Toscana Project in Arizona strikes a chord with Canadian buyers

-

Experience Toscana of Desert Ridge, our Premier, Resort Condominiu­m Community! Canadian couple, Virginia and Danny Wong wanted a warm spot to escape fromthe cold Canadian winters – an easy-to access destinatio­n with plenty of entertainm­ent, dining and shopping. The couple booked a four-day vacation to visit the area in 2010 and checked out a variety of housing types, from single family homes, and town homes to condos. “We got to Toscana on the second day” says Virginia. “We saw the show suite and liked what we saw, so we bought in right then.” The single level plans, landscapin­g, security, heated pools and on site management – along with proximity to shopping, restaurant­s and golf – made Toscana an attractive propositio­n. The Wongs bought an Athena unit, which offers 2 bedrooms plus a den floor plan. The couple enjoy the place somuch during the 8 – 10 weeks they are using it, that they recently purchased a second unit in a new building as an investment. “In Arizona – unlike some of the other destinatio­ns in the U.S. – you almost always have guaranteed sunshine.
