- 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.

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.
