- Hillside Residential
- Single family, multifamily
- Smaller lots, great views
Residential development began on Promontory Hill in the late 1980′s and has since that time been the neighbourhood of choice for many families relocating to Chilliwack and being drawn by the opportunity of new homes, incredible views and quiet family living.
Growth has continued throughout the 1990′s and 2000′s and today new homes being built on the upper reaches offer incredible views of the western valley and mountains and south overlooking the expanse of the Chillieack River Valley.
The eastern side of Promontory has remained primarily detached housing with the exception of the award winning Apple Creek/ Centre Rock townhome complex. The west side is home now to many newer multifamily complexes as well as several new detached housing subdivisions. Thom Creek, an upscale, established, gated community for active retirees is also located in this area.
Today, a wide variety of new and resale housing choices is available to those looking to make Promontory Heights their home. From established or brand new townhomes, affordable basement entry homes on quiet cul-de-sacs, two storey homes with basements suitable for the inlaws to high end executive 3 and 4 level homes for the dicerning professional looking for more house and less yard, the options and price levels are almost unlimited.
A recently developed commercial area at “Four Corners” has added some shopping amenities to the previously “residential only” neighbourhood, making life here more convenient and taking away the need to “drive down the hill for milk”. Walking trails wind their way throughout the hillside development and a large park adjacent to the elementary school provides green space for family activities and outings.
Promontory Heights has just two access roads, Promontory Rd which travels up from Vedder Rd, and the Prest Road Bypass providing easy access to and from the highway just east of town.
Families with school aged children considering relocation to Promontory Heights are cautioned tocarefully check catchment boundaries , and space availability for Promontory Heights Elementary School.

- Executive homes on larger lots
- Incredible Views
- Easy access to Freeway and downtown amenities
Offering primarily executive style homes on larger lots, the Little Mountain neighbourhood is a favourite for those seeking unique homes and outstanding views of the mountians and expanse of agricultural valley below.
Developed initially in the 1970′s on the south side with further development in the 90′s on the north side, these custom built homes are designed to take advantage of both the views and the contours of the hillside lots.
Accessed from Yale Rd via either Mountview or Kenswood Rds, this hillside neighbourhood offers a natural setting with mature trees and walking trails yet is conveniently located for the busy family, just minutes to downtown and only five minutes to the freeway via the Prest Road interchange.
More recent development on the North side, including the adult-oriented community of Grandview Ridge is accessed via Hope Rive Road on Fairfield Island. New building lots in this area are expected to be available in the next couple of years.
