Whether it’s the abundance of nature trails, sandy beaches, historic architecture, or the wealth of wineries, The Niagara Peninsula offers lifestyle advantages that truly stand out from other Southern Ontario communities.

If you are considering the move to Niagara, you’ll have great options for the lifestyle that suits you best and you won’t be alone. Niagara housing is very much in high demand, a strong real estate investment which experts see as part of a long-term trend as the GTA grows and work routines change.

Niagara-on-the-Lake (to the north) and Ridgeway (to the south) are two of the most appealing destinations for home buyers new to Niagara. One award-winning builder, Blythwood Homes, is currently developing neighbourhoods in both these communities, earning a strong reputation along the way.

St. David’s in Niagara-on-the-Lake – convenience with charm

In this sought-after development, only two bungalows and nine townhomes are still available (at time of publishing).

The Vintages at Four Mile Creek, which is located in the village of St. David’s, it’s a fantastic home base to enjoy so many nearby amenities. There’s the world-famous Shaw Festival, fine dining, award-winning wineries, fresh markets, shopping at the fabulous Outlet mall, golf and a myriad of other amenities.
People who call The Vintages home have the best of both worlds: The charm of living in Niagara-on-the-Lake, the convenient food shopping in Niagara Falls and dining at nearby wineries. It’s only about an hour to Toronto, and the U.S. border is only about 12 minutes away.

The Vintages offers townhomes with charming court yards and detached bungalows facing the Five Rows Vineyard. Towns and detached bungalows start at $735,000 and go up to the low millions.

Ridgeway – surrounded by nature

The Oaks at Six Mile Creek in Ridgeway, situated beside an expansive 20-acre original forest conservation area, is destined to be one of Niagara’s most sought-after adult oriented communities.
The community delivers a fulfilling lifestyle just a short stroll away from Lake Erie. A few kms to the west, you find the sandy shores of Crystal Beach known for beautiful sand and clear waters. It’s also walking distance to one of Niagara’s best kept secrets: Downtown Ridgeway, a charming main street of eclectic boutiques, restaurants, spas, arts and culture.

Cyclists will adore the nearby Friendship Trail, a 24-km trail from the Welland Canal in Port Colborne to the Niagara Parkway, much of it along a rustic path carved along a decommissioned rail line.
Phase 1 of The Oaks at Six Mile Creek is nearly sold out of detached lots, and less than one quarter of the Phase 1 townhomes are still available. Towns start at $659,000 and singles range from $659,000 to $789,500.

The Blythwood vision

The Oaks at Six Mile Creek and The Vintages at Four Mile Creek are in different ends of the peninsula, but they share many common bonds thanks to Blythwood’s unifying vision when building communities. With nearly 30 years of experience, Blythwood Homes excels in building neighborhoods that appeal to the 55-plus market, with home designs specifically developed for comfort and lifestyle.

Quality homes that exceed expectations

Recognizing that its homebuyers are discerning in taste and demanding in quality, Blythwood Homes goes out of its way to exceed all expectations. As an Energy Star builder, its homes are better for the environment, better on utility bills and more comfortable to live in than most other homes.

Blythwood’s towns have more space and amenities than many detached homes on the market. The towns include complete lush landscaping with irrigation, paving stone driveways and privacy screens. Garden maintenance and snow removal are handled by the condo corporations. This makes these bungalows ideal for buyers who want to travel or stay down south in the winter.

For buyers of detached bungalows, Blythwood offers extensive customizations such as wine cellars, spa-like bathrooms and stone fireplaces. If that special feature has always been on your dream home radar, Blythwood will do its best to accommodate it.
