Question 1

What is it like to live in Edgemoor?

Accepted Answer

This is an exceptionally peaceful site for a destination or "forever" home, whether for a growing family or retirement. It is a tangible physical, emotional and mental escape from the stresses and strains of daily life. Country living with all the benefits of the city.

Question 2

Why is the west side the best location for your forever home?

Accepted Answer

The west side offers an escape from the congestion and hectic environment of other parts of Lethbridge while providing rapid access to the core and south end. Whoop-Up Drive is now twinned on the West Side, and this area is the fastest-growing sector of Lethbridge. You'll find expanding amenities such as grocery stores, banks, restaurants, medical and dental offices, and more, all very close to Edgemoor. The new West Lethbridge City Hub, including the Crossings, the ice arena, and Phase 2 of the ATB Leisure Centre, is just a few minutes away, with much more yet to come.

Question 3

Is there any other development like Edgemoor in Lethbridge?

Accepted Answer

Edgemoor stands out as there are no other available lots in Lethbridge that offer one-acre mountain and river valley views on the city boundary. These lots provide the perfect blend of proximity to amenities, essential services, serenity, and closeness to nature. Once these lots are sold (11 of the 18 are already sold), there will be nothing quite like this in the future. For more details, refer to the 2016 Lethbridge City/County Intermunicipal Development Plan.

Question 4

What are the services provided?

Accepted Answer

City water, power, gas, communication lines (underground) to the property lines. Specifically, although this is just inside the county, Edgemoor consultants deemed it best to provide 200 amp service for, among other things, hot tubs, new induction stovetops, and even charging of hybrid and other vehicles as they come into production. Also, fiberoptic cable will ensure that there is more than enough bandwidth to work from home and for family needs, including home automation and security. Current county acreage  standards require individual potable water cistern attached to the city water line and a septic field system.

Question 5

What are the property taxes like?

Accepted Answer

We think that you will be relieved to know the Mil rate in Lethbridge County. Please inquire about these items with Edgemoor's real estate agency (Contact us page).

Question 6

What are the size requirements for homes in Edgemoor?

Accepted Answer

Homes in Edgemoor should start at 2000 square feet, but larger homes can be easily accommodated due to the 1+ acre lot sizes. However, the emphasis is on the beauty of design rather than size. A well-crafted, modest-sized bungalow home for retirees is also welcomed. For more insights, see comments by Tony Mancini, Architect.

Question 7

How do the architectural guidelines enhance the community?

Accepted Answer

The architectural guidelines ensure a harmonious look among the homes, setting a high standard for country residential living in Lethbridge. These guidelines not only generate excitement with each new design but also protect and even increase property values.

Question 8

Does Lethbridge have excellence in designers, custom home builders and tradesmen to craft high-quality, beautiful residences?"

Accepted Answer

A resounding yes. Purchasers will have the opportunity to select from among the best. Please refer to the Links Page.

Question 9

What is the time frame for building a home?

Accepted Answer

There is a generous allowance of 2 years from the time of purchase to the commencement of construction of the home. This allows the time needed for planning the design of the residence and for financing. There is also an 18-month build envelope.

Question 10

How does this compare with other developments in the area in terms of density?

Accepted Answer

This is the opposite of a high-density neighbourhood. There is more than enough room for amenity structures such as a pool, gardens, larger pergolas or a tennis court. There is just enough distance from neighbours for privacy, yet proximity enough to form great neighbour ties. The end of laneway privacy is also appealing. The vast private coulee land provides privacy and security for Edgemoor at Sunrise Point.

Question 11

How accessible are amenities and major roads from Edgemoor?

Accepted Answer

All roads are paved, and Whoop-Up Drive is now twinned on the West Side. You can reach nearby high schools and public schools in 3 minutes, and the University in 7-8 minutes. This area is much less congested compared to the south side of the city. Most shopping on the West Side is 5-10 minutes away, and you can reach Costco in 13 minutes even during rush hour. The southernmost limits of the city are 16 minutes away. Highway 3 is also just a few minutes away, providing quick access to Chinook hospital and other amenities.

Question 12

In a nutshell, what is it about Edgemoor that sets it apart?"

Accepted Answer

The location comprises the best views, the countryside ambiance with architectural guidelines, the accessible, privately-owned coulee land, and the song of meadowlarks.
