­Introducing… The Design Style Series! Homes are often referred to as having a certain “style” such as modern, contemporary, farmhouse, midcentury modern, Nordic-style, traditional, industrial, etc… there are many! Some styles are more obvious than others while some are hard to define, we’ve created the Design Style Series to help you better understand and help inspire you.

Buying a new build may seem overwhelming, especially when there are so many options available. There is a variety of things to think about – what community do I want to live in? What style of home is best for me? What will fit my budget? Buying a new home may not feel like an option if it’s your first home but purchasing a new build side-by-side will get you into a new home and a new community without the worry of needing to do repairs or renovations.

Let’s go green! Energy efficiency is important for you, your home, and the environment. Having an energy efficient home means saving on costs such as energy bills, heating/cooling costs, and hydro bills. Kensington Homes has various measures in place to ensure your home saves you money and is built above industry standards for efficiency.

Home is in Meadowlands, West St. Paul’s newest and largest community. Located within the perimeter between McPhillips Street and Main Street, Meadowlands is only a 15-minute drive from Winnipeg’s downtown. The growing municipality of West St. Paul has a lot to offer its residents and more opportunities arise with the community’s continued expansions.

Winnipeggers are loving living next to the perimeter and downtown Transcona, evidenced by the quick sales in the steady development. Canterbury Crossing’s relaxed environment is enhanced by a focal retention pond, with a small park space to its south, including a walking path and field.

This guide was written for anyone who is considering buying a land and home package and building a pre-construction home with a local homebuilder.

We encourage you to submit any questions that you have, and we will get the answers to you as quickly as possible.

Everyone at Kensington Homes wishes you all the best in your journey to homeownership.

As the year begins to wrap up and our 50^th anniversary celebrations are coming to an end, we are extremely excited to have celebrated with another Kensington family. Meet Maria and Jan, their three boys, and their adorable pup!

The snow is here to stay as we prepare for another cold winter. Last year, we were just 50 cm away from surpassing the record snowfall. This year, weather experts say we can expect extremely cold temperatures but not so much snow.

Kensington Homes is halfway into celebrating our 50^th anniversary in the home building industry. Since 1972 we have been the leaders in building strong, functional, and eye-catching homes throughout Winnipeg and surrounding areas. The industry has evolved immensely throughout the decades and Kensington Homes has evolved along with it.
