Located south of Keith Wilson Rd between Unworth Rd to the west and with the Education Park as its eastern boundary, this area was built beginning in the mid 1990′s with additonal growth in the early 2000′s.
With the exception of those on Riverwood, the detached homes here are all part of “small lot” bareland strata developments. The earlier homes, those closest to the Vedder River and Rotary Trail, are primarily mid-priced basement entry homes offering very affordable choices in a close-knit family oriented neighbourhood.
A newer bareland strata development River Grove, was developed in 2003 and consists of about 30 larger, more upscale two-storey homes with full basements, still on smaller lots but ideal for the busy family with not too much time for yard work. A mix of two storey, basement entry and rancher homes was built about the same time on Riverwood.
Built in 2005, a large complex of family style 3 level townhomes, The Gables at Rivers Bend, offers a spacious, affordable option for families wanting to live in this desireable area. The Gables is accessed by either Peach Rd or Carter Rd to the east . At the south end of Carter Rd sits River Pines, a small grouping of adult oriented detached ranchers.
With easy access to the highway for commuters via the Keith Wilson/ No.3 Rd route, and just a quick walk to the river and walking trails combined with the excellent nearby schools, this is a great lifestyle choice for families.

- New development, southwest corner of Sardis
- Mix of single detached, family townhomes and adult ranchers
- Walk to Rotary trail along the Vedder
Located in the south-western-most corner of Sardis, Webster Landing is our most recently developed neighbourhood, having begun in 2006 on a previously undeveloped tract of land just north of the Vedder River.
Designed as a planned community, the development consists of a ring of custom family homes, mostly 2 storey or 2 storey with basement style with larger executive homes positioned on the prime lots which back the green space and walking trails along the Vedder.In the centre of the neighbourhood are two multi-family complexes. The Haven, intended as a primarily adult community features upscale detached ranchers, many with full basements, and The Grove , a grouping of upscale family-sized 3 bedroom townhomes.
With nature at its doorstep and easy highway access via the Keith Wilson/No. 3 rd route, this neighbourhood has much appeal for families looking for that combination as well as a brand new home. With the exception of the lots backing the river this is primarily a small lot subdivision . At this point in early 2009, the development is nearing completion with just a very few homes remaining uncoccupied.
An exciting new development on land adjacent to Webster landing is in the final stages of plannng and will provide a variety of housing choices in this part of town over the next few years as well as new park space and community trails.

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.
