Looking for a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle while easing into retirement? Check out Strawberry Gardens located in LaSalle in the Windsor-Essex Peninsula, Canada’s southernmost point bordered by Lake Erie, the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair. Seven months of short-sleeve weather, long hot summers and moderate winters are ideal for active living. Located only 3 blocks from LaSalle’s marina dotted Nautical Mile and 5 minutes to LaSalle’s shopping centre, Strawberry gardens is located in the “Canadian sun-belt.”
Strawberry Gardens is a 50+ Lifestyle development (free hold ownership) of no more than 59 units located in the bedroom community of LaSalle just outside of Windsor, Ontario and built by award winning BK Cornerstone Design/Build Ltd., one of Essex counties’ premier builders.
Starting from under $200,000.00, buyers have the option of 1250 sq ft units with 1 ½ or 2 car garages or 1500 sq. ft units with 2 car garages. All units are maintenance free brick ranches with 2-3 bedrooms, 1-2 baths on main floor, main floor laundry, full basements, covered rear patio, and all are energy-star rated. A small monthly free provides maintenance free-living with snow shoveled and grass cut by professional contractors.
A move south to this region could represent huge savings and a boost for your retirement nest egg. Housing is the most affordable of 32 major centers in Canada according to a 2009 survey conducted by Re-Max. For homeowners in the Greater Toronto Area, purchase a similar home with a prime location on the 100 Mile Peninsula will cost 30-50% less.
In the words of a recent new home owner, “little did we know the wonderful lifestyle we would discover. Less winter, more summer. By moving to the Windsor area we were able to purchase a similar house in Windsor for half the price of our Edmonton home and use the difference to enhance our retirement income.”
Your affordable housing is close to professional sports, theatres, museums, international shows, festivals, fine dining, shopping await and more, just minutes across the border in Detroit and surrounding metropolitan area. With access to two international airports, world class casinos, your most important, affordable housing is the hub of excitement.
Summers are dazzling on the 100 Mile Peninsula. Over 30 festivals (encompassing everything from county fair style, fine art, specialty crafts, music, food and beverage specialties) and special events to celebrate; including North America’s largest international fireworks display and the Red Bull Air Races a few feet over the Detroit River. BluesFest and Festival Epicure on the waterfront, and 14 wineries for tours and tastings along the southwestern Ontario wine trail. Windsor hosts the 2009 Memorial Cup Champions, the Windsor Spitfires for the hockey lovers. There are nature centers, conservation areas and provincial parks all within an hour’s drive or less. We are not far from the most bird diversified community of Pointe Pelee National Park home to thousands of bird watchers every year.
Pick up fresh produce and flowers from the many roadside stands on your way home from a day of golfing at the many area golf courses or a day of boating from the many marinas within a short drive from your new home. LaSalle’s amenities include intertwining walking or biking trails throughout, a brand new recreation center with twin ice pads (home to a junior B hockey team, the Vipers), various work out centers in the town, senior community room and clubs, therapeutic pools, and several of its own festivals.
