There are many things to consider before building an infill home in Edmonton. This article is going to explain the most important things to keep in mind when building.

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION…

The beauty of building an infill is that most are built in mature neighbourhoods, where amenities and recreation are only a short drive away. There are a multitude of factors to consider, including your interests, what you and your family enjoy, as well as convenience for the needs you may have.

Many areas have a well-established community where everyone is very close, and opportunities like community sports are abundant. Furthermore, building an infill within a school district makes getting to school easy and affordable, allowing more freedom and time for the parents, as well as peace of mind when it comes to the safety of the children.

POTENTIAL PROPERTY VALUE

Another factor is the eventual property value of your infill if you decide later to sell. Generally, property value increases as the community further mature, and more amenities are added to the already abundant list. It is a good idea to think 5-10 years ahead and set yourself up in a community where you can thrive and prosper.

ACCESS TO PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION.

Finally, keep an eye on the new developments for transportation and the existing ones. Edmonton is a growing city, with new implements such as the LRT coming soon. Convenience may also mean choosing to build close to a major artery, such as the Yellowhead, allowing for ease and speed of access to all parts of Edmonton, as opposed to living in a new community.
