Why Alquinn Homes Builds in Smaller Communities

One of the things that helps transform a house into a beloved home is the community in which it sits. The location where you live can have a lot of effects on your wellbeing, some material and some more intangible.

At Alquinn Homes, we like to build in smaller communities. These locations may be less well known than larger cities, but they offer several benefits for our clients that help to ensure they are getting the most out of their investment.

Benefits of Building a Home in A Small Town

1.   Affordability

A big benefit of small-town life is how much more affordable small towns are compared to cities. The price of land and property taxes is often lower, making it easier for you to afford your dream home. The overall cost of living is also more affordable, allowing you to stretch your dollar further.

2.   Safety

Small towns are often quieter than cities and feature more tight-knit communities, which can contribute to a safer environment. Small towns routinely make lists of the safest places to live in Alberta, thanks to their low crime rates. This makes small towns appealing locations to build for people looking for a calm place to call home.

3.   Better Quality of Life

A lower cost of living and safe environment are two factors that contribute to the higher quality of life that comes with living in a small town, but that’s just the beginning. The pace of life in a small town is slower and less hectic; there’s also less traffic and you’re closer to green and natural spaces. Life is generally just less stressful, which can have a positive impact on your health and wellbeing.
