Why Buy an Infill Property

Whether it’s proximity to a specific school district or close to the amenities of the downtown core, building an infill home means you’ll be able to live in a prime location that’s suited to your needs and lifestyle. In addition, communities that attract infills tend to become revitalized and trendy, which leads to increased property value.

Not only will you be able to create a brand-new home according to your specifications, you can take advantage of innovative construction techniques and utilize modern materials to make your home durable and sustainable over the long term. If you decide to downsize in your retirement, you’ll reap the benefits of these features when you sell your home.

Green and energy efficient infill homes aren’t only helping the environment but also your bank balance. Features such as triple-glazed windows, extra insulations, and radiant heated floors as well as more efficient methods of water conservation will reflect in your lower utility bills. These leading-edge technologies will provide income-saving benefits in the short and long term and bring your home to the forefront of Green living.

There’s great appeal in reducing time spent in traffic and commuting to the suburbs where most new developments are being built. Not only for work-related reasons but also for entertainment, recreation, and nightlife. Walking or cycling is a healthier option and will also reduce your expenses on fuel and parking fees. In addition, public transportation in established communities tends to offer more frequent service and closer connections to major hubs.

Older communities enjoy spacious yardage while many new developments are built with smaller lots and in open fields. It takes decades to achieve the canopies that mature trees provide and many established Ottawa neighbourhoods have charming trees over a century old. Furthermore, rooted communities have well-established recreational centres, extra-curricular activities, and sports teams that your family can benefit from joining.
