Good videos, Kevin. Colonial Acres is separated from Colonial Estates by its northern greenery belt from Davenport to Bridge Street that weaves like a stretched-out, reverse italicized, Cyrillic letter и. You’ll see what I mean if you were to open an iPhone iOS’ driving map app; only walkways connect the two subdivisions. Colonial Estates’ homes started to be built in the later half of the 1980s; whereas, Colonial Acres started to be built earlier. We built two homes on Sandringham; seven homes on Stonebury; and, one home on Wissler. Post-Colonial Estates Fun Fact: The next subdivision that was built was the Eastbridge subdivision. The land was sold by an Edmonton, Alberta entity for CAD$20 million to Toronto developers. They did a good job creating a whole new character and community; very well done.
As for Maple Hills, we (family) were just about to build a home for ourselves on Culpepper, in 1979, on a hill over looking the Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant, but the purchaser of our home reneged on closing. Lawyer explained the courts would rule in our favour , but we were not going to force anyone because of a contract, even though we had already moved out of the home and prepared to build in Maple Hills.
Thanks you, I am glad you are enjoying the videos. I realized when I was editing that I had I made an error on the age of construction. Stoneburry is a great street as well, I think the 80s was the pinnacle in terms of build quality and the lots were a little larger, the architects at that time had more freedom to build more unique homes. Thanks for the fun fact there, those developers did a great job as well.
1m for 5 bedroom house? I used to live waterloo. I’m Hamilton my house is about 900sq feet….i hear gunshots now and then and the houses around here sell for 800k to 1.2m…..it sell for 1m….*sigh*
Do you think there are any areas more luxurious than these in Waterloo, Ontario?
Good videos, Kevin.

@Slurgical_3D_Terrain_Channel sorry to hear that. Waterloo is a great city. If you would like to move back, I can certainly help you with that.
