New House Construction

If you have driven by the townsite at all in the last year, you know there has been a flurry of new house construction, almost exclusively concentrated on Mountview Drive down by the Crandell Lodge.

For those that haven't been to Waterton in a while here are the images.


The new house about 4 down from the Crandell. A decent design. While I could be wrong, the dormers seem to be framed merely for cosmetics.



The Remmington's new place. A very nice design that works with the Park's stringent square footage restriction. Let's be thankful people aren't pushing more of those ugly A framed styles to get more volume while keeping the footprint small.



The log home adjacent to the Crandell. I can't say I am a fan of most log homes unless they are in a thick lodgepole forest. At least they kept some large trees on the lot.

There are still quite a few other houses for sale. Nothing seems to be moving. I guess the real estate boom is still bottoming out. I know in Lethbridge things are still quite overpriced. It was just a matter of time till real estate here finally settled into with the perpetuity of dual income families - its not what things are worth, its what people can pay.
