Over the past 30 years, Dewar and Esther Oulton have been involved in constructing and purchasing various apartment buildings in the Summerside area and their hometown of O'Leary, Prince Edward Island.
In 1990, they constructed a Professional Building in the Town of O'Leary called Oulton Business Centre. Dewar and Esther were both licensed Realtors for over 20 years and operated a Real Estate office at Oulton Business Centre. They leased other parts of the building to various professionals.
In 1997, they bought a property situated in a rural setting, but still within the boundaries of the Town of O'Leary. This property consisted of five acres with a flourishing apple orchard on the property. They named this property Orchard Ridge Estates and constructed their first multi-unit apartment building in 1998. They continued building apartment rentals and have multiple units on the property. All units are quality built, ground floor, country colonial in design situated on perfectly manicured grounds. Features also include covered verandas, dormers, cupolas, individual garden plots if required, and private decks.
After this development was completed, they purchased the neighboring property which they named Silver Fox Crossing. This growing community consists of another 5 acres. There are multiple garden apartments with attached garages, with room for future expansion.
Oulton Apartments and Oulton Business Centre are family owned and operated. The Oultons work side-by-side to ensure the guiding principles that built the foundation of Oulton Apartments, and Oulton Business Centre, continues to live on in the future.
