River Springs Grove

Written By

Welcome to the brand-new community of River Springs Grove, an exciting addition to the West St. Paul Community.

River Springs Grove is going to be a spacious, nature-oriented executive community just outside the perimeter. Only a handful of premium builders are included in the project, including Discovery Homes Ltd.

There are a variety of lots available with different features and price points, but they are all a minimum of 60 feet wide, some as wide as 80 feet, with the depth running between 130-150 feet. These are big, spacious lots, which give you lots of space from your neighbours, but also allow for design choices that won’t work on smaller lots, like triple garages and rancher-style bungalows.
