Exciting news - Cherrywood Homes is now accepting registrations for Phase 2 of an intimate collection of luxury semis and townhomes in Pickering Village, Ajax called Village Creek.

A few of the notable interior features and finishes include high quality ceramic tile, 9’ ceilings on the main floors, solid oak handrails and pickets, natural gas and electric fireplaces (where applicable), granite countertops in the stunning kitchens, and raised oval tubs in the elegant ensuites. With Cherrywood’s meticulous attention to detail, the smallest finishes make a huge difference in the overall atmosphere of the homes.

Nestled right up against the edge of the ravine near Randall Road and Highway 2 - Kingston Road, Village Creek is surrounded by every amenity for which a family could dream. Pickering Village is an historic area of Ajax, and offers a number of boutiques, supermarkets, schools, walking trails, and transit options.

One of the best ways to take advantage of the breathtaking natural surroundings in the Pickering Village is to explore the Trans Canada Trail, which is actually the world’s longest network of connecting trails! As of this year, nearly 75% of the Trans Canada Trail is accessible, which equals nearly 17,000 kilometres of trails. When the network is finally connected, the trail will span 23,000 kilometres from the Atlantic to the Pacific and to the Arctic oceans. Also, Village Creek is a few minutes by car away from Lake Ontario, and Ajax features the longest stretch of undeveloped shoreline in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA)!

When it comes to choosing a new neighbourhood for your family to call home, it’s very important that there is a great selection of schools. The closest school to Village Creek is Saint George’s School, and it’s practically on the community’s site. There are many nursery schools, public and separate schools, and a public high school, so Village Creek is a fantastic community in which to set firm roots and raise a family.

Gathering ingredients to prepare school lunches for the kids and family dinner is a cinch with Sobeys, Shoppers Drug Mart and Walmart just a short drive away. There are also many specialty food markets, such as Healthy Planet Pickering, and Baksh West Indian Food Mart, which can be reached in less than 10 minutes by walking.

Pickering Village is known for its lively annual events, such as the Jazz/Music festival (which occurs in June) and the Lighting of the Village Christmas Tree with Carols (happening on December 5th this year). Established in the early 1800s, the village area has strong historical roots and a rich, diverse culture that makes for a healthy family environment.

Getting around the neighbourhood is a breeze with express and local buses running along Kingston Road, and the Ajax GO Station is easily accessible. For commuters who prefer to drive to work, Highways 401 and 407 are the closest major transportation arteries and connect you to neighbouring cities like Whitby and Scarborough. For those who work downtown Toronto, hopping on the 401 will whisk you away, getting you to work in just over half an hour.
