卡尔加里近市中心Infill房屋 – 独立屋 vs 连体屋

准备居住靠近市中心新房子的房主们总是会面临两大抉择，选独立屋呢？还是连体房屋？

(上图为一套West Hillhurst在售的1992年建成的独立屋，还是这三个社区最便宜的呢，挂牌价$699,999)

最明显的区别大家都知道，那就是独立屋中间没有共享的那堵墙。普通的连体屋建筑在50英尺的地块上，所以如果你看到的连体屋DUPLEX占地比这个宽，那就是个好地块。

有时建筑商在50英尺/15.24米的地块上建造2个独立屋，房屋一般宽17英尺。所以，设计方案、建筑格局很重要。但是在50英尺的地块上建造的DUPLEX，就有21英尺宽，提供更舒适的生活空间。

买家购买独立屋，还是连体屋？很大程度上取决了购买预算。

每个人都梦想拥有惊人的宅邸、城市中的PENTHOUSE，或者靠近湖边的别墅，尽管要花费普通工薪阶层房屋的3-4倍费用。但是当时机成熟时，当购买能力不再是问题时，不少人还是大方出手。下面是购买之前，您可以做的简单准备：

 1 –准备购买社区的条条框框（主要指郊区的别墅社区）
很多社区的Home Owner Association设有不少条条框框，请确保购买之前已经有所了解!

2 –您准备购买房屋所在街是否是什么现存问题？
和街上邻居聊聊天，大出手购买之前多多了解不会有错的。

3 –准备购买的房屋是否同时是个非常好的投资？
在高尚社区置业是笔重大投资，最好找个有经验的买家代理帮助您找到该社区性价比高的房屋，这样更加保值，并且升值。

4 –该房屋是否坐落在您家想住的地方?
仔细问问自己，您是否在市中心工作，想拥有离单位更近的，但是占地稍小的INNER CITY INFILL社区？还是想找找田园的感觉、住在边缘的Aspen Woods、Springbank Hill，同时也交通方便。

Quarry Park in SE Calgary was an area worn down over time by industry and eventually was no longer used as a gravel site. After the area became free for development the city and developers were left questioning what to do with the area. This is when Remington Development Corporation did well by stepping in and taking charge.

Lafarge was the former owner of the gravel quarry, a company that Remington Development Corporation had a relationship with through their own commercial real estate endeavors. Remington was looking to step out of strictly commercial and venture into residential developments where they could truly integrate commercial and residential into a community with a seamless design. Quarry Park’s riverfront property and close proximity to the future south east LRT was too good of an opportunity to pass up! Now transformed by Remington Development Corporation into an eco-friendly, innovative neighbourhood, Quarry Park has become a popular destination for people looking to buy a new home in Calgary.

Quarry Park is Eco-Friendly

• Features multiple LEED certified buildings in its centrally located, European town style market. LEED certification is not an easy thing to come by and has many rigorous requirements of buildings before they are given this prestigious certification

• Any old constituents of the quarry such as asphalt, aggregate and concrete were used in the new development of the SE riverside community, reducing the environmental footprint left by the developer during construction.

• An innovative, storm water filtration system has been added to waterways found within the community to clean any storm water before releasing it back into the Bow River

One of the main purposes of the developer is to make the community a walk-able, connected community where residents don’t necessarily have to rely on cars to get around. Not only is there a future LRT terminal planned in the neighbourhood, it is also connected to several hundred kilometers of pathways found on the embankments of the Bow and Elbow Rivers and main recreational areas such as Fish Creek Provincial Park.

This community has it all! An inherently eco-friendly, riverside community with endless recreational opportunities and less than a twenty minute drive to downtown Calgary, it’s no wonder its homes are highly sought after on today’s market!
