When you’re looking for your brand-new home, finding the community that’s just right for you can be almost as important as finding the right home itself. Edmonton is home to a great number of new communities, each with their own unique advantages, looks and feels. Whether you’re an active family that needs a lot of green space for exercise, a young family that’s looking for playgrounds and great schools, or a professional looking for an easy commute to work, Edmonton has the perfect community for you.
Take a look at some of the areas around the city that Sterling Homes builds in.
Cy Becker was the 2016 winner for Best New Community, so it’s easy to see why families in Edmonton are still flocking to this popular Southeast Edmonton neighbourhood. Residents can easily commute to work via the Anthony Henday or make their way to the Clareview LRT station.
You can get some exercise nearby at the Clareview Recreation Centre or check out the Londonderry Leisure Centre. You also have the option of enjoying
the walking paths, ponds, and green spaces in your own backyard! On the weekend, take the family out to a matinee at Empire Theatres, or simply get your shopping done with Manning Town Centre and Clareview Town Centre only minutes away.
The local school in Cy Becker is Christ the King Elementary and Junior High. This Catholic school runs from kindergarten to grade 9 and is full of great programs.
In Cy Becker, you can take a look at our Apex model - with 2,000 square feet of space, three bedrooms and two-and-half bathrooms, this home offers your family a variety of possibilities, including a den on the main floor with the option to convert it into a legal suite.
McConachie Heights has everything you and your family could need, right at your doorstep. You’ll be able to find plenty of stores at the nearby Manning Town Centre, or if you need to go further afield you can easily get to the Clareview LRT Station which will quickly connect you to the rest of the city.
You’ll also find a full range of schools nearby, such as Christ The King, a brand- new Catholic K-9 school, and Soraya Hafez School, which will teach K-6 and is due to open in September 2020. There are also plans for a community league, soccer fields, skating rink and playground, so McConachie is really a community on the rise.
Sterling builds many of our brand-new and very popular Evolve homes in McConachie, such as the Allure, Asset, Assurance, Sansa and Siren.
