Jasper Condos: Live. Work. Play.

When you’re looking into purchasing your own home, there are a number of questions you ask yourself. Can I afford it? Where is it located? Is it close to public transit? How will I get to work? Are there parks and restaurants nearby?

Providing affordable home ownership opportunities near public transit is important to us. While commuters depend on the GO train to travel to downtown Toronto and Mississauga, the station’s lot is often at over capacity given the demand for parking. The solution to finding affordable housing and relief to your parking woes might be Jasper Condos in Milton.

Live. Milton is one of Canada’s fastest growing communities. Located in the beautiful Niagara Escarpment, Jasper Condos is a new 11-story development that makes affordable home ownership possible for first-time home buyers. Being located so close to the GO station, you can enjoy its small town charm, while having easy access to Toronto and Mississauga. You’ll also have access to a wide range of cultural spaces, conservation parks and other recreational spaces.

Work. Since Jasper Condos is walking distance to the Milton GO station, you’re able to enjoy a bit more sleep, instead of waking up at the crack of dawn and beat the morning rush of drivers, all fighting for a parking spot. You also don’t have to worry about the traffic on the way home and can get home sooner for dinner.

Play. Hike the Bruce Trail, a renowned 885 km trail that passes through central and southern Ontario or enjoy conservation areas such as Crawford Lake and Mount Nemo. Milton also provides facilities such as the Sports Centre, Leisure Centre, Milton Centre for the Arts and the Milton Room Showcase art gallery. Other local amenities include a golf course and shops and restaurants on Main Street.

Location and affordability: the best of both worlds

When people talk about purchasing their own home, one thing that you often hear is location, location, location! The second thing is affordability. That certainly was the case when firefighter and Options purchaser Jason Arias (who was recently featured in the Globe and Mail – read the full article here) was looking into buying a condo that he could afford, but was also close to his daughter Emese’s school.

 

With only $30,000 saved for his down payment, Jason had his doubts about becoming a homeowner. It seemed like it wasn’t possible, but thanks to the $42,000 Options down payment support (something that he doesn’t have to pay back until he sells his home), his dream became a reality! Jason is now a proud owner of a two-bedroom unit at a building called Cranbrooke Village, which is conveniently located near his daughter’s school.

It’s been exciting being part of Jason’s home ownership journey! There is often a misconception that affordable housing means government subsidized housing. That is not the case. Jason has enjoyed decorating and designing his home. Everything from the flooring to the furnishing has a touch of his personality.

Other cities such as Vancouver have been inspired by Options’ Affordable Housing Model and is using a similar model as a solution to their struggles with housing affordability. To read the entire article about Jason, click here.
