Residents at The Ridge recently celebrated at their 3rd annual neighbourhood party. Nearly 200 residents, family and friends enjoyed the afternoon and evening festivities. This yearly event is a highlight in this growing Courtenay neighbourhood. Residents of all ages enjoy gathering together to see old friends and meet new neighbours. 

The children enjoyed an inflatable bounce house, face painting and games in the park. Volleyball, frisbee and croquet kept all ages active. And the highlight of the event was the live band - the crowd was up and dancing to live music. 

A barbeque and buffet kept everyone fed and smiling.

 Living at The Ridge is truly a unique experience. Neighbours become friends and welcome all new residents to the area. 

One couple, Brianna and Jeremy recently shared how much their family enjoys living at The Ridge.

“The first time we visited The Ridge we fell in love with it, because of the layout of the neighbourhood, the walking trails for our dog, and the amazing mountain and ocean views. We can even see the Mainland mountains from here! We immediately enjoyed a very welcoming feeling driving into The Ridge. We feel a great sense of community here.”

Visit and find out for yourself  - construction of new homes is now underway in Phase 3A.

Southwind Development Corporation is moving ahead with Phase IV of the The Ridge at RiversEdge, a pre-planned residential development. They have made an application for preliminary layout approval to build a 20-lot subdivision on this 5.24 acre site in West Courtenay.

Single family homes will be built on these oversize lots starting in the Spring of 2017. New trails will be built within the subdivision to connect with existing trails and the Ruth Masters Park, along the Puntledge River.

Some site preparation has been completed and lot servicing will commence in early 2017.

For more information on the new homes and lots, contact Art Meyers of Royal LePage in the Comox Valley at 250.207.1879. (Note: this is not an offering for sale)

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.
