- Walk to Rotary trail
- Single family small lot subdivisions
- Bareland Strata
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.

- Established residential area
- Primarily single family, larger lots
- Hospital, Leisure and Recreation facilities
Residents of the Downtown Westside describe their neighbourhood as ” convenient to absolutely everything”. Still just a short drive or for some even a relatively short walk to the downtown shopping areas, this choice residential area was developed primarily in the 60’s and 70’s.
Home choices include some real classic full basement rancher, bi-level and custom built split level homes, mostly on larger lots and many with mature trees and landscaping.
At its centre is Chilliwack’s main amenities complex and residents here enjoy easy walking access to the Prospera Centre, The Landing Leisure Centre, Townsend Park, Exhibition Stadium and the soon to be completed new Arts and Cultural Centre.
On the eastern side is the Chilliwack Hospital and adjacent to it a newly developed area offering upscale condos and townhomes. To the west, Rainbow Estates, a popular modular home park for senior residents and two older but nicely updated townhouse complexes offering affordable family housing options.
Commutors travelling west from this neighbourhood can avoid in town traffic by taking Wolfe Rd and Chilliack Mtn Rd to the Lickman Rd interchange.
