Back to All Neighbourhoods List
- Close to Sardis service corridor
- Multifamily and detached homes
- Great options for retirees
For those looking for a more residential setting than that offered by the downtown neighbourhoods, but still wanting easy access to shopping, medical and entertainment amenities, the Regency park area of Sardis is an excellent choice.
Located just south of the freeway and with many streets within walking distance to the Cottonwood and Chilliwack malls, this area offers a variety of housing options. Tree-lined streets such as Sapphire and Diamond offer family sized homes as well as retirement style ranchers and a surprise access to lovely walking trails and greenspace.
The Cottonwood Retirement Village and Creekside Estates on Jasper Drive are two examples of complexes designed for and popular with our senior folks. Established townhome complexes as well as some newer upscale multifamily townhomes and condos offer choices in a variety of price levels.
This area is also great for the commuter with access to the freeway via the Vedder Rd interchange and the soon to be completed Evans Rd access.
Schools
Evans Elementary School - kindergarten to grade six

Sardis West

Back to All Neighbourhoods List
- Quiet residential living
- Established neighbourhood
- Easy Commuter access
This was one of the original residential developments in the Sardis area with the first homes, mostly split entry style, being built in the eary 70′s in two pockets around Sardis Senior and Watson Elementary. This large residential area continued to develop into the mid to late 1980′s with a variety of home styles including some lovely classic split level and west coast contemporary homes. Encompassing the area west of the Vedder Road corridor, from Stevenson Road on the north to Watson Rd on the south, this established neighbourhood is an excellent choice for families seeking quiet residential living, close proximity to schools and good-sized family friendly homes and lots. Many of the houses have been updated over the years but there has been very little ‘infill” or redevelopment making this a very attractive and reasonably affordable part of the community. Evans Rd forms the western boundary and with the completion in 2009 of the new Evans rd access and fly-over, residents here will enjoy quick access to the freeway and a direct route to the north side of town making it perfect for families needing to commute or wanting to enjoy the amanities such as the Leisure Centre and Propsera Centre on the north side.

Webster Landing

Back to All Neighbourhoods List
- 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.
