dream home.
“It’s like living on the Mississippi river,” says Frenchy. “Every night, we have front row seats to the best sunsets. Our new friends are the wildlife that is right out our deck. We watch as eagles soar and salmon as they jump out of the water. It’s absolutely spectacular.”
Aktary adds: “We feel like we are living in a deluxe country resort and yet close to the city… It’s countryside living in the suburbs.”
This past June, the couple moved into their two-bedroom and two-bathroom home and they can’t stop gushing about it. “In the summer, we don’t even have the television on. We spend our time on the deck watching the boats go by,” both say. “We have a water view from every room of our condo.”
Frenchy goes on to say: “It’s a great community and we’ve made many new friends. We looked around and I can tell you that River Watch is the most affordable waterfront living in all the Lower Mainland.”
Starting at $525,500 (includes the GST), River Watch sales manager Frank Becir agrees.
“Where else can you purchase a beautiful waterfront home in a tranquil setting starting this low?” he says, adding they often dine at their favourite local eatery, the River House Restaurant & Pub, which is steps away from their home.
Nestled on the banks of the Fraser River in Ladner and surrounded by parks and farmland to the south and east, River Watch Residences offer the best of countryside living only 10 minutes to Richmond, and 20 minutes into Vancouver.
Each morning, Sara and Frenchy wake up to sweeping views of the North Shore Mountains, Mt. Baker and the Fraser River. For sports buffs, lace up your hiking shoes and head to the Millennium Trail, which offers kilometres of walking/cycling trails that can take you to the scenic Deas Island Regional Park or Burns Bog.
