Diamondview Estates Carp Phoenix

I tried negotiating but no luck, not even base price or upgrades

I'm looking for any info on this area. I haven't been to the sales center yet but from what I can tell, phase 1 only has one lot remaining. Does anyone know when phase two is released? The area is served by hydro one from what I can see and the street is a private. Does anyone know how much the common fees will be? Are the homes on natural gas?

Any other details would be nice.

I'm not from the subdivision but I have a bit of information on the servicing.
Diamondview has Hydro One for power, Enbridge natural gas and is on "city" water/sewer.

I put city in quotations because it's not City of Ottawa water, the water comes from a couple of wells in Carp. I've been told a water softener is still recommended. As for the septic, I believe that the developers of the commercial development near the Carp airport have put in a sewer system that also services the residential lots.

Phoenix Homes may only have one lot left but I think Mattino homes was also in there and may have some lots.

The water and sewer is a strange setup to me. I wonder if there are fees associated with the well water and sewer. Thanks for the info.

[tkksin]

they have a water filter system is already in place so water will be filtered. And since each house has its own sewer ( which I think needs to be flushed out once in 4/5 years costing 400CAD ) I don't think we need to pay City for sewage charges ( which is pretty expensive)

THE HYDROONE WORKS ON DENSITY

High (Urban) Density Zone: >= 3000 customers and >= 60 custOMER/km
Medium Density Zone: >=100 customers and >= 15 customers/km
Low Density Zone: Areas that are not Medium or High Density

I AM PRETTY SURE WE ARE EITHER IN MEDIUM OR HIGH . PLEASE REFER TO BELOW LINK WHERE IT SHOWS THE RATES PER HYDRO BOARD AND DENSITY

PER 2017 , AVG HYDRO OTTAWA PER MONTH IS 96$ WHERE AS FOR MEDUIM DENSITY HYDRO ONE IT IS 107$. I DONT THINK IT IS A BIG DEAL

Ok, so it sounds like it's on a communal well and individual septic systems. As for Hydro One they are usually double the price Hydro Ottawa.

Do you know how much the common fees are for private street?

[tkksin]

Not sure if hydro one is double but based on my research may be its 10 to 15 % more than hydro Ottawa

Common fees is around 100 , but note that property taxes are less compared to Kanata or barrhaven , so to me at the end it will all even out

[canata]

Thanks. Did you look at White Tail Ridge?

[tkksin]

No , I want to stay close to Kanata
