Wants 1980s–2000s stock, mature landscaping, established neighbours, and quieter cul-de-sacs. Not interested in new-build Burke Mountain. Eagle Ridge's established character fits this profile.
Open to Heritage Mountain Elementary, Eagle Mountain Middle, or other SD43 catchment combinations. Less rigid on a single school name than Burke or Westwood buyers, more focused on overall quality + commute.
