Bordered on the north by Watson road and with Keith Wilson as its southern boundary the Watson Glen/ Shaugnesy Park area of Sardis is a large family-oriented group of established neighbourhoods. Developed in the late 80′s and into the 1990′s this area is marked by numberous cul-de-sacs and full sized fenced lots making it ideal for young and growing families. Reasonably priced two storey, basement entry, and one level rancher homes are mixed throughout the area resulting in a pleasant assortment of families, empty nesters and retirees on most streets. Known as “very neighbourly” this quiet residential area has little commercial activity, just a couple of corner stores and is considered a very safe and friendly neighbourhood with many folks out walking and children out playing on the cul de sacs on summer evenings. New development on Monte Vista Drive and on Gilliwan Ave in 2000 added a lovely more modern group of homes to the area and in the late 1990′s a new subdivision, Petersburg, offering high end custom built homes was developed. Located directly across from Unsworth Elementary, homes in the sought after neighbourhood of Petersburg have commanded a premium price.
