Parsons Creek is the north end of Timberlea’s expansion and the newest inventory in Fort McMurray. If your priority is a brand-new home and the shortest possible drive north to site, this is the answer.
Being newest also means it is still filling in — amenity build-out lags the housing, and you will drive into Timberlea or Eagle Ridge for most services. Buyers trade that for a home nobody has lived in and a full new-home warranty.
