  • Location, Location, Location – second to none on the southwest side of the Puntledge River.
  • The Ridge at RiversEdge is unique. Southwind Developments Corporation is the only company in the Comox Valley that controls their entire development and building process from start to finish.

That’s the secret to Southwind’s success.
  • The Ridge is a preplanned single family neighbourhood on private property on a no-thru street where all homes are single level ranchers, so no two-storey homes looking down on your property.
  • Green Space. You are surrounded by nature at its finest. Just a few steps to the beautiful walking & biking trails along the spectacular Arden Greenway, the Puntledge River and Puntledge Park.
  • You will never have a neighbour in your back yard.
  • Your investment is protected by a sensible registered Homeowner Schedule of Restrictions that is designed to enhance the quality of life & increase the future value of your home.
  • Our target market (but not restricted) to adults 45 years and older to provide a quality neighbourhood where people can truly enjoy a quiet lifestyle.
  • The Ridge at RiversEdge is private property consisting of 24 homes with the street & street lights being the only common area. This bareland strata covers Robert Lang Drive only, with its boundaries. You own your own home and property.
  • The owners of Southwind Homes reside at RiversEdge. They live in the neighbourhood so you can feel secure knowing that they will be here for all and any issues on the 10 year warranty on all homes at The Ridge.
  • The Price. Southwind Homes at The Ridge at RiversEdge are the lowest priced new homes anywhere in the Comox Valley. Considering the quality of workmanship and materials, Southwind provides the very best products for your money.
