With summer season upon us, Vancouver Island residents enjoy one simple thing many Canadians can’t – sitting outside in the evenings, without hiding from buzzing mosquitoes and other insects!

Unlike in many parts of the country, Vancouver Islanders enjoy the outdoors year-round, thanks to a temperate climate and fewer nuisance insects. Ocean breezes keep the winters mild and generally snow-free, and summer evenings pleasant for outdoor entertaining.

New homeowners at The Ridge have come from across the country to discover the joys of summer evenings on their ocean or mountain view patios. The Ridge is located in the city of Courtenay in the Comox Valley, an outdoor lover’s paradise.

Prices for lots at The Ridge start at $173,900 and new home prices start from the low $400,000s (which includes the lot and the landscaping). Phase 1 is now about 65% sold, with 30 new homes completed and many under construction.

Make a plan to tour the two show homes at an open house weekends from 12-2 pm.
