There’s a new model home now open at Harbour Pointe!

It’s no secret that the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is becoming too expensive for some homebuyers, which is why many families and retirees are extending their search to the outskirts, where they are discovering hidden gems like Harbour Pointe in Penetanguishene by Batavia Homes.

According to the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD), there’s less than two months of new low-rise inventory available across the GTA, and since supply is low and demand is strong, prices are soaring. In April 2016, the average price for a new detached home in the GTA was $1,059,263.

If the average price for a new detached home is over $1 million, first-time buyers can’t even consider purchasing. And it doesn’t make sense for retirees to sell their large home and purchase in the GTA because then they end up putting a huge dent in their savings.

At Harbour Pointe, prices start at $249,990, making it a realistic option for young couples and an ideal community in which to retire. Near the shore of Georgian Bay, Harbour Pointe features 40’, 44’, and 50’ detached homes, ranging from 945 to 2,410 square feet.

Some of the impressive interior features and finishes at Harbour Pointe include spacious cold cellars, high quality cabinetry, oak railings, designer ceramics, and three-piece bathroom rough-ins in the basement. These are standard features and finishes that some builders would include as upgrades.  

It’s not just the affordability that has attracted buyers; the neighbourhood offers a wide variety of incredible and convenient amenities, including schools, grocery stores, big box stores, pharmacies, shopping, parks, cycling and hiking trails, restaurants, and more.  

The closest schools to Harbour Pointe are Canadian Martyrs Catholic School, Ecole St. Joseph, and Ecole Secondaire Le Caron, which neighbours Martin’s Valley Park. For outdoor recreation, the Georgian Bay shore is only minutes away, where you can bike along the water, stroll through the park, picnic with friends, play basketball, or go swimming or boating.

The majority of the amenities are located along Main Street. Village Square Mall features an array of retailers, including an LCBO, a Home Hardware, a hair stylist, and local favourites, such as Gidley’s Galley family restaurant.

There is also a Shoppers Drug Mart, a dental office, and banks within a close proximity. Basically, Penetanguishene has every amenity you need on a daily basis within minutes, plus kilometres of breathtaking, picturesque shoreline.
