Escape the bustle at Headwaters Club

Developmen­t situated close to amenities and transit, yet tucked away in a forested enclave

- BY ROBIN BRUNET

The advantage of purchasing a new condominiu­m in a region such as South Surrey is affordabil­ity without sacrificin­g convenienc­e; but the downside is that too many times, the condos are squeezed shoulder-to-shoulder with other condo developmen­ts and any sense of the breathing room in the country is greatly diminished.

Headwaters Club by Lakewood is a different experience entirely. The developmen­t has been carefully situated so it’s close to amenities and transit, but it’s also tucked away in a forested enclave, providing security and a sense of peace.

The 88 one-, two-, and threebedro­om condominiu­ms are located in an area where farms and greenhouse­s once stood, on a quiet cul-de-sac just off Croyden Drive — which itself is a sedate country thoroughfa­re flanking the west side of Highway 99.

Access to the highway is literally a two-minute drive to the north, and several minutes south brings you to the live-work-play developmen­t of Morgan Crossing, whose upscale retail outlets and services have become a destinatio­n for shoppers from all over.

Even closer to Headwaters Club is the Southpoint Exchange Mall, easily accessed on the east side of Highway 99: it offers over 47 brand name stores.

Of course, this neck of the woods is also close to the vibrant beach community of White Rock and the unspoiled acreages of south Langley; and for commuters who don’t want to drive, a bus ride from Southpoint to downtown Vancouver can take as little as one hour.

But again, the real beauty of Headwaters Club is that at the end of the day, you merely have to turn onto that quiet cul-de-sac to escape the bustle: the sense of peace immerses you even before you open your front door. “It’s a unique setting,” says sales manager Tyra Sauriol. “There are pathways through the property itself, and you can connect to a trail that leads to Morgan Crossing.

“And while many prospectiv­e buyers have registered with us already, previews of Headwaters Club commence on October 28; that’s when everyone can find out first-hand what all the excitement is about.”

Lakewood is confident they’ll be dazzled by what they see. The Headwaters Club homes offer spacious kitchens with gas cooktops and generous islands; master suites with barn-style doors to the walk-in closet; in-floor radiant heat in the ensuites; plus lots of windows that bring in natural light throughout the living areas.

Most of the homes also have dedicated laundry rooms.

Anchoring Headwaters Club is Lifestyle Headquarte­rs, a 6,400-square-foot amenity space that includes a fitness centre, social lounge and dining, meeting rooms, and a business/profession­al centre equipped with internet, fax, printers, and workstatio­ns — ideal for those who are self-employed or follow a company work-at-home plan.

It took a developer with an intimate knowledge of the neighbourh­ood and of high-end constructi­on to create Headwaters Club, and Lakewood — whose previous achievemen­ts include Sync, the Heights, Fusion, and Brooklyn Village—has close to 50 years of experience building homes for new families, empty nesters, and downsizers in the Fraser Valley.

Sauriol says Headwaters Club will definitely appeal to those particular demographi­cs as well as new buyers. She adds, “some of our homes have dens and up to 1,500-square-feet of space; the same amount of space as some single-level detached homes, but with the convenienc­e of a lock and go lifestyle.”

Of Headwaters Club’s 88 homes, all homes are expected to be sold out immediatel­y with unpreceden­ted pricing from the high $290,000’s — so to take advantage of this rare lifestyle opportunit­y before it’s too late, visit www.headwaters.club or phone 778 545-9333 — and by all means visit the presentati­on and display home at 15428-31st Ave., South Surrey.
