Homes For Sale in WaterCrest

About WaterCrest

WaterCrest is a freehold adult-lifestyle community in Welland operated by —. Homes are typically bungalows and low-maintenance designs aimed at the 55+ buyer.

Adult-lifestyle communities turn over steadily as owners downsize or relocate. Every listing below sits inside the community boundary shown on the map.

The homes of WaterCrest

WaterCrest is the final release at Hunters Pointe, Lucchetta Homes' active adult lifestyle community in north Welland — and the builder's name is Lucchetta, a family-owned Niagara builder with more than 60 years in the region. The release is organized in three collections: the Great Lakes Collection of bungalow designs on estate lots with river and canal views (described as coming soon), the Seaway Collection of seven new bungalow designs on deep urban lots with double-car garages, and the Reflections Collection of bungalow townhomes, some with double-car garages and covered rear porches. Closing dates were advertised from late 2026 into early 2027.

The resale market shows what the finished product looks like: an upgraded Haven model at G-304 Perth Trail — 2,169 square feet — was listed at $977,819 in 2026. Lucchetta's designs run to open-concept bungalows with 9-foot ceilings, luxury vinyl and porcelain finishes, walk-in closets and ensuites, and the builder is Energy Star certified with Net Zero Ready options. A limited-time promotion advertised a $45,000 upgrade package plus $15,000 in Lucchetta Bucks on inventory townhomes — confirm what is currently offered, since promotions change.

How WaterCrest works: tenure and fees

WaterCrest homes are conventional ownership — detached bungalows and bungalow townhomes — within the Hunters Pointe community structure, where a monthly association fee covers landscaping maintenance, snow removal, alarm monitoring and access to the shared recreation facilities. No current fee amount was published on the builder's sources seen, so confirm the schedule, what it covers, and how increases work in writing before you commit.

The community is explicitly a 55+ active adult lifestyle community — one of the clearest age positionings in this guide — but confirm the exact eligibility wording in the current purchase documents with your lawyer. Because this is new construction, the purchase agreement, the Tarion warranty coverage, deposit structure and closing timeline are the documents that matter most.

Amenities and daily life

The community amenity core is the on-site fitness recreation centre with an indoor pool and tennis courts, described as ideal for keeping in shape and for the social activities that bring neighbours together. The townhome collections add their own social layer, and the broader Hunters Pointe community supplies the walking and cycling trails along the water.

The setting is the confluence of the Welland Canal and the Welland River — waterfront trails, promenades and the canal corridor are the daily backdrop. Welland's shopping, dining and services are minutes away, the town of Fonthill's village amenities are close, and St. Catharines and Niagara Falls are short drives. Buffalo and its airport are about half an hour across the border — a genuine snowbird logistics plus.

Location and getting there

WaterCrest sits at the corner of Old Course Trail and Alvira Trail in north Welland (the sales centre is at 304 Perth Trail, Unit G), on the promontory where the Welland Canal meets the Welland River. Highway 406 is the direct link: about 15–20 minutes to St. Catharines, 20 minutes to Niagara Falls, and roughly 90 minutes to Toronto.

The QEW and Highway 406 put the whole peninsula within reach, and the Buffalo Niagara International Airport across the border is positioned as the snowbird gateway. This is one of the more connected adult-lifestyle locations in Niagara — canal-side living without the isolation of the rural parks.

WaterCrest market snapshot

There is not enough current listing data to publish a reliable average price for WaterCrest. The documented points: builder releases across the three collections (with promotions like the $45,000 upgrade package on inventory townhomes advertised in 2026) and a $977,819 resale of an upgraded 2,169-square-foot Haven model. New-build pricing here is set by the builder and moves with promotions, incentives and HST treatment — not purely by resale comparables.

If you are buying new, the price you negotiate is only part of the economics: confirm the deposit structure, the closing timeline, what the base price includes, the current promotion details in writing, and the HST rebate eligibility, since new-housing tax treatment has specific rules and deadlines.

Buying in WaterCrest: what to check

Get the monthly association fee schedule in writing — what it covers (landscaping, snow, alarm monitoring, recreation facilities), how it increases, and whether the townhome and detached collections pay the same. Review the Tarion warranty coverage, the purchase agreement's closing and delay provisions, and the deposit protection.

Confirm the 55-plus eligibility wording as written in the purchase documents, and verify the HST position with your lawyer and accountant: new-build pricing, rebates and exemptions have qualification rules, and one related Hunters Pointe listing referenced HST-exempt pricing for qualified buyers. Never assume the advertised price is the tax-in price.
