The community you choose to call home is so important, and The Ridge once again is showing why it is becoming such a popular neighbourhood in Courtenay. A friendly competition is underway between neighbours for their third annual holiday lighting contest. Many residents are participating in creating a festive atmosphere for the entire community to enjoy. The holiday season is the time when the neighbours come together to lift the spirits of everyone who visit the area. 

The community's first Christmas decoration contest was held in 2019, when a few of the residents joined together to acknowledge the homeowners who went above and beyond to decorate their homes and yards for the holdiay season. The residents established criteria, made the top choices and Buckstone Developments awarded prizes to the homeowners. 

This year the friendly-judging will take place mid-December. The winners and honourable mentions will be posted on The Ridge Facebook page - stay tuned!

In the meantime, take the time to drive or stroll through The Ridge neighbourhood. The results are truly beautiful as most of the homes are lit up with both traditional and creative lighting displays. People of all ages will be dazzled by the festive displays. Take a breath and enjoy these special moments.

Some of the most important considerations when choosing a new neighbourhood for your family include safety, quiet neighbourhoods and a sense of community. The Ridge in Courtenay, BC has built up an excellent reputation during the past seven years for being one of the most family-friendly neighbourhoods in the Comox Valley.

All of the homes at The Ridge have both front and back yards and also include a deck or patio to relax in. Enjoy the mountain and ocean views from your heritage-style front porch or your private yard, great for the kids and pets.

Nearby amenities include grocery and retail stores, restaurants and coffee shops, banks, pharmacies and medical offices. Courtenay is a laid-back coastal community offering locally grown culinary delights, an active arts community and a vibrant music scene. There are a myriad of community activities for all ages including baseball, soccer, hockey, golf, sailing, dance, gymnastics and more. These activities are available within a 15 minute radius of The Ridge.

The Ridge community includes an extensive network of walking trails, a large park and a small lake. The community is located adjacent to Millard Creek Nature Park, and only minutes from the city centre and the ocean’s edge. Mount Washington is located close by and offers summer activities such as hiking, mountain biking, chair lift rides and access to a zip line. Once the snow arrives, the focus shifts to skiing, snowboarding and snow shoeing.

The Cumberland and Courtenay recreation centres are located nearby as is the newly built Comox Valley Hospital, Aquatic Centre and the Comox Airport. Combine this close proximity to amenities with the easy access to breathtaking nature destinations and you have the best of both worlds.

This neighbourhood is family-friendly, dog-friendly and everyone-friendly. You will often see people waving to each other from across the street or from next door. You and your family will be welcomed by the other residents and will soon get to know each other. Here is a part of a testimonial from one of our residents, James and his family who share this exact sentiment:

“Often, we sit on our front porch and talk and wave to other residents. We have met a lot of new people at The Ridge and find everyone to be very friendly and personable.

“Our younger children are active in sports and we really like the close proximity to these activities from The Ridge. We also walk and bike around all of the trails at The Ridge and we often use the seaside trail to ride directly to the beach which is only minutes away.”

The Ridge welcomed its first residents eight years ago, and homeowners love living at The Ridge. When people first arrive at this subdivision, many are surprised at the overall beauty and peacefulness of the area. 

The Ridge Neighbourhood

The scenery is truly beautiful, with ocean views over the Comox Marina, the surrounding Beaufort Mountain Range and of course, views of the iconic Comox Glacier. Bald eagles and swans fly overhead. Deer can be seen awndering near the pond.

Wide boulevards and sidewalks are an invitation to all residents to come and explore. These wide sidewalks and pathways make for a great place for biking and skateboarding and they are scooter-friendly. Take a tour around the area, or be adventurous and walk or ride your bike on the trail that leads directly to the Royston Seaside Trail or Millard Creek Park.

Quiet and Safe

There is no through traffic at The Ridge. When you drive into the community, you're coming home, not going through the area to somewhere else. For this reason, it is very quiet as there is only local traffic. 

Parents of young families can relax, knowing their children can safely play at the large community park. This park has a very large grassed area and a play structure for younger children. This area is visible from many homes at The Ridge, making it easier to see your family members at a quick glance. 

All street lighting in the subdivision are designed to “dark sky” standards, making star gazing a joy.

There is a sense of community amongst home owners, as everyone begins to know each other. Take a drive to The Ridge and look at the high quality construction of new homes that are being built by their preferred builders. Residents “Love Living at The Ridge.”

A survey conducted in March, 2021 by Rate.ca, ranked Courtenay, BC in the Comox Valley as the 11th best spot in Canada for livability. The key factors that the survey measured, among people who decided to relocate during COVID, included scenery, affordability, economic and job growth, the size of the city or town and outdoor activities.

For those of us living here, this comes as no surprise. Courtenay is located in a naturally stunning, verdant valley surrounded the Beaufort Mountain range with it's Comox Glacier to the west and the shorelines of Comox Bay to the east. It is truly one of the most scenic and liveable communities on Vancouver Island.

Residents of The Ridge in Courtenay are eager to share why they love living at The Ridge. The sense of community is important in this new Courtenay neighbourhood, and this sense of community was very strong over the holiday season.

When winter nights were dark and gloomy at the end of a challenging year, residents of The Ridge did their best to brighten the spirits of their neighbours and light up the neighbourhood. Christmas lights and decorations were on full display throughout the community. Residents at The Ridge went above and beyond and created a festive Christmas atmosphere.

The first of what will become and annual Christmas decorating contest was born when a few residents banded together to acknowledge the neighbours who put extra effort into decorateing their homes for the holiday season. A few residents were surprised when they received acknowledgment of their efforts in the firstsurprise Christmas contest held at The Ridge. 

The residents from these homes were surprised and happy to receive a small gift towards their efforts, as no official Christmas Lighting Contest had been declared. Now it is official! There will be annual lighting contests moving forward at The Ridge. It is an event that will bring out a friendly competition amongst the residents for years to come and promotes the community for everyone to enjoy.

Establishing this neighbourhood contest, inspired by the actions of others in their community, is one of the many reasons The Ridge is such a welcoming place to call home.

In the summer the community hosts an annual block party in the park, and on a daily basis friends and neighbours stop to chat, go for walks, play in the park, and enjoy the neighbourhood and the people in it.

Vancouver Island is well known for having some of the warmest and most temperate weather in Canada, making it a popular place to call home. Coastal communities such as Courtenay enjoy warm dry summers and mild winters sprinkled with rain and the occasional day or two of snow. 

The Comox Valley, which includes the city of Courtenay, town of Comox, the village of Cumberland, and a number of unincorporated communities, is easily one of the most desirable places to live in Canada. This Vancouver Island coastal community offers easy access to a huge range of year-round outdoor recreational activities.

The weather is mild enough to go surfing and kite boarding year-round. In the winter months, when a storm rolls onto Vancouver Island, the biggest swells are active, prompting surfers and boarders to put on their wetsuits and head to the nearest beach.

If you are a diving enthusiast, explore the rocky reef at Flora Inlet on the edge of Hornby Island where you might spot the elusive Six-gill Shark between April and September. You can also take a dive at the Royston Wrecks, a man-made breakwater of sunken ships along the shoreline where water visibility is excellent. For a unique underwater adventure, snorkel with the salmon in local streams and rivers.

With the right outdoor gear, you can do pretty much any activity in the winter in the Comox Valley. For instance, the golf courses are open year round and you can play golf at seven public courses almost any day of the year. Many people have relocated to the Comox Valley because of their love for mountain biking. Here you will find hundreds of trails, from beginner to advanced in Cumberland, Mount Washington, Forbidden Plateau and other areas throughout the Valley. The region is a hotspot with many mountain bikers coming from other provinces and countries to compete!

Are you ready to make the move? New ocean and mountain view homes at The Ridge in Courtenay are now ready for you. New homes are selling quickly in Phase 3A, and more lots are now available for custom homes. Contact one of the preferred builders at The Ridge to learn more.

Step away from a frantic urban lifestyle and enjoy a more laid back, relaxing way of life in the Comox Valley, a piece of paradise on Vancouver Island. 

The Comox Valley includes the city of Courtenay, Town of Comox, Village of Cumberland, Hornby and Denman Islands and several unincorporated communities. Located on the east coast of central Vancouver Island, with a growing population of 65,000, the region welcomes people from across Canada who choose to enjoy the year-round outdoor recreation activities and extensive amenities that the communities offer. The median age of residents here is 48 and the population includes families, retirees and young people. 

The Comox Valley offers all of the critical things that create a strong, liveable community:

• Recently, a new hospital was built in Courtenay. There are doctors and other medical professionals who are taking on new patients in our community. Having these facilities close by is comforting for those seeking medical care.
• North Island College has programs for students of all ages and has an Elder College program for learners over 55.
• The Comox Valley Aquatic Centre has swimming activities for all ages.
• The Comox Valley Sports Centre has two sheets of ice and a wellness centre, weight room and sauna.
• YQQ is a busy airport with multiple daily flights connecting the to Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton, and seasonal flights to Mexico.
• A diverse economy.
• A vibrant arts and cultural community.

Compared to larger cities in Metro Vancouver and the Victoria area, housing in the Comox Valley is more affordable. If you are thinking of relocating to the Comox Valley, a new home development like The Ridge offers benefits that appeal to many home buyers, including zoning for secondary suites that could be suitable for in-laws, adult children or renters. 

As an example, one of The Ridge's preferred builders, Coastal Custom Homes currently has a new home under construction and for sale. It is located at 3332 Harbourview Blvd. in Courtenay.

Spring has sprung on Vancouver Island. Flowers have been out for months already and the cherry and plum blossoms are now lighting up the streets with their pink glow.

One of the primary reasons people relocate to Vancouver Island is because of the temperate, year-round climate - an added benefit of this is the area's long gardening season. Early signs of spring like crocuses and daffodils typically pop up in February with a rainbow of tulips close behind. These flowers start to appear in March and April along with the helleborus and camellias.

The streets look beautiful when the cherry and plum trees bloom, showing off their magnificent canopies in a variety of shades of pink. 

Once April and May warm up, the colourful rhododendrons (which can grow to size of trees here!) and native dogwoods show off their spectacular blooms.

Families and retirees are looking to relocate where they can enjoy a temperate climate and live in a vibrant community. In Courtenay, the recreation opportunities are endless - at The Ridge, you'll live just 20 minutes from numerous golf courses, hiking, snow sports, world class mountain biking, water sports, fishing, beach walks and other outside activities.

Comox Valley Builder Monterra Projects have been building custom-desgned homes and multi-family projects in this Vancouver Island community for many years. The Monterra team focuses on building relationships with their new home owners from the design process through to completion.
