Waterford Lakes, Avalon Park sitting pretty with retail, schools, roads

Image
Waterford Lakes is a suburban, family-centric haven that’s probably best known for the Waterford Lakes Town Center , a formidable shopping center that spans both sides of State Road 434 , known locally as the Alafaya Trail. Proximity to the University of Central Florida and Florida State Road 408 are also prime motivators for those considering a move to this east Orlando community . Waterford Lakes is a neighborhood, not a city; homes here have an Orlando address . Waterford Lakes residents want for very little in the way of major shopping and dining — huge big-box merchants (Old Navy, Super Target, Best Buy, etc.) are prevalent, along with popular restaurant chains , a massive Regal theater , and smaller but equally well known retailers. Despite a preponderance of big names, independent shops and cafes do proliferate, though you’ll need to search them out. Most blend into the architecture, most of which is new and attractive, but largely strip-mall/shopping center-style. Near th...

[PNG Merlin Archive] PNG PNG Savvy buyers of new apartments in Metro Vancouver tend to do their research on who’s building them. Good reputations take years to develop and the people at Townline are using the company’s reputation for quality in their sales pitch for The Parker, a new 47-home development in the ever- popular Cambie corridor . Townline is a local operation that has been building homes in Vancouver since 1981. Back then, it was single-family homes, but the company has since branched out to building multi-family homes, mixed-use buildings, rental apartments and non- market developments in Metro Vancouver and on Vancouver Island. “Buyers in today’s market are increasingly choosing developments based on the reputation of the developers,” said Chris Colbeck, Townline’s vice-president of sales and marketing. “A big part of our sales pitch at The Parker is that we’re a local developer.
