New home owners who are buying Optima condos in Sherwood Park have made a smart move. The community itself has unlimited shopping and professional services as well as recreational opportunities and numerous schools, churches and cultural activities. In addition, being located adjacent to Edmonton, Alberta, the provincial capital, provides residents with further access to every conceivable desire.

The Optima Sherwood Park condosare located in the unique sustainable urban development of Salisbury Village. Located at 279 Wye Road, the three-storey apartment-style project is a ground-breaker in terms of environmentally-conscious features. By partnering with the County of Strathcona, in which Sherwood Park is situated, Core Developments adhered to the requirements set out in Bylaw 18-2010 which was undertaken as land absorption was reaching capacity in the area. The pilot project is the result of incorporating key criteria of programs which followed energy and environment design features.

Optima Sherwood Park condos will be ready for occupancy by August of 2012, but the 50 units are already selling briskly. Pleasantly surrounded by a mixture of commercial development and pedestrian and bike friendly walkways, the neighbourhood allows residents to walk to work or to shopping centres, which is just one of the many sustainability features that have been built into the project. Others include the planting of native trees and shrubs to eliminate the need for irrigation, as well as the establishment of a community garden which will encourage residents to grow their own food and allow the land to be productive.

The Optima Sherwood Park condos also offer an east-west setting which takes best advantage of solar energy. Other desirable features include six appliances (with every unit), underground parking,and a building-wide sprinkler system. Prices range from $239,900 to $354,900 and there are several floor plans from which to choose.

Getting in and out of the neighbourhood is easily facilitated by close proximity of the Anthony Henday and Whitemudfreeways, and Optima Sherwood Park condos are located a short drive from the Queen Elizabeth II highway which takes you to the Edmonton International Airport in minutes. Add this to the convenience of condo living with its maintenance-free lifestyle and business travellers or empty-nesters are able to commute to embark on their travel destination quickly and without traffic hassles.
