AquaBlu Condos by Homes By DeSantis Coming Spring 2015
By Lucas on Dec 16, 2014
The beauty of boutique condos is that they can be built in places where you may never expect. When you think of Grimsby, you probably think of a small waterfront town in the Niagara Region with quaint historical architecture and a picturesque landscape. Well, now when Grimsby is mentioned in conversation, you can get excited about Homes By DeSantis’ new condo, AquaBlu, which is coming spring 2015!
Homes by DeSantis just started collecting registrations for AquaBlu last month, and already, they have received a lot of interest in the new development. AquaBlu will rise to five storeys and also feature a large three-storey commercial section, which will be accessible right off the QEW. There will also be four two-storey townhomes available, and these homes will be the closest to the lake out of all the units at AquaBlu. There are a few other condo buildings in the area, but Homes By DeSantis believes that their addition to the neighbourhood will stand out thanks to its modern-contemporary design, fantastic amenity spaces, and luxuriously appointed suites.
One of the reasons that AquaBlu has been well received is the combination of condo living in a small-town atmosphere. The majority of condo options are located downtown Toronto, but not everyone wants a downtown urban lifestyle. There is a demographic that potentially doesn't receive enough attention in the new home industry - people who don’t like cities but want the convenience of a condo lifestyle.
The exciting thing about Homes By DeSantis building a condo in a small town is that they are primarily a low-rise family community builder, so they are taking everything they know about developing a thriving family community and applying it to waterfront condo living. With a few townhomes available at AquaBlu, there will surely be a few other units that accommodate small to medium families.

Families aren’t the only ones looking for a convenient lifestyle outside the hustle and bustle of the city. Retirees and empty nesters may find an environment like Grimsby’s lakeshore more tranquil than downtown Toronto, but they also don't want to maintain a whole home or mow lawns and shovel driveways.
Whether families, couples, small families, or all of the above end up moving into AquaBlu, they will all surely appreciate the nearby neighbourhood amenities that make condo living even easier. Families and couples looking to start a family will be happy to know that there are many schools in the area, including Lakeview Public School, John Knox Christian School, and Grimsby High School. What homebuyers at AquaBlu will quickly discover about the area is that all the neighbourhood amenities are peppered from east to west, so even if you find yourself on one side of the town, most daily errands will be easily accomplished.
A perfect example is the numerous grocery store locations. In between QEW on-ramps, there is a Real Canadian Superstore, Sobeys, Food Basics, and an M&M Meat Shops! And the majority of the restaurants and shops can be found along Livingston Avenue and Main Street East. Basically, this is the perfect neighbourhood for anyone who wants to live in an area where nothing is more than a 10 minute drive away.
Of course, Grimsby features a wide selection of parks and parkettes. Murray Street Park, Nelles Beach Park, and Grimsby Beach are all located right on the water, and there are many more further south. There is also a conservation area, and one of the most beautiful parks in Grimsby is definitely Centennial Park.
