Retire to the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, one of the Globe and Mail’s Top Picks for Retirees!

According to an article in the Globe and Mail, the Comox Valley is one of three top choices to retire to in British Columbia due to its temperate climate, affordability and the Comox airport (YQQ) which offers direct flights to Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and other destinations.

Its economy is strong, and the Valley, which includes Courtenay, Comox and several small towns, is known for a number of festivals, water sports and skiing at Mount Washington. There’s a new $300 million hospital under construction, large retail shopping centres, North Island College and many other amenities.

The Ridge is a new master-planned residential community, offering lots for sale in Courtenay. Approximately 30 lots in Phase I have been sold and many new residents have already moved into their new homes.  Lots at the Ridge start at $169,900 and new homes start  from approximately $430,000. Many of the new custom built homes offer ocean and mountain views. These custom homes can be built in a variety of styles, including bungalow or two-storey designs. Also, legal secondary suites can be built into your new home and in addition, a separate residential building (carriage house) can be built on the same lot - perfect for family, guests, or as a mortgage helper.

The preferred builders at The Ridge -  Brando Construction Ltd. and Lawmar Contracting - have already helped many happy homeowners build their dream homes here. Show homes are available and open house times are 12pm-2pm Saturdays and Sundays, or contact them for a private tour.
