Family Life in a Langford Condo



As affordability and availability of single family homes have risen through the last few years, attitudes toward family spaces are shifting. Condo living can be just as fulfilling for the progressive-thinking family as for anyone. 

Here are some considerations for families:
Space. Obviously the biggest challenge families have is rambunctious tots who move a lot, and all the accoutrements that go along with them — craft supplies, bedding, study spaces, books, and toys, toys, and more toys. There are numerous space-saving storage ideas out there which make modern life in smaller spaces possible and even enjoyable. If you are feeling particularly challenged, why not hire a clutter or storage consultant to help you maximize the space? It’s a small investment for a potentially huge gain.

Proximity to other families. It’s always nice when children are able to walk to a friend’s house, or have their friends over. You just can’t beat a trip down the hall or across the parking area. That’s not only convenient for the kids — parents of younger children are able to help each other out easily within a condo setting as well. 

Moreover, without all that land to take care of, and outdoor maintenance all cared for, condo living offers families the gift of time. Smaller spaces make for less to clean!

At Triple Crown, families are just steps away from the abundance of Florence Lake, with fishing, swimming, nature trails, and cycling paths all around. Langford is practically the epicenter of family activities for the Capital Region. In Langford you’ll find numerous parks, two public libraries, PlayZone, Tumblebums Play Centre, and City Centre Park with a bowling alley, ice rinks, sports fields, and lots of other amenities. On rainy days West Shore Mall also has an indoor play area for little ones. 

With convenient access to the highway, our location means all the services your family needs, in the whole region, are also just moments away.

Why not consider the advantages of life in a Langford condo?

BC Government Legislating Measures Designed to Control Home Prices and Increase Rental Vacancy

Recent legislation introduced by the BC Government will require builders to collect and report their buyer's information on the purchase and sale of condos before they are built. The NDP are putting this practice into place because they are concerned speculators are making purchases, riding out the equity increases while the property is being built, then selling them at a profit without ever living in them or reporting any of the capital gains.  “This is a key step to stopping people from using presale condos as a quick, lucrative investment,'' says Carol James. ``It's also to stop them from driving prices up for British Columbians trying to get into the housing market.'' This legislation would force the reporting of the condo flips and allow the government to collect the tax. Whether or not one agrees with their legislation, if you read between the lines, the government is taking action because it recognizes the value in pre-sale condos as a wa...

No Rentals to be Found

The rental vacancy rate in B.C. has hovered at an average of 1.3 per cent over the past three years, according to stats from the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. In Victoria, the rate sat at only 0.5 per cent at the end of 2016. In the Lower Mainland, the City of Vancouver’s rate is 0.8 per cent, while Surrey sits at 0.4 per cent. The rate is 0.5 in Abbotsford and Mission, and White Rock has the fewest available rentals in the region, at 0.1 per cent. Kelowna is sitting at 0.6 per cent. If you have kids going to Royal Roads, consider helping them buy a Triple Crown condo instead of living in barely suitable accommodations in the rental market. A condo is a valuable family asset that will appreciate, and a good way to set your kids on a path towards building their own financial future rather than a landlord's.
