If you’re looking for a new area in Canada with plenty to offer to families, look no further than the Niagara region. Perhaps the best thing about the Niagara area is its attractive features for people of any age, so you can be sure your family will have lots to explore and enjoy for many years. Here are a few of the specific reasons why families love Niagara.
The Relaxed and Enjoyable Small-Town Way of Life
There are many reasons why anyone buying a new home would want to escape from the hectic lifestyle required by large cities like Toronto. If you’ve been suffering from a long commute to and from work every day, it won’t take much convincing for you to consider an area with little traffic to worry about in comparison.
If this describes your situation, you need to talk to a Niagara Region home builder immediately. Luckily, you’ve already taken the first step towards finding an exquisite custom home in the perfect location: you’ve found our team here at Blythwood Homes.
Family Life in a Quiet Area
If you’re trying to raise a family in a major city like Toronto, you might as well stop paying attention to the news. The amount of violence that occurs in any part of the city every night is enough to cause anyone with young children to want to run for the hills. The chances are that you’ve already been considering how living in a quiet rural setting, surrounded by friendly neighbours, would change things for the better.
If so, you can consider a move-in ready home that will allow you to move to the Niagara region as quickly as possible. If you’re looking for a sound investment property for your family, there are many reasons a Blythwood Home will provide you with an excellent option.
A Better Family Investment
For example, if you are looking for a way to save money while purchasing a new home, you can consider buying a townhome with a basement unit. You’ll gain more control over ensuring you end up with friendly and responsible neighbours while ensure you earn extra income. If you’re receiving support from your parents towards the purchase of a first home, the immediate return on rental income is the perfect way to create a win-win situation for everyone involved.
Considering a Custom Home
The best part of moving to a nicer location is that you can also take control of the home you decide to buy. When you choose a custom home from our building experts at Blythwood Homes, you’ll gain an exciting level of control over the features included in your new home. Building a custom home with a unique floor plan designed to suit your needs is an excellent way to turn your next property into a dream home.
Buying a custom home will allow you to change the floor plan, such as adding extra rooms to accommodate your growing family or potential houseguests. You can also decide on more specific details like the type of flooring, appliances or lighting fixtures you’d like included with your finished design.
Gaining control over your home in this way will ensure you’re happy with the result for years to come without needing further renovations later on. It will also guarantee you get the best in building materials.
If there’s one thing you can be sure to get when you move your family to the Niagara Region, you’ll find plenty of things to enjoy. Here are a few of the most popular attractions enjoyed by local residents and visitors alike:
Fun and Exciting Attractions
Beyond the idyllic setting of a small-town lifestyle, there are plenty of things to do when you’re moving to the Niagara Region to get away from the hectic lifestyle of the city. If you’re worried about whether leaving the city will prevent your kids from getting to enjoy amazing experiences, then it’s time to take a closer look at all of the exciting attractions the Niagara region has to offer.
Getting Back to Nature
The horseshoe falls and its surrounding attractions might get all the attention, but that’s far from the extent of what you can find in the area if you’re looking for more ways to connect with nature. One of the most overlooked aspects of the Niagara region by tourists is the extensive network of parks and hiking trails nearby.
Due partly to unique natural features like the Niagara escarpment, the region offers a natural setting of parkland filled with beautiful lookouts and views and an extensive system of hiking trails suitable for people of all ages and athletic abilities. Canada’s Great Lakes surrounding the area also offer some of the best freshwater beaches in the country right in your backyard.
Wine Country
Let’s face it, mom and dad deserve a break from the kids every now and then. But you won’t have to commute all the way back to Toronto to find exciting nightlife and world-class fare.
For example, the northern Niagara region boasts unique conditions that perfectly support the growing of soft fruit, such as grapes and peaches. As such, the area is filled with world-class wineries within close proximity of each other. And if you can’t find a babysitter, many of the local wineries and craft breweries in the Niagara region offer family-friendly environments.
The best part is that these wineries are not closed to the public. You can visit each location for wine tasting, tours and other special events. Given the number of scenic walking trails and bike paths in the area, many people who live in the area enjoy going on bicycle tours of the area, where you can take in the natural beauty of the lakefront while enjoying a delicious sample from various wine producers.
Visit Niagara-on-the-Lake
Even if you decide to buy a house that’s located closer to the shores of Lake Erie, anywhere you decide to live in the Niagara region is only a short drive from cities like St. Catharines or Niagara Falls and the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, which offers quaint shops and attractive architecture.
When you live in the Niagara region, you get to experience the best of both worlds. That is, you’ll be able to live the friendly and charming slow-paced lifestyle of a small-town environment while also living with quick access to excellent entertainment options.
