Located south of Spruce Drive on the west side of Vedder Road, and with streets branching from the Wiltshire corridor, this residential area is home to many empty nesters and active retirees.
Attracting this population is the predominance of larger detached rancher style homes ideal for those wanting one-level living combined with yards large enough for gardening and outdoor enjoyment. A quiet neighbourhood of quality homes it is also attractive to families wanting the convenience of easy access to schools and the Sardis shopping areas.
Some larger executive homes on over-sized lots are located along Worthington and Newby Dr. as well as a mix of older and newer custom executive homes on Pioneer, Gleneden and Eden Drives.

Still convenient to the Sardis shopping corridor yet with a more residential setting, the Spruce Grove/Wells Landing area consists of a number of smaller neighbourhoods attractive to families and seniors alike.
From the larger executive homes backing Wells Creek, to the affordable family neighbourhood surrounding Circle Drive Park, the adult community of Wellsbrooke, and the newer infill townhome complexes on Sunshine Drive and Wells Road, this area offers something for everyone.
Encompassing the area west of Vedder Rd and north of Spruce Drive, residents of these neighbourhoods enjoy quick access to both urban amenities and open greenspace. Evans road forms the western border to this area and when it is completed in the summer of 2009, the Evans Rd overpass and freeway interchange will make commuting a breeze from this area and will also provide residents quick access to the downtown amenities such as the Prospera Centre, Leisure Centre and Townsend Park.

- 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.

- Older, established residential area of custom built homes
- Newer area with mix of detached, multifamily and senior’s complexes
- Sardis “duck” park with small lake, playground and walking paths
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.
