The Ridge, One of the Best Neighbourhoods in Courtenay!

One of the best ways to find out how residents feel about their neighbourhood is to hear directly from them. The Ridge website features many testimonials from area residents including one from James and his family who recently relocated there. Here is an excerpt:

“Our family includes my wife, our children, ages 5 and 9 and my parents. We were living in the UK and my parents were living on the lower mainland, and together we were looking for a place to relocate to on Vancouver Island, away from the hustle and bustle of the larger cities. We chose a home in The Ridge and moved here in the summer of 2021. We are proud owners!”

We recently spoke with one family about their decision to move to the Comox Valley, and specifically to The Ridge, from Alberta:

Jodi and Michael were looking to move to Vancouver Island where they could have easy access to enjoy their hobbies of mountain biking and skiing. They also wanted to build a new home to share with Michael’s parents, who are in their 70s.

They researched the areas of Victoria and the Comox Valley, and chose the Comox Valley because of the close accessibility to biking and skiing at Mount Washington. They chose The Ridge development in Courtenay because they really liked the ocean and mountain views, the spaciousness of the neighbourhood and the walking trails. They felt welcomed by the friendly neighbours and they appreciate the lack of traffic noise and lack of light pollution.

The two families are now happily settled in their new custom home at The Ridge built by one of their preferred builders, Lawmar Contracting.

Contact The Ridge to register as a “prospective client” and receive more information about their next phase of lots, which will be available in late 2018.
