Ask two locals to describe Sardis Park and you’re likely to get two very different answers. One may describe the original Sardis Park, another the new.
The original Sardis Park is a lovely established residential area of larger, many custom built, homes on oversized treed lots. Developed beginning in the 1970’s with the first homes backing onto Sardis park itself, overlooking its walking trails and sparkling lake, this sought after neighbourhood with its mature, landscaped lots and meandering streets has been the pride of those that reside there and often the envy of those that with they did. The area has continued to grow over the years , extending to Chilliwack River Road to the east , Britton Ave to the north and Higginson Rd to the south.
In early 2000’s and again in 2007, 2 large tracts of previously undeveloped land adjacent to this area became available for housing. This new area of Sardis park, running adjacent to Vedder Rd and to the south of Higginson, is a mix of lovely newer family homes, well-appointed townhomes, low-rise condominiums and two large adult gated complexes comprised of upscale detached retirement ranchers.
Along with this new development came a commercial component providing the residents of the area with closer access to some retail, banking and medical services.
