- Walk to great boutique shopping, restaurants, medical and leisure facilities
- Newer upscale condos, affordable detached homes
- Variety of home options for senior residents
The downtown area of Chilliwack has long been the location of choice for many of our senior residents who enjoy the convenience of being close to amenities such as the hospital, medical offices, shopping and the Chilliwack Library.
Apartment buildings in this area up until the late 1990′s were primarily “adult only” but in recent years the development of an abundance of modern, all-ages condos has attracted many younger couples and families to the area and “uptown living” has become the choice of those wanting to be close to the boutique shopping areas and fine restaurants that “historic downtown Chilliwack” has to offer.
A variety of single detached homes, many of which have heritage qualities, round out the housing opportunities and often can provide more affordable options for those wanting non-strata ownership.
This area also offers opportuniites in busier markets for investors looking to hold redevelopment properties or rental investments.
