Our Perspective

stories

There are many great things to say about St. Elizabeth Village, but one unique aspect of this community is residents' ability to leverage the market value of the home they purchase, through the community's life lease program. Given that real estate values rise steadily in Hamilton (especially on the mountain) this gives you the best of both worlds: the security and freedom of 55 plus living, along with the equity you'll build up from your investment in your home here.

St. Elizabeth Village introduces outstanding 55 plus condo living to Hamilton Mountain. Here, you might be reminded of the secluded, peaceful small towns of yesterday, while you are living in the very suburban area of Hamilton Mountain. Within this "rural village" setting, you'll find country cottage living, Victorian architecture, and other pleasing designs. Recent developments follow a vision to turn this into a kind of playground for adults. Life at the Village is really all about enjoying an exclusive lifestyle, surrounded by the good friends you'll make here.

Zest Properties really steps up the active lifestyle community game with St. Elizabeth Village. If you're interested in getting the most out of retirement, you owe it to yourself to take a close look at this inspiring community. It's like an exclusive resort, in the heart of Hamilton. You might call it paradise, as do many in active lifestyle communities.
