A brand new community is coming soon to Welland, just a stone’s throw away from some of Niagara’s top dining, shopping and entertainment destinations. If you’re in the process of looking for a new home in Niagara’s wine country and have always wanted to live by the water, our new master-planned community — Empire Canals — was literally designed for you. Read on for the top 5 reasons why you’ll love living in this one-of-a-kind community that allows you to navigate life your way.

1. Proximity to the Water

When you call Empire Canals home, you get to experience all the benefits of living by the water. Nestled between the Welland Canals and boasting close proximity to the shores of Lake Erie too, this master-planned community is surrounded by some of the Niagara region’s most beautiful waterways. Canoe, kayak or paddle-board on the water, just moments from your front door. It’s a dream destination for those who love spending time outdoors.

2. Small Town Charm + Tranquil Living

One of the perks of living in Welland is being removed from the hustle and bustle of the Niagara region’s big, major cities. That means less traffic and a more tranquil environment for you to enjoy. By purchasing a home in this quaint area of town, you get to experience the local charm that comes with it. If you’re looking for a tight-knit community of like-minded individuals and streets filled with mom-and-pop stores, we’re happy to welcome you home.

3. New Product Designed For You

If you’re looking for a collection of home designs that are just as beautiful as they are functional, you’ll be happy you discovered Empire Canals’ new product line. Contemporary farmhouse designs nod to the area’s history without compromising on modern details, while exteriors rich in architectural detail feature a mix of stone and siding. Even floor plans have been thoughtfully designed with both you and your varied needs in mind.

4. The Empire Sportsplex

The Empire Sportsplex is Welland’s new sport and recreation centre, located just 3 minutes away from the community for Canals’ residents to use. The facility features six pickleball courts; three tennis courts; five beach volleyball courts; a full-size basketball court; and two half-size basketball courts for 3-on-3 play. If you weren’t already convinced to move to the community, you will be now.

5. Location

What makes Welland such an attractive place to live is its proximity to surrounding regions like Niagara Falls, Port Colborne and Niagara-on-the-Lake. Take advantage of the area’s wineries, award-winning restaurants, boutique shops and non-stop entertainment located nearby. For when you want to take a day trip to the United States, the U.S. border is just a short drive away.
