Over the last 6-9 years (with the same municipal government, more or less), Willoughby has been the epitome of suburban sprawl. The three Willoughby neighbourhoods that have been developed in this time - Routley, Southwest Gordon and Northeast Gordon are all vehicle-based neighbourhoods with a admitted focus on having people drive to the big boxes and shopping centre in Willowbrook.<br /><br />Yorkson itself is positioned to be a vehicle-based neighbourhood, as most people looking to purchase in the area are those who want quick (re: driving) access to the highway to get to employment across the river.<br /><br />As for Salmon River Uplands, expect to see many more Lavender Home/Morgan Creek/Highland Estate-type multi-million dollar estate developments trying to squeeze through.Brad Richerthttp://talklangley.comnoreply@blogger.com
