Finding the Perfect Family Home at Jack’s Landing: One Family’s Story
When buying a first home, families have a long list of must-haves: a great location, a welcoming community, quality construction, and a property that offers long-term value. For one young family, Ashlee, Corbyn and their two children, Jack’s Landing in Hamilton Lake ticked all the boxes. We spoke with Ashlee about her family’s journey to homeownership in Hamilton and what makes their new home so special.
Why Jack’s Landing?
For this family of four, location was everything. “My parents live nearby, and having them close was a big factor in our decision,” Ashlee says. “We also loved the idea of being within walking distance to Innes Common and Hamilton Lake. The new walkway makes it so easy to get out for a walk, bike ride, or picnic by the water.”
With two young children, access to green spaces was a priority. “It’s a beautiful area, and we wanted our kids to grow up with room to explore and play. Having the lake and parks so close has been amazing for our family.”

A Welcoming Community
Moving into a new neighbourhood can be daunting, but the family quickly felt at home in Jack’s Landing. “The community here is fantastic. Everyone has been so welcoming, and there’s a real sense of connection. It’s a mix of families, retirees, and young professionals, so it feels lively and safe.”
This sense of community has made settling in seamless. “We’ve met so many wonderful neighbours, and the kids have already made friends. It’s a great feeling to know we’re part of a neighbourhood where people look out for each other, plus the private community Facebook page helps keep everyone connected with the latest news.”
The Perfect Home for a Growing Family
Ashlee and Corbyn purchased a modern, two-storey home featuring three bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a private back deck. “We were really impressed by the quality of the build. The layout is practical and works perfectly for our family. The extra space means everyone has room to grow.”
One of their favourite features is the private back deck. “It’s become our little retreat. We love having family dinners outside, relaxing with a coffee in the morning, or just unwinding after a busy day. It really adds to the lifestyle we wanted.”
The Benefits of a Central Location
Living in Jack’s Landing has also made life more convenient. “Corbyn and I work in the city, and the short commute has been a game-changer. Instead of spending time in traffic, we get more time together as a family.”
Beyond work, the central location offers easy access to schools, shops, and cafes. “Everything we need is close by. Whether it’s grabbing a coffee, doing the school run, or heading out for dinner, it’s all so easy.”

A Home That’s Also an Investment
For this family, their home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a long-term investment. “We’re really proud to own this home. It’s in a fantastic location, and we know its value will increase over time. Buying here wasn’t just about having a house but securing our family’s future.”
Advice for Other First-Home Buyers
When asked what advice she’d give other families considering Jack’s Landing, Ashlee says: “Think about what will matter most to you in the long run. For us, it was location, quality, and community—and Jack’s Landing offered all that. We haven’t looked back.”
Making Memories in Their New Home
Since moving in, the family has already created some wonderful memories. “One of my favourite moments was our first barbecue on the back deck. The grandparents came over, the kids were running around, and it just felt like home. That’s when we knew we made the right decision.”
