  • 枫下家园 / 枫下觅巢 / 浅析Vellore Village +7
    本文发表在 rolia.net 枫下论坛考虑到觅巢这个版块的有口诛笔伐的传统 ,在具体谈Vellore Village这个区, 和所谓的自夸自擂前,我先做一下背景介绍。 希望免去些无意或有心的误导。我自2011年搬入这个小区,不长不短住了有5个年头了。而且在可预见的将来,也没有要挪地方的打算。 文中Vellore Village 的地理位置指的是南起Rutherford 北至 Major Mac,东临 Westerb 西止 Pine Valley 大概一个正方形的地段。


    关于买房子,我两年前在觅巢发了一些看法。这些看法至今也没有什么改变。为了省事,在这些看法的基础上,对这个区再写些针对的补充:

    大家买房子,都想着在可支付的范围内,买到各个方面最合心意的房子。对大多数人来说,买房子的开销,可能是一辈子最大的一笔支出。从这点上,小心,谨慎甚至挑剔都无可非议。购房考量的大方面,无非是对 地理位置,社区的物理环境,人文环境以及教育环境的纵横,综合对比,衡量。

    1 首先是地理位置:咱老祖宗讲究风水,简化的来说。就是聚不聚人气,合不合地气,犯不犯天气。对于上班族来说,地理位置还要加入通勤这个非常现实的考虑因素。其实就聚人气来说,个人觉得网上列的一系列热点小区,半斤八两,人气都挺旺,所以没有太大的差异。通勤的难易是我买房前考虑的一个重点。

    在Vellore Village, 若是在Down Town上班,坐GO TRIAN比较方便,早上10-15分钟车程到MAPLE的Go Train 车站,35 -40分钟可从MAPLE到UNION STATION。若是开车走 Highway 400,那就和你出门的时间段直接相关了。 一般7:20左右出门。从400 South 开到 Willson 地铁站差不离30多分钟,从Willson 地铁再到市区内各个地方, 时间上基本就可以掌控了。

    Vellore Village还有一个非常利好的情况就是地铁2017年底将通至 Jane和Highway 7 的交口 , 距离小区只有三个Block, 10-15分钟的车程。地铁通车必将将大大缓解400的通勤压力,同时更方便小区和市区内,甚至东边Scarborough地区的交通往来。

    若是在西边上班,401 West 早上情况和拥堵不堪的401 East 真是云泥之别,401 West 早上道路基本通畅。不过,晚上回程401和400都会有些堵。

    2 社区的物理环境: 这无非是小区各种配套的硬件设施,包括绿地,图书馆,活动中心,购物,规划等等。这方面,虽然涉及的点很多。却是最好衡量的。周末开辆 车,到心仪 并预算允许的小区转几次,就能有个八九不离十的判断。

    坛子上关于vellore village小区的文章不多。但只要提到的,比较统一的看法就是这个小区的环境很不错。也许小区主要族裔意大利人的传统,家家户户的草地和花园都修的很精致。我本人比较视觉化,早先去北边玩,临时在小区附近的加油站加油。对当地社区园艺有惊艳的感觉,初印象很好。这也是我当时入户的一个起因。

    发现有些网友对Vellore Village 小区规划的诟病主要是个挤字。客观讲,小区里中占绝大多数的中产独立房 (1 -1.2 米)相对于老社区来说,确实小些。这个问题是现今地产开发上最大化逐利的客观存在。整个大多地区都是如此,并不限于Vellore Village。 Lot 的大小和您预算是直接相关的。小区内靠近自然保护区的一角 (Pine Valley),有超过百尺的大独立房 。若有2-4米的预算,也未尝是个好的选择。只是三米多的投入,我倒更愿意去市内的小区淘淘了。

    说购物,Vaugh Mill, Costco,National 一个大型中式超市进在咫尺,小区边上新进开了Wal_Mart, Home Depot......。客观的讲,购物环境是是我去过不少小区中最好的。 同时旺市唯一,也是现今大多地区规划中,配备最好的医院的基建今年也正式动工了。医院的位置离小区不远不近,两个block 加一条400高速。五六分钟的车程。对我而言是Perfect Location。

    社区中心的设施也比较新,齐备。小区内今年还会添建图书馆。(其实旺市新盖的中心图书馆离小区也不远。10-15分钟的车程)综上所述,对于比较在乎主观感受,而又预算有限的中产家庭来说。Vellore Village 的物理环境是很不错的

    下篇再谈谈人文和教育环境更多精彩文章及讨论,请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
    • 很好的地区,实际根本不挤,挤不挤,取决于你肯出多少银子,如果不想挤在“清华”区,这区是一个很好的选择,购物交通都方便,各家房子前院都打扮得漂漂亮亮。 +1
      • 说Vellore Village挤是相对Vaughan其他区而言, +2
        这区是建成较晚的一个区,房子新是优点,但lot size小,而且town house 及semi 居多,小区马路窄,人口密度大,这个从Google map就可以看到。另外,Vollore Village的社区中心停车场是Vaughan最大的,而停车场车位是根据人口来设计的。
    • 顶一个。但想指出一点,未来Vaughan Metro地铁站(hwy&Jane)没有停车位的,您得开到下一站(407)去停车。 +2
      • metro有啊!只是没有407站停车位多,407是3层的停车场。
        • 蒸的吗?请提供信息出处。好像TTC官网上明说没有的。
    • 我也喜欢这区,意大利人很会打理房子和花园,我也正在这里找房子。只是不知道这里的高中如何?期待下篇。 +2
      • Vellore Village 的意大利人并不多,意大利人多居住在东西Woodbridge,以Woodbridge Avenue为中心. VV 的小学ESL率都比较高,因此此区以新移民居多,另外,VV东面有一个清真寺及两个伊斯兰社区中心,伊斯兰人口比例也比较高。
        • 我不知道你是无心误导呢,还是什么目的。加拿大关于小区人口普查的统计数据如下。看看你说的有没有丝毫的数据支持

          • 沒有人口统计支持,个人感觉,你去discovery P. S.看看就知道了,如果你认为有穆斯林会影响房价话,我向你道歉。
            • 哈哈,看你的贴子就知道是个凭感觉发帖的主了。所以也内容也没有什么可信度。
              首先,穆斯林和房价没有必然的联系,我只是指出了你贴子中的错误。你下意识用族裔和房价关联那只是你的观点。

              至于你贴中什么大多数是Semi, TownHouse感觉论点,我也懒得回应,更是不值得一驳。这我说过, 这方面的情况,周末开辆 车,到心仪 并预算允许的小区转几次,就能有个八九不离十的判断。

              你言之凿凿的把和vellore village一街之隔说Pine Valley豪宅区说是区域在Rutherford 南,Lanstaff北,Western西,Pine Valley 东,已经不属于Vollore Village了。这本没有错。 却把坐落在Vaughan Mill商业区内的Vaughan Islamic Community Centre办公室代入小区,不知是何用意, 至于你的道歉之说,只能更显出你的小人之心

              我说过,我这个帖子是为了解这个小区的国人服务的。希望你不要只凭感觉,信口开河,误导国人。回你的贴就到此为止
              • 我说几句你不爱听的,就变成小人了。我弯曲事实,你贴子里面有几句事实。举个简单例子,地铁站离你十万八千里,也算你利好,还十分钟车程,十分钟你能出小区就不错了。
                • 说句公道话,还算比较近的,出vv小区,马上可以上400高速,然后hwy7下。10-15分钟不算吹牛 :-)
                  • 具体车程看住在哪里,如果住在小区东面,上下班一长串车等几个停牌,没有十分钟, 出不了小区。如果靠近weston, 10分钟可以到jane/hwy7。但这里一直在修路,下高速很堵。我一直是从weston/ package parkway 绕过去。
              • 再说医院,先不说你从哪里打听来的这是大多最先进的医院。医院能是利好吗?天天听救护车叫,400上下major本来就堵,医院一建,彻底堵死。
              • 你贴子里把Vaughan Mills 都揽过去为你贴金。我一说伊斯兰社区中心,立刻就撇清和Vaughan Mills的关系了,我也成了别有用心。
              • 我说有清真寺,穆斯林在这个区,你立刻就嚷嚷百万豪宅不容易,然后翻出一个不知是何出处的统计数据,关键是统计数据有宗教信仰吗?没有!
          • 说到人口统计,我大致找了找: +1
            Vellore Village community has a population of 40,310, consisting of 19,925 males and 20,380 females. 37,655 people in Vellore Village community are Canadian citizen, 14,105 immigrants and 395 people with a non-resident status.
            而整个Woodbridge有多少人呢?
            Total Population 61,926
            Vv的人口占了Woodbridge的三分之二,但面积呢?我大致看看不超过三分之一。
        • 在这个区里沒有看到清真寺,倒有一个很漂亮的天主教堂,当初误认为是清真寺,实地考察才发现不是清真寺,是天主教堂。
          • 像清真寺的多是东正教堂
          • Baitul Islam Mosque
            • And Vaughan Islamic Community Center, And Vaughan Islamic Information Center 都在VV 东部,认识一个巴基斯坦朋友住在附近
              • 查了下地图,你搞错地方了吧。Vellore Village是在weston西面,你说的discovery P.S, 还有各个穆斯林场所全都在400东面,那片叫Maple。 +1
                • 你搞错了,VV是以Jane为界
                  • 请看清楚主贴楼主勾勒的范围
                    • Vellore Village is a community in Vaughan located in central Vaughan. It is within the North/South border of Teston Rd and Rutherford Rd and East/West border of Pine Valley Dr and Jane St. The surrounding neighbourhoods include Kleinburg,
                      Sonoma Heights, Islington woods, East Woodbridge, Maple and Rural Vaughan
                • 我也认为 Vellor village 以 weston rd. 为界,discovery ps那片是 Maple 没错, 相对V V要便宜。
                  • 所以说楼主在误导,请看如下连接:
                    • 楼主哪里误导啦?人家明明有说"文中Vellore Village 的地理位置指的是南起Rutherford 北至 Major Mac,东临 Westerb 西止 Pine Valley 大概一个正方形的地段" .
                      • 在这个区域住过的人一般都知道,vv 是以weston 为中心分东西两部分,东到jane , 西到 pine valley. 如果楼主不是误导,为什么不加,east vellore village.
                    • 好像是HWY400为界
                      • 你这个是选区,请google " vellore village boundaries" + images
                        • TREB 定义的边界,应该是准确的了 (选COMMUNITIES)
                          • TREB 的定义 和 我说的一样阿,东面以jane为 界限。清真寺和伊斯兰中心全在里面。我这里提一下,只不过是提醒一下大家,别被人忽悠买了房子以后,才发现周围邻居全周五做礼拜。
      • Sorry, I cannot type in Chinese at the moment. A new high school Tommy Douglas S.S. was build in 2015 for this community. Its current ranking is 108/676.
        • 欢迎印胞!
          • 不明白为啥对印度人那么有偏见。我家左右邻居都是印巴人,前后院整得一点都不比意大利人差。我家前院铺砖道时,邻居主动打电话让我去她家车道上停车。过去早上出门遇见,都是她招呼我乘她车一起去GO车站。
            • 就是! 认识的印胞多数不错。
              • 比白人好多了,我历任的2任邻居都是印度的,不过还是不建议和印度的做邻居,因为你卖房的时候人家会看到你邻居肤色而不喜欢,对,人就是种族歧视的。
      • 欢迎到Sonoma height 来考察, 也是很好的社区。 意大利人多。 小区很漂亮。 住这里几年了, 很喜欢。 价钱相对便宜一些。 +2
        • 那个区也很不错。427北进完成,和Marjor Mac扩路后,交通都会更方便。再往北点的kleinburg,也是非常贵的社区了 +2
    • 我记得pine valley从langstaff往上是个死胡同,豪宅区,进大铁门还要开500米才到宅子的那种。。10几年前的百万豪宅。。现在百万只能住工人新村。。 +1
      • 是的,里面都是庄园!就是你看见一排小栏杆,然后大耗子在几百米远的小山坡上,周围就是像高尔夫球场样的草地,树和花园。。。我怀疑是所谓的皇家保留地。
        • 那个区域在Rutherford 南,Lanstaff北,Western西,Pine Valley 东,已经不属于Vollore Village了 +1
          • 当然不是。 +1
      • 对, Pine Valley 在高尔夫球场的这段豪宅区断开了。过了豪宅区,又接上Vellore Village +1
        • 你说得不对了,Google 一下boundary,Rutherford以南,Western以西,都是east Woodbridge +1
    • 太好了谢谢楼主,正好想多知道那边的一些消息呢
      • 下面的内容摘自一个网站,我觉得挺客观的。

        • 这个描述和评价确实很客观准确,而且很全面,住Sonoma Height多年,感觉和描述的非常吻合,真的很庆幸当年的选择。 +2
      • 在woodbridge 生活过很长时间,看房也看了很久,我个人感觉: Sonoma Heights 和Listington Woods 综合感觉最好,Kleinburg 太远,Vollore Village太挤,而且还有新盘在推出,East Woodbridge 最方便, West Woodbridge 意大利人太多,靠近martin Grove /hwy7 太乱。 +2
        • 对Kleinburg很喜欢,从我们住的Sonoma Height开车过去也就两三分钟,夏天周末经常过去,看看博物馆,走走Trail或者坐在街边晒太阳喝咖啡,一呆就一下午,看着满街开心的人群,晒着暖洋洋的太阳,真的很享受 +2
        • 说的很客观。在VV看房时,主路边上的房子感觉还不错,房子大,绿化也做的很好。可进到小街,感觉太挤了,有不少 semi和town。Sonoma heights整体感觉更好,房价也低一些。 +3
      • 客观的讲, VV 有些房子还不错。但这个小区规划定位了这个区域是针对first home buyer,小lot size,
        大量的 town house 和 semi 使低端买家进入有可能性,而且增加了小区人口,从而降低了整个小区的品质。关于这个小区有多挤,如果有兴趣,可以看看政府的规划,从图上可以看出vv的街道宽度之小,密度之大。
