- Vedder Rd. corridor
- Affordable multifamily and single detached
- Opportunities for seniors and first-time buyers
A variety of multifamily complexes along the Vedder road corridor, built mostly in the 1990′s provide affordable family living for young families and first time buyers.
Stretching from the Promontory/Watson Rd intersection on the north to the Vedder River bridge on the south, this area struggled somewhat with the closing of CFB Chilliwack in 1997 but is enjoying new vitality and growth with the development of neighbouring Garrison Crossing and the establishment of the Education Park adjacent to this area.
The retail services available to residents here are growing and being rejuvenated and the boutique style commercial corner at Garrison Crossing will make this a vibrant, desirable location in the very near future. The subdivisions of detached homes accessed via Thomas Rd began in the late 70′s and further developed in the late 1990′s with quiet cul-de-sacs which have become a choice neighbourhood for families since the opening of the new GW Graham Middle/Secondary School here.
At the eastern boundary is Halcyon Meadows, a recently developed gated community of over 200 detached retirement style ranchers and current new construction at the southern end of Vedder Crossing is bringing additional condominium housing options to this area as well.
Nature lovers will enjoy the quick access to the trails and fishing along the Vedder/Chilliwack Rivers and commutors can avoid in-town traffic with the Keith Wilson Rd route to the freeway.
