  • The Heritage Cottages are a new 55+ community for those looking to "right size" their home and simplify their lifestyle.

Quality construction by K & L Homes can be observed throughout and the maintenance-free exteriors will offer peace of mind whether residents are at home or away.

  • The Housing for Older Persons Act (HOPA) allows communities such as Heritage Cottages to restrict occupancy to households with at least one person 55 years or older per housing unit. To qualify for HOPA at least 80 percent of the occupied units must be occupied by at least one person 55 years of age or older, which is verified every two years. Neither HOPA, nor the Heritage Cottages Bylaws prohibit persons under the age of 55 from occupying the units.
