Check out our real estate services for buying and selling your home. Looking for your dream home in Thornbury means discussing what is important to you, what your lifestyle needs are, and researching the popular neighbourhoods in Thornbury that will fit within these goals.
What is important to you?
Having an idea of what your must-haves in a home are is a crucial step to buying a home. Are there things you are or aren’t willing to compromise on? Does the home have to have a marble kitchen island or is that something you could renovate down the line?
What lifestyle do you want?
Are you looking to be walkable to town so you can shop the local shops and eat out every night? Or are you interested in being a bit more secluded and having lots of outdoor space for growing your own food or hosting? Are you wanting to be close to the ski hill or trails? What about walking the kids to school, or is a quick drive and dropping them off on your way to work okay? If you do have children, there is one great elementary school in Thornbury, called Beaver Valley Community School that your children could attend.
These are just a couple of questions and ideas for you to consider which lifestyle you want to live.
Next we look at Popular Neighbourhoods in Thornbury:
Lora Bay
— where the adults come to play! Lora Bay is a very popular neighbourhood, located a few minutes away from Thornbury is worth it as you get to live on a golf course! There is a private beach for Lora bay owners, a recreation centre and restaurant, pro shop and meeting space. Homes in Lora bay are sectioned into 4 areas. East, west, water front and cottages (Check out my Youtube Video on Lora Bay by clicking here). If you can wait to build this may be the way to go!
AppleJack/Rankins Landing
— These townhouse condos are another popular option in Thornbury real estate since they are a good starter for first time buyers or down sizers. It is also a perfect weekend place for skiers and summer getaways without worrying about the upkeep! Ideally situated on the west side of town south of highway 26. Onsite amenities include outdoor pools, tennis courts and it is walkable to trails, downtown, located near a dog park, baseball diamond community centre.
Millpond
— Ohhhh to have a home/condo that backs onto the Millpond here in town! The millpond is fed by the beaver river and active pond life makes for hours of peace and calm. Homes along the millpond are off Alice street, Elgin, and Mcauley. Off highway 26 are 12 units facing the pond and 9 off the front, a super cozy community where we all look out for each other. Condos are reverse floor plan in the front and back are bungalow and bunga-loft style. These popular homes in Thornbury rarely come up for sale so you need a local realtor who not only lives there, but can call “dibs” for you 🙂
Bayside
— If you are into modern and new, there is a sweet new development that is just off grey road 40. Bayside is an up and coming popular neighbourhood in Thornbury real estate since the current purchasers are just moving into phase one, but I am sure there will be a few resales in the next year or so. Great views of the escarpment, 7 minutes to Thornbury and right off the Georgian trail make this enclave very special indeed!
High Bluff Lane and Timber Lane
— If you want to be just on the West side of Thornbury there is a newer pocket of chalet-style single detached family homes on very generous lots. I started selling these homes with builders several years back and I can assure you this tight knit community, and wonderful neighbourhood in Thornbury that really looks out for each other.
Life lease off Napier
— Typically a 55+ community where you own the land but pay land lease fee. Phase 1 is sold out but the next phase is slated for release 2023. These are great new builds and popular for downsizers who want main floor living and a smaller home.
