Meet The Strathdees
The first thing one notices about Alan and Judy
Strathdee is their amazing vitality. It seems to
exude from their very pores. That’s because they
both really enjoy being physically active through
power walking and cycling. “A typical bicycle trip for us consists
of riding 50–60 miles a day,” says Alan, a stockbroker and
financial advisor who relishes the clean air and peace and quiet
that they found at Ridgeway by the Lake.
“We used to live in Etobicoke,” Judy explains, “and we didn’t
know how loud it was until we moved to Ridgeway by the
Lake.”Most days were punctuated by the noise of traffic, sirens
and even the occasional volley of gunfire. “Now the noisiest
neighbours are the geese flying over.”
After retiring the couple visited over 15 adult lifestyle communities
surrounding the GTA over a two-year period and decided on
Ridgeway by the Lake after viewing themodel homes. “Ridgeway
by the Lake is a hidden treasure and we’re glad we found it,”
says Alan. “Within the first week of moving here we looked at
each other and said ‘this is home’.”
What do they like most about living at Ridgeway by the Lake?
It’s not just any one thing, but a combination of the amazing
quality, the phenomenal home designs, the low taxes, and the
close proximity to everything that matters. “We’re 10 minutes
from Buffalo where we often shop, there are a lot of great places
to dine nearby and entertainment is close at hand,” Judy states.
“Oh, and the best part is all the new friends we’ve made since
moving here,” Alan adds. “I’ve become the social convener here
and many of us get together weekly for pizza or dinner at a
restaurant”.
If, like Alan and Judy Strathdee, you enjoy a gracious leisure
lifestyle in a quality adult community, you owe it to yourself to
visit the model homes at Ridgeway by the Lake. |
