Choosing a home
Compare ARISTA home formats for daily living
The July 7, 2026 Seatonville price sheet lists three formats: 20-foot freehold townhomes with a single-car garage, 30-foot detached homes with a single-car garage and 36-foot detached homes with a double-car garage. The right choice usually depends less on headline square footage and more on how a household actually uses stairs, storage, parking and outdoor space.
Read guideChoose among Bayley, Harwood, Salem, Kingston and Union Corner
Five 20-foot townhome designs appear on ARISTA's July 7, 2026 Seatonville price sheet. Four (Bayley, Harwood, Salem and Kingston) are in the older townhome brochure; Union Corner appears on the newer price sheet. This guide helps narrow the shortlist before you request drawings.
Read guideUnderstand the 30-foot single-car and 36-foot double-car collections
Seatonville's current detached designs come in two lot widths. The Phase 1B plan labels 30-foot singles with a single-car garage and 36-foot singles with a double-car garage. Here is how to compare them without guessing at details the documents do not state.
Read guideRead an ARISTA plan beyond its square footage
Builder floor plans compress a lot of information into a small page. Reading them well means understanding elevations, reversed plans, room dimensions, grade conditions and which areas are actually included in the stated total.

Prepare a current written quote request
ARISTA's Seatonville price sheet dated July 7, 2026 contains base prices, optional-plan prices and estimated net-of-rebate columns. Only the base price is a published figure for every buyer; the rest depends on the lot, options and individual eligibility.
Read guidePrepare cash flow around the published deposit schedule
ARISTA's published Seatonville deposit structure (printed January 2026) sets totals of $100,000 for townhomes, $150,000 for 30-foot detached and $180,000 for 36-foot detached homes, spread over about six months. Use it to plan cash flow, then confirm the terms in your actual agreement.
Read guideAsk better closing-cost questions before signing
New-home closing costs vary by agreement, so we do not publish estimates. Instead, this checklist covers the documents and questions that reveal what you will actually pay at closing.
Read guideBuying process
Plan the steps from research to possession
Buying a new freehold home involves several parties and dated rules. This sequence shows what typically happens, who to ask and which legal changes are current versus scheduled.
Read guideRead the site plan before selecting a lot
Two identical models on different lots can be very different homes. The Phase 1B site plan helps you see orientation, neighbours and future uses before you choose.

Test a commute from Seatonville before choosing a home
We do not publish fixed commute times. Traffic, service schedules and your exact destination change the answer. Instead, use this worksheet to test your own trip from the right starting point.
Read guideVerify school options using the actual home address
A school near a new community is not necessarily the school a lot is assigned to. Boundaries are set by address and school year, and new communities often see interim arrangements.
Read guidePlan outdoor routines around existing facilities
Seaton has real outdoor assets today and more planned. This guide separates what exists now from what appears on plans, so weekend expectations match reality.
