Thanks to Tina for filling us in that land clearing at the "Creekside" site is underway as well as the delivery of a few trailers to the site have happened. This is probably going to be the Sales Centre site that we'll be getting familiar with in the next few weeks. At least something is happening, the Mattamy website has had nothing new to offer in the past 2-3 months for the Seaton crowd....
I've started fiddling with some free Forum servers. I'm hoping to have something up in the next few weeks as I work out the format. I want to keep it simple with room to expand as our needs do as a community. We will be needing a good forum to share info and ideas as more is revealed about Creekside. Stay tuned for the link to the forums on the main page.

I went to check out another development by the Monarch Group known as Evergreen. They boast the most green and environmentally friendly community to date. This is what they are selling in Toronto's "popular" Midland Avenue and St. Clair Avenue area (btw...there's nothing exciting in the area save for a Price Chopper, McDonald's, and a Cemetary...but its a 2 minute drive to the Kingston Rd./Bluff's strip...i'll give them that). Nonetheless, they offered details of all of the environmental standards in the building of their community and in each individual home. I'm hoping many of these standards pop up in the Seaton Homes as we all try to decrease our carbon footprints, minimize our waste, energy use and affirm our social responsibility to the environment.
They're looking for $487,000 and up for 30' detached homes topping out at $509,000 for about 23-2400 sqft. Townhomes starting at the $350s in various sizes of about 2000 sqft. Purchase of a unit includes: hardwood engineered oak on the mainfloor and stairs, central air, 5 appliances, energy monitor and $5000 in upgrades for 30' single buyers. Not too shabby for a bonus package but considering these singles are half-a-mil I'd expect those upgrades to be included.
