Bungalows, split levels and older two story homes occupy decent sized lots. Semi’s and townhouses are reasonably priced alternatives for young families to move into and renovate, while condominium high rise buildings are a favourite with students, singles, and seniors. The Enclaves, backing onto Sixteen Mile Creek, and newly built infill properties, round out the range of prices.
