Are You Looking for a New Luxury Home in Aurora?
By Lucas on Jun 25, 2015
Some of the GTA’s most luxurious estate homes are located in Aurora, and it looks like Fairgate Homes and OPUS Homes will be adding their signature touches to the sophisticated landscape. The two builders are now collecting registrations for a brand new community called Glen Ridge Estates.
The community will feature just 28 lots surrounded by a lush ravine at the corner of Yonge Street and Ridge Road (a short distance north of Bloomington Road). The 50’ and 60’ lots will feature stunning bungalow and two-storey home designs, ranging up to 5,000 square feet. Both Fairgate and OPUS are working together to design French Chateau inspired homes in order to create a cohesive streetscape that promotes high quality living. The homes of Glen Ridge Estates will start from $1.6 million.
Aurora has seen a lot of new development lately, and we’re not surprised at all. The affluent town is highly desirable, there’s a decent amount of developable land available and the mature trees and forests can be maintained. In MoneySense Magazine’s 2015 ranking of Best Places to Live in Canada, Aurora placed near the top due to a number of factors, including a high average household income, healthy population growth, a very low crime rate, good weather, and a fantastic arts and sports community.
The 28 estate homes of Glen Ridge will line a private court and be surrounded by greenery. In addition to the neighbouring forest, Glen Ridge will also be within a close proximity to Beacon Hall Golf Club, as well as Briar Nine Park and Reserve. It always adds value to a community when there is protected and permanent green space in the neighbourhood.
Sometimes you have to make a sacrifice between natural surroundings and convenient amenities - that’s not the case in Aurora. You get the best of both worlds in this town, especially in Glen Ridge’s area! For families, there are many schools that are just a couple minutes away from home, including Highview Public School, Light of Christ Catholic Elementary, and both Catholic and public secondary schools.
For groceries, just head north on Yonge for a minute and you’ll find a Metro, No Frills, and Shoppers Drug Mart. Imagine having a view of a forest outside your kitchen and having super easy access to all the stores you need to keep that gourmet kitchen well stocked. And peppered in between these big box stores, you’ll find a wide variety of restaurants, like Swiss Chalet, Sushi Huang Japanese Cuisine, and Graystones Restaurant, which features European fare.

About the Builders
Fairgate Homes has built over 1,000 homes across the GTA, specializing in everything from affordable townhomes to custom estate homes. When looking for a new home, it’s always a plus to purchase from a builder with experience building custom because their communities will always have that custom feel. Earlier this year, Fairgate launched another luxury estate community in Markham with great success, and those homes were starting at $1.8 million. Glen Ridge is your opportunity to be part of another one of Fairgate’s success stories!
OPUS Homes is a very passionate homebuilder with amazing customer service. From the initial consult to after-sales service, the OPUS team is there for you. And the best part is that OPUS knows what’s best for the Aurora housing market because of their recent success at Aurora Trails. Hundreds of people lined up for the final phase of that community, and we expect the same amount of anticipation to build up for Glen Ridge Estates.
Glen Ridge Estates is expected to preview to registrants next spring, but Fairgate and OPUS will be releasing new information and details leading up to next year’s opening, so register today!
