Considering building a new custom home in an established community?
Mature trees, prime amenities, downtown views and community character.
We understand the desirability of putting down your roots in an inner-city neighbourhood with decades of growth and development.
As our city shifts to a more sustainable urban sprawl, infill and inner-city homes are on the rise, and Van Manna Homes has years of knowledge and experience building them.
Location, Location, Location
The inner suburbs of our thriving city are the oldest neighbourhoods and often have the most prime lot locations.
Inner-city living offers many perks to consider when it comes to chasing the dream of home ownership:
- tree-lined streets and mature landscaping increasing community curb appeal
- accessibility to parks and paths and well-connected public transportation
- community involvement and socializing with long-time neighbours
- exposure to smaller well-ranked schools and local family-run businesses
- proximity to downtown and its culture-rich amenities like entertainment and restaurants
- established community feel with exterior curb appeal
- variety in lot locations and sizing such as downtown views, large back yards, secondary suites
- higher property values
Inner-city lots can also bring challenges for building a new home on. Working with an experienced custom home builder who understands what to look for is critical.
For example, we need to consider the soil conditions and the long-standing history of the lot, along with site accessibility and space challenges, neighbouring homes, services and infrastructure including water, sewer, road and sidewalk conditions, existing tree locations, and potentially demolishing or relocating an existing home on the property.
“We built our home with Van Manna 10 years ago with no previous experience on new builds before. We were nervous not knowing what to expect and the process was so seamless and fun! So many complain about the build process but our experience made us want to build again & again! If you want a fair & reasonable builder who will go above & beyond, this is your builder!”
