There is a reason people are seeking fresh air, friendly faces and a new way of life. Smaller towns, lower crime rates, the sound of birds instead of car horns have made many rethink how they want to live their lives.
“People in larger centres often don’t even know their neighbours,” says Lesley-Anne Goodfellow of RiversEdge Luxury Condominiums in Bracebridge. “It’s actually a sad statement. While there are many reasons for people to live longer, more fulfilling lives, one of them is the importance of having community.”
RiversEdge condos had this in mind when they built their Common Room and set up their Muskoka River patio, which has two barbeques, Muskoka chairs, and a magnificent view of the water. “It’s all about slowing down, appreciating the beauty all around you, and enjoying good food and good times with people you care about.”
Going with the theme of slowing down, leaving the snow shoveling and yard maintenance to the professionals has its appeal in all four seasons of the year. “In the winter, you can pack up, head south, and not worry about a thing, or you can stay and simply enjoy the peace and tranquility of a Muskoka winter without having to worry about every snowfall.”
In the summer, from your large open-concept condo, you can admire the picturesque view of the river right outside your window. You can walk down to one of the available boat slips and launch directly from the dock outside your condo, or enjoy a refreshing swim, or simply relax on your porch overlooking this renowned body of water.
All condos have high-end finishes like hardwood, heated floors, and zoned air conditioning. The 2,200 sq ft penthouses include soaker tubs and gas fireplaces. Every home also has a balcony or deck of varying sizes.
“If you’re feeling the lack of nature in your life or the need for a different pace, Muskoka has a lot to offer,” Lesley-Anne says. “And we have your new home waiting for you.”
