Comfortable Living for the over-40 seeking convenient, enjoyable living spaces. Photo Credit: Edmonton Sun

Central Alberta has a lot going for it. A thriving economy that is the envy of the country, growing population and amenities spread throughout the few dozen communities here.

But the demographics of our cities and towns is changing. The number of retirees and seniors is on the rise and is expected to climb leading into 2020.

And this is good news! Our aging population is the most active in recorded history, and the lifestyle they seek is something that developers have been working towards for over a decade. Building over-40 communities that appeal to the active and energetic lifestyle of the Boomer generation is an important way for our communities to grow sustainably.

One such community is the Villas at Lacombe Park in sunny St. Albert. Offering numerous home options for empty nesters, this community caters to those families who may be experiencing a change in the size of the family in a household. With bright floor plans from 1235 to 1530 sq. ft., residents will easily discover the right St. Albert home for them.

• Soft-line corners
• Galliano levered door handles

• Professional Interior Design Consultation
• Finished basements
• Hardwood and ceramic flooring
• 6 Appliances
• Window coverings
• Energy Efficient windows for ultimate temperature control
• Bright, open floor plans from 1235 to 1530 sq. ft.
