Making the move to a larger home is an exciting step but also deserves thoughtful planning. Consider these points to simplify your decision. What Does More Space Mean to You? Do you need an extra bedroom for a growing child, a home office, or a finished basement for more family time? Understanding your priorities will help you choose a layout that truly fits your lifestyle rather than just adding square footage. Location Matters When moving up, the right neighbourhood is just as important as the right home. The Royal Valley community in Guelph is a wonderful family-friendly community with easy access to walking trails, parks, amenities & public transportation.
