With hundreds of happy families enjoying some of Alberta’s best boating, golf, tennis, and outdoor life, it’s not really fair to call Gleniffer Lake real estate a “hidden treasure” anymore. Still, more and more Canadians searching for a summer home or vacation spot have been coming up and pointing out some interesting things to me. They are all impressed with the beauty, family-fun atmosphere, and nightlife, of course, but also the convenience that having a vacation home on Gleniffer Lake brings.

The reason is pretty simple: An investment in Gleniffer Lake real estate is so much more convenient – in terms of time and money – than they are able to find elsewhere. Sure, there are other lakes in Alberta, but how many that are deep enough for boating, allow you to go into the water without getting swimmer’s itch, and lie less than two hours from Edmonton and Calgary? A family can literally finish work and school on a Friday afternoon, and then be settled in by early Friday evening to enjoy a long weekend in the sun and water.

In the past, it wasn’t unusual to hear about people looking for a weekend or vacation properties in places like British Columbia, or even south in the United States. But given that long drives quickly become tiresome, fuel prices are higher than ever, and a trip to the airport is no longer as quick and convenient as it used to be, a lot of these options just don’t make sense anymore. The silver lining, however, is that many of them are discovering that one of Canada’s most pristine and beautiful locations is less than two hours away.

Maybe it isn’t that Gleniffer Lake real estate is actually improving, but that more people are starting to appreciate what’s sitting so close to home.

They say most of us don’t really appreciate what we have until it’s gone, and that can certainly be the case when it comes to the vacation days you saved up and a little money that’s been put aside to get away from Alberta for a while.

What will you do for yourself or your family this summer? If you’re like a lot of Canadians we talk to, you might be considering one or more of the following:

• A ten-day trip to Europe, where you’ll try to see as many sites as possible without getting too stressed or going too far over budget
• A short stay down in the States, where getting from one city to another means driving for hours or getting onto an airplane
• Visiting Mexico, where your dollar doesn’t go as far as it used to, and where your airline ticket buys you the privilege of dealing with airport security, customs agents, weather delays, etc.

We could go on and on, but you’re probably starting to sense a theme here. It isn’t that each of these can’t be a wonderful thing to do – they can all be great trips – but that it takes a serious amount of time and money, not to mention a little luck, for them to work out the way you would like. Or, for that same price (and possibly a lot less), you could spend your summer enjoying a relaxed atmosphere with fantastic boating, some of Canada’s best golf, lots of nature and wildlife, and a thriving lake resort community of restaurants, bars, and amenities.

We’ll admit we are biased, but we’ve seen just how visiting Gleniffer Lake – less than an hour and a half from both Calgary and Edmonton – can be a fun, economical, and most importantly, relaxing way for you and your family to spend the summer months.
