It's in Sherwood Park, not in Edmonton. # }1 X8 q! p+ q3 U# N! VI know that Lake Summerside in Edmonton do have estate lots for sale at 400-500k. I have no idea how big they are. But there's powerline just a few hundred meters away.
It's seems you don't really know what you want. You first talked about "acreage", but then shifted the topic to residential lots. They are very different.

I am considering both. " k R5 i$ `+ ^, X$ d5 F, N
Estate lots in the city are expensive, at the same price of 2 acres in the rural area, close to 500k. # m0 o' X9 D5 y4 [3 R
Plus the cost to build a house on such lots/acreage is at least twice to four times as much as normal residential houses. I can't afford it. ' o# s: {" ]' X3 ]6 j* R( J; x& q3 }
So I am trying to find a 1 acre in the rural area, not too far away from the city. 4 v8 a$ X9 v9 H/ l9 n5 UDo you have any information?

既然你还是要造房的,那么最好的选择是已经有房子的可以作为主要住宅的,如: 0 b% I, ^6 _+ zhttp://www.realtor.ca/propertyDetails.aspx?propertyId=10440966 ) E y" \5 e. _8 J5 N' H: p4 I5 W3 m N& R3 a9 f
现在这种房子挺稀缺的,一两年前还有一些100万以内的,现在越来越难。
近郊交通便利一点的,如果能买到1Acre或以下的地,应该二十多万不超过三十万。房子也不会要求建得太大太豪华,建房花销最好能控制在60万左右。已经打肿脸了,不能再多了。9 C) p' _# r2 F4 U; X
其实在住宅区挤挤也不错。 ; \) ^6 L8 ^/ bbrian123 发表于 2011-4-14 09:00
I strongly advise to focus on urban subdivisions, for the money you wanna spend, you can buy or build a pretty nice house in the SW. BTW, do you ever think about the water supply/sewage disposal problem that come with acreage living, these inconvenience is something which urban dwellers may not appreciate.

如果考虑退休以后住的话,建议你到温莎买。我去年买了一英亩,是一个大农田的靠路边的一个角。两边有水沟,非常平整的土地。这个月我种上了樱桃,李子,桃子,还打算种香椿林。水沟里我种了莲藕。土地里各种蔬菜都能种,如果盖房子,水电就在地头,马路对面住着人家。温莎这地方,工作不好找,退休绝对是个好地方,物价低,气候好。我相信20年以后,我们这波大陆移民快到退休的年龄这里肯定会有很多人相中的。我这块地离城里COSTCO 9公里,直线公路,交通非常方便。
