If you had $5 million dollars to spend, what would you choose to live in? A 12,000 sqft mansion on a 10 acre lot with all the bells and whistles such as a tennis court, basketball court, salt-water pool and have it all located in a private/remote area located in Langley? Or would you choose to live in an average 4,900 sqft home on a 7,000 sqft lot located in Vancouver? The 12,000 sqft mansion would be a no-brainer right? Well that’s what majority of the top business people and executives in Vancouver are now choosing. But maybe you hate the commute out of the city? Well we have a solution for that as well.
Vancouver executives are cashing out of the Vancouver Real Estate Market and are now cashing in on large country mansions located in the Langley Real Estate Market. Why? Because you get a better bang for your buck. For the same price you get a larger estate, acreage, and you get away from the busy city lifestyle.
There’s a reason why Cressey – one of the most prominent developers – developed an equestrian themed neighbourhood called “High Point Estates” located in Campbell Valley, Langley. High Point Estates features large traditional styled homes located on large pieces of land. This area boasts some of the nicest homes in Metro Vancouver. So I’m not really surprised why Vancouver executives are now moving to Langley. However, you may be wondering since most executives work in Downtown Vancouver, wouldn’t it take them a long time to commute to work everyday? Yes, that is if they drove; on a good day it would take them about an hour, however most of these executives don’t drive to work. They fly on a helicopter! It takes them roughly less then fifteen minutes to get to Downtown Vancouver by ways of a helicopter. Pretty sweet eh?
Since there has been a large portion of executives moving into Langley, Sky Helicopters started an exclusive membership program back in January 2016 where they will take people from their homes in Langley to their offices located in Downtown Vancouver.
So what are your thoughts? Would you rather live in a large country estate and commute to work via helicopter or would you rather live in the city? Email us your thoughts at info@myhomesearch.com
