In every issue of New Condo

of these featured neighbourhoods.
And if you look online, you’ll fi nd
more than 2,800 neighbourhoods
you can search as part of your
experience on YPNextHome.ca.
That’s a lot of information.
Our curated neighbourhood
content provides a lively snapshot
of some of Canada’s more
popular neighbourhoods. These
profi les have been researched
and compiled by a nationwide
team of writers and editors, and
they include photos and, in some
cases, exclusive video tours with
local celebrities and well-known
residents. Demographics, housing
types and other information... all
leading to listings in the area.
Check it out and let us know
what you think.
Whether you have your eye on a
new home, or are just dreaming
of a way to update and refresh the
home you have, there’s no better

Property Profile | SEYMOUR VILLAGE
THINK YOU KNOW the North Shore? Well
think again, because Seymour Village is about
to change the way you imagine life in North
Vancouver.
A partnership between Aquilini
Development and Takaya Developments,
a branch of the Tsleil-Waututh Nation,
this spectacular 25-acre masterplanned
community is surrounded by majestic forest,
natural grandeur and the lush greens of
the Seymour Golf & Country Club to the
northeast. You could say this is a little slice
of paradise.
And here’s the news people have been
waiting for. The first phase of Seymour Village
homes celebrated its grand opening previews
on September 26th, with sales starting on
October 10th, and they’re like nothing I’ve
seen before in this neighbourhood — or
anywhere else for that matter. The crisp
angularity is dramatic and distinctly 21st
Century, yet there’s also an inner sense of the
organic minimalism that defined Frank Lloyd
Wright’s trendsetting designs.
Each façade features extensive use of
natural stained, wood siding and soffits. Glass
with metal railings defines the generously
sized balconies, and front doors are framed
with panels that provide unanticipated
punches of colour — blue, red, green.
For me though, it’s the L-shaped cladding
that cascades from the roof and down one
side that’s the most innovative feature. It’s
one of those rare designs that quite simply

take my breath away because they’re so
unexpected and so very creative.
Homes For Living
Inside, these homes are thoughtfully
crafted to make life easier. “Downsizers
who already live on the North Shore love
them because they have so much space,”
says Deren Akinci, project marketer.
“Families like the open floorplans that
make entertaining easy.”
And everyone loves the starting
price of $689,900. “The cost of buying
a single-family home in Vancouver
is nearby. You’re minutes from some
of the best hiking and biking trails in
Metro Vancouver, there’s no shortage
of shopping and restaurants close by,
Capilano University is about an eight-
minute drive, and if you haven’t been
to the beach at Cates Park you should
— especially since it’s only two minutes
away.”
Of course, there’s also Deep Cove
with its charming theatre and art gallery
plus the famous Honey Doughnuts…
which reminds me… I think it’s time for
a snack. And on the way back, I can
snag a growler and some of the most
interesting gin around at the Deep Cove
Brewers and Distillers. Life is good here
on the North Shore.
The first offering at Seymour Village
will be an exclusive collection of 49,
three-bedroom townhomes. Three
distinctive floor plans of either two or
three storeys with homes ranging from
1,608 to 1,760 square feet.
Prices start at $689,900. Now open for
previews at 590 Raven Woods Drive
in North Vancouver, noon to 5 p.m.
daily except Fridays. Sales starting
October 10th. For more information

has gone through the roof,” Deren
says. “Even in the suburbs it can be
prohibitively expensive. At Seymour
Village, you get a double benefit — the
cost savings of a townhome and the
extra value of purchasing a leasehold
property. And you can still be in
downtown Vancouver in less than 20
minutes. It’s a win-win all round.”
Connected Lifestyle
“This whole area is amazing,” Deren
says. “Everything that makes the West
Coast such a desirable place to live

Upgrades for long term living
WHEN PURCHASING a new home or
condo, the buyer is faced with the
dreaded decision of what upgrades to
put their hard earned money towards.
The list of potential upgrades is often
long and daunting, especially for
someone who is “new” to buying new.
It is important to look at how long you
want to live in the home for, potential
projects or short-term renovations you
may have in mind and the best return
on your dollar.
There are a couple ways to look at
upgrades. There are the ones that can be
done only during the building process
(or are extremely expensive afterwards),
ones that make the most sense during
the building process and ones that are
more of a cosmetic or superfi cial nature
that are nice to have but can be done at
anytime. It is hard for a new homeowner
to think of what the long term plans for
their new home are, but believe me; this
exercise will be well worth it in the end!
In terms of upgrades that are best
to be done during the building or

construction stages, these are things
you are going to want to ask your
builder about sooner, rather than later.
These upgrades are also a surefi re way
to increase your home’s value right out
of the gate. Most builders adhere to an
eight-ft. guideline in terms of ceiling
height. However, new homes have been
known to incorporate ceilings of up to a
10-ft. height. Higher ceilings immediately
make a room feel larger and can add to
its general design and appeal. They also
adds a general feeling of luxury to a
new home.
Many builders o� er both brick and
siding options on their fl oorplans. For
this decision, homeowners really have
to evaluate their long-term plans. Using
brick helps guarantee your house will
last through most any weather condition
(think about a popular fairy tale with
three pigs and a wolf!). Brick can also be
quieter, blocking the homeowner from
outside noise. That being said, aluminum
siding is much, much more cost
e� ective, but needs regular maintenance.
Unless you are planning on staying in
your home for a very long period or want
to ensure high resale value, siding might
be the way to go.
Other areas to consider for upgrades
during the building period of your new
home can be additional lighting, pot
lights, additional outlets (especially on
a second fl oor), additional fi replaces,
larger windows, larger windows in
the basement and a rough in for the
basement. These are all upgrades that
almost have to be done before the house
is complete and can be very costly once
the house is built.
Purchasing a new home can be very
exciting...and a little nerve racking! Make
sure to take the time to really think about
what you want in your new home, so
once you move in, it’s perfect!

IF YOU’RE NOT REALLY sure how far the
Fraser Valley extends, you’re not alone.
But make no mistake: this expansive area
is rapidly becoming a powerhouse in the
Lower Mainland’s real estate market.
This issue, New Home Guide chats with
Scott Brown, president of Fifth Avenue Real
Estate Marketing, about some of the things
that make the Fraser Valley unique and
appealing to today’s homebuyers.
Q: How is the Fraser Valley defined
geographically?
A: We consider the Fraser Valley to
encompass municipalities located south
of the Fraser River and east of Richmond
or north of the Fraser River and east of
Port Coquitlam. So some of the primary
real estate market areas include Surrey
Advice | 10 MINUTES WITH…
10 Minutes with Scott Brown By Susan M Boyce
Trends in the Fraser Valley Housing Market
Q&A
(Metro Vancouver’s emerging ‘second city’),
Tsawwassen/Delta, Langley, and Maple Ridge.
Q: So is the Fraser Valley housing market an
extension of the Metro Vancouver market?
A: Not at all. The media often talks about
Metro Vancouver as if the entire market is the
same as Westside Vancouver or downtown.
In reality, the Fraser Valley is more like a
collection of micro markets. Many buyers here
do not aspire to the Yaletown lifestyle and
have more in common with homeowners in
medium centers like Victoria or Calgary.
Which is not to say this demographic
doesn’t appreciate or want quality. They do.
But it’s important to realize that just because
a feature is popular in downtown Vancouver,
doesn’t mean it will automatically be popular
in the Fraser Valley.
Scott Brown

Exchange by Hayer Lifestyles (Langley).
TOP RIGHT
Alder at Milner Heights by Vesta Properties (Langley)
24 YPNEXTHOME.CA
Q: What about the all-important
issue of cost?
A: It’s under-reported, but price levels
in the Fraser Valley have not increased
in a meaningful manner since the re-set
of 2009.
For example, the average price per
square foot of townhomes in Surrey/
Langley is half what it is in Vancouver’s
Eastside. Highrise condominiums of
equal or better specifi cations sell for
20 to 30 per cent less than downtown
Vancouver, and lowrise apartments
sell for about 30 per cent less than
equivalent product in Burnaby.
It’s also interesting to note that 70
per cent of townhomes sales in Metro
Vancouver were in the Fraser Valley.
And homes here often move rapidly
— Exchange in Langley sold over 100
townhomes in less than six months.
Q: What are some Fraser Valley
market trends you see?
A: Townhomes are emerging as the
new single-family. There’s a whole
generation who grew up in the suburbs,
moved to Vancouver, and are now
returning to the neighbourhoods where
they grew up, because for the same
price they’d pay for a two-bedroom
condo in Vancouver they can buy a
three- or four-bedroom townhouse.
They don’t expect to own a single-
family house and, unlike their parents,
they aren’t willing to compromise
lifestyle. They expect to still be able to
travel and go out for dinner.
Local and Mainland Chinese buyers
will continue gaining infl uence in
markets like South Surrey, White Rock
and Maple Ridge. Many of these
buyers are looking for “friendly and
familiar” zones with fi rst class schools
for their children.
The demand for innovative product
will continue gaining traction. From a
high rise perspective, small is the new
big — as evidenced by the success of
products like Tien Sher’s Balance and
Reliance Properties’ Prime in Surrey City
Centre. Large “executive” townhome
product like Ikonik Homes’ Jacobsen
will become increasingly attractive as
a viable alternative to single-family
homes. Buyers also love private rooftop
spaces like those off ered at The Woods
by Gamercy and Exchange by Hayer
Lifestyles — both projects sold 12-18
months faster than anticipated.
Master-on-the-main product
will continue to appeal to the aging
demographic found throughout Metro
Vancouver and The Fraser Valley.
Heritage by Infi nity Properties had
almost 500 people come through
their preview centre with virtually no
advertising, and Vesta Properties are
seeing a similar reaction to their new
release at Milner Heights.
There’s also a strong trend to resort
areas for year-round living. The Cottages
at Cultus were so popular that developer
Jon Van Geel is now building Creekside
Mills at Cultus Lake — a new community
designed specifi cally as a full-time
neighbourhood.
Q: Any Fraser Valley hot spots you’re
keeping a particularly close watch on?
A: Abbotsford will be more active than
it’s been during the last decade with
some highly creative projects in the
works including an exciting new mixed-
use project from Matsqui Development
Co Ltd.
Tsawwassen is poised to follow White
Rock’s lead and go from sleepy little
town to vibrant community thanks to
the South Perimeter Road, ongoing
rejuvenation of the downtown centre,
and Century Groups’ Southlands project
— which will be a game changer.
And, of course, there’s the Surrey City
Central neighbourhood. In the next fi ve
years, as many as 10,000 new residents
will be living within fi ve blocks of City
Hall and the iconic 3 Civic Place creating
a whole new level of vibrancy.

Property Profile | MORGAN RISE
IT’S NO SECRET, I love South Surrey’s
Morgan Heights neighbourhood. The air
always feels fresh here and the location
means easy walking to everything, from
shops and galleries to parks and beaches.
So you can bet I can’t wait to take
a look at Morgan Rise, a brand new
collection of 64 single-family homes from
Foxridge Homes — especially since Diane
Zarola, director of sales and marketing,
has told me there are four, professionally
furnished display homes for me to check
out. I can’t wait.
Designed to Delight
From the street, Morgan Rise’s
architecture has an almost storybook
charm — stone accents, steeply gabled
rooflines, inviting front porches and exquisitely
proportioned windows that I can see will fill these
homes with sunlight. No wonder Diane tells me
that within three weeks of opening almost half these
homes were sporting “SOLD” signs.
As we wander through the four display homes, the
sheer good looks and intelligent design I’ve come
to expect from Foxridge are evident everywhere.
Main floor ceilings that soar 10-foot high, fireplaces
with luxurious stone surrounds and an art or TV
niche above, vaulted master suites featuring lavishly
appointed ensuites with granite counters and over-
sized, frameless glass showers — these homes have
it all… and then some. Just off the front entry, there’s
even an open, sunny flex-room that could be an
office, formal dining room, library, mediation room…
okay, you get the idea — its uses are limited only by
your imagination.

Since Diane always remembers my passion for
cooking, we spend some extra time in the kitchens.
In a word, they’re beautiful. But more importantly,
they’re designed for function whether it’s a romantic
dinner for two or a lavish party for the entire family.
There’s an eye-level microwave integrated into a
pantry wall, massive double sinks in a sexy-looking
matte finish that I know is virtually indestructible, plus
a centre island that’s sure to become a social hub of
day-to-day life.
Enviable Location
“This is truly one of South Surrey’s prime
neighbourhoods,” Diane says. “Sunnyside Elementary
is literally just around the corner and Southridge
Private School is only a couple of blocks away. You
can be on the freeway to YVR or the US border in
minutes, the White Rock Beach Promenade is about
a 10-minute drive, and there are four golf courses
less than a 15-minute drive away.”
She points to the North Shore Mountains that
float on the horizon to the north. “And couldn’t you
just get used to looking at that,” she says. Well yes, I
could… in about three minutes flat.
Morgan Rise’s four three-bedroom display homes
are open noon to 5 p.m. daily at 159th Street and
Mountain View Drive in South Surrey. Prices start
in the $820,000’s. Be sure to stop in at the Design
Centre where you can customize everything from
flooring to fixtures for your new home.

BACK-TO-SCHOOL and back-to-work
season is upon us, and that means more
time in the kitchen preparing lunches
and dinners, and less time for you to put
your feet up or get other errands done.
Here are some helpful tips to handle the
stress of autumn.
What’s for dinner? Avoid the stress
and expense of last-minute dinner
decisions with a little advanced planning.
Ask your family to list their favourite
meals and create a revolving two-week
dinner menu (with a grocery list to
match). Post it on the fridge so whoever
comes home fi rst can start preparing it.
Double the amount you make and freeze
it for quick meals on the busiest nights.
Make school lunches easy. Designate
one shelf in the pantry for school snacks
only. Transfer foods to airtight containers
Advice | QUICK TIPS
By Hellen Buttigieg
Autumn will soon be upon us and with that comes
Time management
– you’ll save space because they stack
well, and the food will keep longer. Pack
lunches the night before and refrigerate.
Assign an area in the fridge for school
lunches and drinks. With smaller
children, encourage independence by
storing their foods low enough for the
little ones to reach.
Involve the kids. You don’t have to
do everything yourself. Teach your kids
how to do age-appropriate tasks and
give them a weekly chore list. You will be
helping them to develop important life
skills. After you show them how to do
each task, post a step-by-step checklist
for them to follow when they do it on
their own (use pictures for kids who
are too young to read). This will allow
them to work independently and gain
confi dence in their newly acquired skills.
Clean as you go. Handle small messes
as they happen to save time and e� ort in
the long run. Rinse dirty dishes and put
them in the dishwasher immediately after
use, before the food hardens and sticks.
If something spills in the fridge, clean
it as soon as you notice. If you stain an
article of clothing, pre-treat it right away.
Keep wipes handy for quick bathroom
and kitchen spot-cleaning.
How’s your “to do” list working out
for you? If you fi nd your “to do” list
overwhelming and ine� ective, consider
approaching it di� erently. Rather than
one long list, create several short ones
based on the category of the task, i.e.
errands, home, calls, computer, etc.
Keep your lists together in a small
notebook that’s portable and always
easily accessible.
Now, where was I? If you get
interrupted while working on something
important, use a notebook or a sticky
note to jot down where you left o� .
When you return to the task, you won’t
waste as much time fi guring out where
to resume.
Multi-tasking reduces productivity.
Contrary to popular belief, multi-
tasking may actually lower productivity.
Switching back and forth from one
task to another costs time and leads to
frustration and feelings of overwhelm.
As a result, stress increases and there
is a greater chance of errors. Although
simple tasks can be done at the same
time, like watching TV and folding
laundry, important, complex activities
require our undivided attention.
Two-timing tasks. Double up your
simple activities and you’ll be able to do
more in less time. Rather than chatting
with a friend at the co� ee shop, meet at
the gym and work out together instead.
Read the morning paper while running
on the treadmill.

RECENTLY, WE SPOKE to Jillian Harris and Todd Talbot
of Love it or List it Vancouver, to get a “He says, She
says” take on what makes each of them tick in regards
to living spaces.
DD: How does budget factor into your design plans?
Todd: Budget often becomes a dirty word for almost
all of us, but it is the single biggest factor when it
comes to renovations and design. I believe you need to
prioritize the core elements of the home that add value
to a space. Get this right, and you can have fun with
pillows and rugs down the road, get it wrong, and it’s
lipstick on a pig.
Jillian: Staying on budget is a huge deal for a designer,
but I tend to focus more on the intimate details of the
space and try to save money by finding forgotten gems
in the back of a antique shop rather than evaluating
ROI. Yawn!
DD: What elements are integral to your design style?
Todd: I’m not a knick-knack kinda guy, and in our busy
house—with young kids running around—it’s never a
good idea. I love practical design elements that are
cool and fun, but also durable and low maintenance.
I love a minimal space; I hate things on counters for
the most part. My kryptonite is sexy built-in storage.
Jillian: Clutter is a no-no in my space, but I love
incorporating accessories that add personality to
a home. A bare-bones house just seems depressing
to me.
Love it or list it: He says, she says

DD: How would you describe your design aesthetic?
Todd: I’m inspired by a contemporary West Coast aesthetic and
gravitate towards unique spaces that reflect the environment
around me. Exposed wood, stone and natural light add a
certain timelessness and warmth to a space. I designed our
home with playful elements so every room has an interesting
architectural flare that makes for cool unique experiences.
Including a climbing wall in the front entry.
Jillian: I’m with Todd in that a house should complement the
surrounding environment (I swoon over overgrown flower
arrangements and tons of natural light), but my style leans
more towards clean, romantic and a little bit country.
DD: You’ve both mentioned that it’s important to take
account of a home’s surroundings in its interior. Is it also
important to bring the aesthetic of the home’s interior into
the outdoor living space? If so, how do you accomplish this?
Todd: West coast living is all about the outdoors and managing
to create a great space that you can enjoy outside is absolutely
critical for me. We built a huge deck that ties all the rooms
together. It allows each of the bedrooms to have sliding doors,
creating an environment that draws us out to enjoy the view
and fresh air. This deck serves our family for BBQ’s, dance
parties, kids bike riding, sand box, planter boxes, hammock
time, and after it’s all done...a soak in the hot tub!

OCT 2 - OCT 16, 2015 | NEW HOME GUIDE 39
Jillian: I absolutely love a home that flows effortlessly from
indoors to out. I like to keep it fresh, airy, girly and a little bit
country while focusing on creating a comfy space to entertain
family and friends. My Vancouver house doesn’t offer a ton
of outdoor living space, so I’ve made a point of incorporating
that vibe into my Kelowna home with a big outdoor kitchen
complete with a full dining set and twinkly string lights.
DD: Do either of you have a space in your homes that
you identify as a personal sanctuary?
Todd: I like practical storage and I think every house needs
a garage and workshop. I’m not a huge fan of the dedicated
movie room or the cliché “man cave.”
Jillian: My workshop is my closet! This is probably the messiest
room the house and takes a ton of turnover.
DD: Do you see the bedroom as an important place to use
space, perhaps because you view it as a sanctuary of sorts?
If not, what spaces in your home do you like the feel of a
little more luxury?
Todd: An inspirational office, a large shower, a king size bed
with hotel bedding and a view. I don’t need to waste valuable
square footage where I sleep, although I wouldn’t mind a little
“sanctuary time” with my wife, if Jill is willing to babysit. If you
can find a little spot in your home that is just for you, especially
when you live with others, it becomes a little sanctuary.
Jillian: A small bedroom would just not work for me—my
bedroom is my sanctuary, not just my sleeping space, so I
need to have enough room for some treasures.
DD: What is your favourite room in your current house,
and why is this space special to you?
Todd: My favourite space is my office because it is full of
elements that reflect my past (show posters, a hockey stick
signed by Wayne Gretzky, my first pair of ski’s). It captures the
essence of why we choose to live on the West Coast and also
gives me a space to hide away like a kid in his bedroom. It’s a
luxury, but I also love to sit at the desk I built out of reclaimed
hand milled cedar. PHO

Jillian: My kitchen. It’s basically all we need. It’s where
everyone gatherers, everyone eats, its were all the messes are
made and the memories are created.
DD: What makes a space worthy of the name “home”?
Todd: The people who live there. The little shoes scattered on
the floor, the familiar place you sit and drink your coffee, the
table you host family and friends. A ‘home’ is a reflection of you
and should be personalized with elements that reflect you and
your passions.
Jillian: The story of your life being told through collections of
furniture, art, artefacts, fabrics and lighting. Eclectic mixes of
the things that make you happy, calm, alive, fresh, mellow and
grateful. Texture, inconsistency and little signs of love.
DD: Is being a Vancouverite important to your design style?
If so, how?
Todd: Yes! I am totally influenced by my surroundings. I
am passionate about west coast architecture, which is very
dynamic and innovative especially in the residential market. We
don’t have row upon row of identical houses like some parts
of the country. I like to try and reflect the dramatic landscape
that we build our houses on. We don’t have harsh winters
allowing us to introduce tons of glass and incorporating natural
light. Vancouver is known for open floorplans, exposed timber,
wood both outside and inside, flat or somewhat flat roofs. I
could go on forever, but growing up here has put this type of
architecture in my DNA.
Jillian: I think Vancouver’s eclectic personality totally vibes
with my overall love of mixing and matching the old with the
new. B.C. is such a gorgeous place to live, and I’m constantly
inspired by the natural environment and incredible, creative
people that call it home.
Love It or List It Vancouver’s hosts, Jillian Harris and Todd
Talbot will both be appearing at the 2015 Vancouver Home

on Friday, October 23 at 7 p.m., and Todd is doing a solo

SURREY/LANGLEY
IT IS IMPORTANT to determine the
di� erence between a deposit and down
payment and at which point each of
them have to be paid.
The deposit is the money that you
put down to secure the property that
you are purchasing, in other words
you are proving that you are serious
about buying the property. There is no
set amount on how much the deposit
amount is. When you are writing an
o� er to purchase with your real estate
agent, they will require a deposit
amount. That amount will depend on
the purchase price and how quickly you
will be closing on the sale. The deposit
is applied against the purchase price of
the property when the sale closes. The
deposit will become part of the down
payment. If you don’t close on the
property, the deposit is lost.
The down payment is the money that
you put up front when you purchase a
property. Down payments typically range
from 5 per cent to 20 per cent of the
total value of the property. The minimum
down payment required to purchase a
property is 5 per cent. There are di� erent
down payment requirements when you
are purchasing. If you are an employee,
you can put as little as 5 per cent down
payment. For self-employed individuals
it can be as low as 10 per cent and if
you are purchasing a rental/ investment
property you will need to put a minimum
of 20 per cent down payment. The full

amount of the down payment is payable
when the sale closes.
Below are a couple of examples:
Example 1:The buyers are buying a property with
a purchase price of $525,000. They will
be putting a 10 per cent down payment
($52,500). They removed subjects and
their o� er has become a fi rm deal on
October 2nd, at this point they give a
deposit of $26,250. They will be closing
on November 15th and the buyers will
need to pay the balance of the down
payment of $26,250, making a total
down payment of $52,500.
Example 2:The buyers are buying a property that is
under construction and the developer
is asking for a 10 per cent deposit. The
property that they are purchasing is
$619,900 plus GST. They have given a
deposit of $61,990. The fi nal purchase
price with GST is $650,895. The buyers
are only putting a down payment of 5
per cent ($32,544.75). The buyers will be
getting the di� erence back at the time of
closing after the deductions have been
made for the closing costs.

Mikey Young At Heart APP can save lives
MORE TRENDING ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news
THE NEW MIKEY YOUNG At Heart
APP is an educational program that
teaches life-saving skills through
informational videos on how to
perform CPR and use a MIKEY
(Automatic External) defi brillator.
These skills can increase the odds
of survival for a Sudden Cardiac
Arrest victim by up to 75 per cent.
The free APP is named for an
initiative of The Mikey Network,
a registered charity established in
2003 by Heathwood Homes and
The Heron Group of Companies.
The Network has placed more
than 1,850 automated external
defi brillators called MIKEYs in public
places, and to date, 27 lives have
been saved because a MIKEY was
on hand.
The Mikey Network is o� ering
students to earn high school
volunteer hours; students can
download the app, watch the
videos, learn how to use a MIKEY
defi brillator, then take quizzes that
earn them volunteer hours when
completed. Students can also sign
up to be a Mikey Young At Heart
Program Ambassador at their
school.
Sudden Cardiac Arrest can
happen to anyone of any age,
anytime, anywhere, and unless the
person is resuscitated within a few
minutes, there is little chance of
survival. Nearly 7,000 incidences occur in Ontario each
year, mostly in public places, and many to otherwise
healthy young people. The Mikey Network places MIKEY
defi brillators to o� er people who collapse outside of a
hospital setting a second chance at life.
It’s easy to make a life-saving di� erence. All it takes
is a little time and attention.
Visit mikeynetwork.com to register, or download the
APP for free to a smart phone, tablet or computer via
the Apple Store or Google Play.

IT’S OFFICIAL. Langley homebuyers have fallen in
with Alder at Milner Heights. “We celebrated our
grand opening on September 19th, and we sold
25% of our fi rst phase that weekend alone,” says
Leah Erridge, marketing specialist.
And no wonder. The newest neighbourhood in
this award-winning masterplanned community by
Vesta Properties, Alder o� ers four distinctive home
types, a tranquil setting that’s still just minutes from
the burgeoning amenities of downtown Langley and
Willoughby, plus a warm, friendly ambiance.
Life on Your Own Terms
Today, though, I’m here to experience Alder’s two,
brand new showhomes. Leah’s already told me the
themes and I’m intrigued: “mid-century modern”
and “reused/recycled.”
As we step into the ’70s-inspired mid-century
modern, I hear myself give a sigh of appreciation.
The kitchen is massive and fl ows e� ortlessly into
a sun-drenched, open-concept living room with
electric fi replace, turquoise accents and retro-chic
dining table set for six — although for a family dinner
celebration, it would easily fi t eight or more.
I resist an impulse to settle comfortably on the
king-sized, white sectional and head for the family
room. Here I discover a deck with gas hook-up and
plenty of space for outdoor lounging furniture —
defi nitely where you’d fi nd me barbequing most
nights and a feature that’s found in every Alder home.

Upstairs, Leah has another surprise
— a master suite that feels so spacious
it’s like two bedrooms combined.
This also where Vesta has intelligently
located the washer/dryer — because
who wants to be continually running
up and down the stairs checking
laundry?
For something completely di� erent,
Alder’s second display home has
the rural charm of reclaimed wood
dining room bench, a downright funky
black chandelier, plus a cottage-style
bookshelf recessed right into the living-
room wall. This plan also a ground-
level fl ex room decked out here as a
TV/media space but that could easily
be an o� ce, gym, or guest bedroom.

Tell your friends. It’s that good.
good news for Canadians
BoC decision to hold overnight lending rate generally
THE BANK OF CANADA (BOC)
released its regularly scheduled
interest rate update on Sept. 9,
announcing it would not change the
overnight lending rate from 0.50 per
cent. With the economy performing
better than expected and a federal
election in full swing, the BoC opted
to leave things as they are and not
make any changes for the time being.
In the previous interest rate
announcement on July 15, the BoC
cut the overnight lending rate by
25 basis points. It was the second
change in just six months, echoing a
25 basis point cut in January. July’s
announcement led to a fl urry of
activity, as consumers came searched
for lower mortgage rates.
In this most recent announcement,
however, the BoC had a somewhat
more positive outlook. A statement
from the central bank said “the
stimulative e� ects of previous
monetary policy actions are working
their way through the Canadian
economy.” The BoC also cautioned
that Canada’s economic future will be
heavily infl uenced by factors beyond
its control. Uncertainty in China and
the growing economic strength of
the United States were two major
pressures cited by the Bank.
Attention is now shifting to the
U.S. Federal Reserve, which could
potentially raise interest rates in that
country as early as this month. Earlier
this year, it seemed to be a foregone
conclusion that the Fed would raise
rates in September, but experts are
now saying it could be later this year
before they pull the trigger. It’s still
seen as a matter of when – not if –
rates will go up there, and when they
do, it will be the fi rst such increase
since 2008.
The Bank of Canada has said
they wouldn’t necessarily follow an
American lead, but a U.S. rate hike
would have implications on our
economy, and would likely push
the Canadian dollar down even
further relative to the greenback.
By deferring any further changes to
the overnight rate, the BoC has left
itself breathing room to react to an
American rate increase.
For the average Canadian, today’s
announcement is generally good
news. If you have a variable rate
mortgage, your interest rate should
stay the same for the time being. Even
though the major banks didn’t pass
along the entire discount from this
year’s rate cuts, don’t expect them to
use today as an opportunity to step up
any competition.
The Bank of Canada’s next
opportunity to change the overnight
lending rate is Oct. 21.

Neighbourhood Profile
THE FIRST CAPITAL of British Columbia,
New Westminster is situated on the
Burrard Peninsula and comprises the
area from North of the Fraser River
to Tenth Avenue and the width from
Marine Drive to Brunette Avenue.
Known affectionately as “The Royal City”
thanks to Queen Victoria naming it after
Westminster, the part of London that
holds the buildings of Parliament.
New West is made up of a broad
range of micro-neighbourhoods, and
it truly offers something for everyone:
from the heritage homes of Queen’s
Park to the modern condos downtown.
There is a pride of place here, and it’s
often said that people who move here
never want to leave.
Density means accessibility and diversity
New West might be considered the
poster city for the housing diversity
that many Vancouver politicians say the
region needs to adopt to make room for
the ever-growing population. The types
of home on offer here are diverse. Older
apartments are usually the cheapest
option, but new condos are still relatively
affordable in this city. Single-family
homes vary in price, depending on
which area of New West they’re in and
their size, of course. Queen’s Park and
Glenbrooke North can be a bit pricey,
but buying in Queensborough will give
you more bang for your buck.
New Westminster Rich heritage, bright future

MORE PHOTOS ONLINEypnexthome.ca
This city is home to all types—
singles, couples, empty-nesters—but
young families are a rapidly growing
group, and it’s no wonder why: from
splash pads scattered throughout the
neighbourhood, to the petting zoo at
Queen’s Park, to Motoring Munchkins
at the Arenex, New West has an
abundance of amenities for tots, but
there is plenty of entertainment for
all ages year ‘round in New West, too,
whether it be strolling through streets
in Queen’s Park to gaze at the cherry
blossoms from the end of March, the
Hyack Festival in May, the Queen’s
Park Annual Garage Sale in May or the
Sapperton Day Street Festival in June.
Walkable and transit friendly
New West Mayor, John Coté, who has
lived in the city for most of his adult
OCT 2 - OCT 16, 2015 | NEW HOME GUIDE 61
life, views it as “extremely walkable
and transit friendly,” crediting recent
changes for the positive to “the growth
of transit-oriented development in the
area.” Since New West is a fairly small
suburb, it is easy to navigate on foot (if
you don’t mind climbing a few hills), and
necessities are close to home in all of its
neighbourhoods.
If you’d like to venture farther afield,
the city is also easily accessible by public
transit, and since it’s adjacent to Surrey,
Burnaby and Coquitlam, commutes to
these cities are fairly swift. A bridge-
free commute downtown makes it a
predictable, if not super fast commute.
Rich history of a former capital
Buildings here reflect the rich history
of the former capital, and areas are
becoming increasingly gentrified. Mayor
Coté, who has lived here most of his
adult life, has seen “a lot of change
in the last 10 years, and significant
revitalization. There has been an influx
of thousands of residents downtown,
and with them has come a new energy
and vibrancy.”
Mayor Coté sees this as just the
beginning of changes to come, noting
that “in the future, there will be a great
connection between downtown and the
waterfront, and a pedestrian bridge will
soon connect Queesborough to those
areas as well.”
Coming Home CaféThis sweet spot has a reputation for great coffee and for feeling like home away from home. Customers fetch their own simple drinks and place settings and servers bring the food and any specialty drinks.
Brick and MortarThis shop is much more than the brick and mortar that hold the store. Hyper-local goods on sale here range from New West made jewellery to art. Great place for a browse.
The Royal City Farmer’s MarketHeld at the Quay during Winter months and in Tipperary Park in the Summer, the Royal City Farmer’s Market, is more than a bunch of fruit and veggie stands, it’s a community gathering place.
Queen’s Park This sprawling park has plenty of activities for the whole family: tennis courts, an arena, the Arenex, a play ground, and both a spray park and a petting zoo from May to September.
The QuayFrom the River Market (which is home to terrific eats, a circus school, and even hosts music and baking lessons for tots) to a walk along the pier, New Westminster Quay has something for everybody.
Pink Ribbon BakeryDelish cupcake concoctions are on sale here on the daily. Need a cake for a special occasion? Sheila can sculpt pretty much anything anybody can dream out of cake, delicious cake.

Wellbeing of Metro Vancouver’s aging population vital
In about 25 years, a quarter of British
Columbians will be over 65 years old.
Those who don’t want to drive, or
can’t, might consider cities to be the
obvious place to live, since they are
more walkable, o� ering easy access
to transit, shopping, health care and
greenspace. Making cities better
places to live for an aging population
is a worldwide concern. Not only does
taking care of an aging population help
to foster the fair and equal treatment
of all citizens, but retirees are also
important economic contributors
in our communities, buying goods
and services that help to keep others
employed. Furthermore, the aging
population has a wealth of knowledge
and skills that the younger populations
should be tapping into. Keeping the
aging population healthy also means
lower health costs overall.
Up your alley: revisioning Vancouver downtown laneways
Downtown laneways are getting a
makeover. If you’re used to thinking
of laneways as dark, dingy paths
that you would rather avoid walking
down at night, then you may want
to check in with what’s happening
with laneways today. The City of
Vancouver is encouraging builders
to make downtown laneways more
pedestrian friendly. Case in point: the
new Telus Garden o� ce and residential
development, located in the 500-block
of West Georgia St., is making the
adjacent laneway a more pleasant
place to be. Once this development is
complete, the laneway will be much
more than a space for delivery trucks;
instead, it will feature retail space and
an art lantern installation. The idea
of rethinking laneways as retail space
seems a natural extension of their being
repurposed for housing throughout
the city. Since 2009, close to 2,000
laneway houses have been approved,
By Diane Dufl ot
a number which is certain to increase
steadily, as Vancouver searches for more
room in which to house its ever-growing
population.
Urban rooftop gardens: sustainability is looking up
As the interest in living local continues to
rise, urban dwellers are looking for a new
space to grow food. Enter the rooftop
garden. Also known as “green roofs,”
these are located at the top of a house
or a building that is protected with a
waterproof barrier, and they are cropping
up in cities across North America. Not
only does a green roof have the potential
to beautify an often overlooked space
and to produce food that the inhabitants
of the building can consume, but green
roofs can also minimize the e� ect of
rain runo� , such as fl ooding or even
water supply contamination. On top of
this, urban gardens fi lter out pollution,
purifying the air, and they keep the roof
warmer in the winter and cooler in the
summer, which moderates the amount
of energy necessary to maintain the
temperature indoors.

design gurus such as co-host of W Network’s Love it or List it
Vancouver Jillian Harris, and hundreds of the industry’s finest
Canadian renovation, decoration and landscaping specialists.
Whether you are revamping your kitchen, downsizing or
switching up your home décor, this year’s show will enthuse
and arouse your inner designer.
“The Vancouver Home + Design Show is gearing up for
another stellar season,” says Tyson Kidd, show director.
“Not to be missed is the return of Game of Homes

Trending | VANCOUVER HOME + DESIGN SHOW
By Michelle Hopkins
Arouse your inner designer at the VANCOUVER HOME + DESIGN SHOW 2015
one-time-only appearance of Samantha Pynn from HGTVs
Open House Overhaul.”
One of the biggest trends at this year’s show can be summed
up in one word—texture, texture, texture—whether it be in
your furniture, accessories, landscaping, wall paint or flooring,
texture is by far the biggest craze to hit our shores.
“Add texture to any space and any piece in or around your
home,” says Kidd. “Finding a wallpaper, blanket, area rug or
throw pillow that you can’t stop touching is one of the most
satisfying additions to your space.”
The Vancouver Home + Design Show 2015 runs from
October 22 to the 25 at the Vancouver Convention Centre -
West. For more information or to purchase tickets to this
year’s show, visit www.vancouverhomeanddesignshow.com

New Home Guide asked three guest speakers to provide us
with what’s trending right now:
TV interior stylist Janette Ewen and designer/fabricator Jef
Hancock, founders of Parker Barrow and cheeky-chic décor
aficionados:
» Fall and spring 2016 is about bringing a few Miami Beach
pops into your décor, whether on a throw, pillows,
accessories or on an accent wall. Liven up your space with
“winks” of teal and blue. “These Miami Beach hues were
inspired by the colours of Morocco and Greece, and work
especially well with mid-century modern décor. We also will
see more concrete grey in homes.”
» Add whimsical/playful accessories to create a cozy feel.
Think everything from floating brightly coloured balls
hanging from the ceiling to an oversized wing sculpture,
to an old rotary phone and large candelabras. Use your
imagination and rethink how an item can be repurposed.
» When adding conversation pieces play with scale. A hot pink
accent wall might seem a bold move, but it works wonders
when paired with warm rose gold metallics and generous-
sized shapes. “The pink rooms, walls and furniture that we
are seeing now are revisiting the Golden Girls era but with
more of a Santa Fe feel to it.”
» Brushed warm metallics, whether they are gold or bronze
fixtures or a copper hood fan, add personality to your home.
» Fabrics and prints. A wallpapered ceiling or bold geometric
accessory can easily take a space from drab to fab.
Example: Lattice wallpapers with large lobster or shark
prints are in vogue. “Actress Elisha Cuthbert (of the series
24 ) recently put our lobster print wallpaper in her PEI
bathroom,” says Ewen.
» Layering shades of white anywhere in your home is still red hot.
OCT 2 - OCT 16, 2015 | NEW HOME GUIDE 69
» Incorporating a few edgy industrial elements blend history
and hipness even to modern decor. Think Edison-style light
bulbs, industrial lamps, trunks or card catalogues.
» Ornate double doors at the entrance can be “your calling
card to your home.” OR loft or barn-type doors with sliding
mounting tracks give separation to an open concept design.
» Carpets in large geometric patterns.
Christina Dennis, blogger at The DIY Mommy, winner of the
show’s Western Canada’s Next Home Stylist competition:
» Move over stainless steel! Mixed metals, such as warm tones
of chrome, burnished copper and hammered bronze, are the
must-have metals. You can include mixed metals into your
hardware, accessories and light fixtures. “Brass or copper
sinks lend an air of elegance to your kitchen.”
» Black or dark-coloured walls in Marseille hues such as
burgundy or oxblood. “Where we went for light, bright
colours on accent walls in recent years, we are now seeing
deep, rich coloured walls.”
» Pillows in burlap, leather, faux fur or with words and quotes
are easy and inexpensive ways to change your décor for the
new season.
» Rugs are always in style. “I made a faux cowhide rug from
fabric I found online.”
» Mixing up vintage with industrial has been trending for a
couple of years now and it doesn’t seem to be going out of
style anytime soon.
» Old doors can be painted, distressed and made into
tabletops, frames or pieces of artwork.
In the end, it’s all about letting your personality shine
through:
All the designers agree on one thing: If a trend doesn’t reflect
your personal style or resonate with your lifestyle, don’t follow it.
Your home décor should be an extension of your individuality.
