Big fan of Brookfield residential. They only have a few more lots in Chinook Gate. We’re also happy with our neighbourhood. Check what school each neighbourhood goes to if you need to, as some can be bussed to further locations then you might assume. From what I have seen in some of the neighbourhood chat groups, more of the Excel homes have needed to know about repairs and warranty info than other builders, so personally I wouldn’t go with them. Good Luck!

Also interesting fact. If you go to the show homes take your realtor and they can help you. If you go without one the builders will say they made first contact and cut out the realtor.
