Build Your Forever Home at The Ridge on Vancouver Island

When you walk around The Ridge community in Courtenay these days, you'll see many beautiful and creative lights displays to celebrate the Christmas season. This year, perhaps more so than ever, is an opportunity to be grateful for our families, our neighbours, and our community. For many of the homeowners here, living in The Ridge is truly a gift. Depending on the time of year, the panoramic views offer different landscapes of the Comox Glacier the mountains and of Comox Bay.

New home construction starts and real estate activity continues to be at its highest level ever at The Ridge. This master-planned community in the Comox Valley continues to welcome new residents to the area as new homes are completed. This is the perfect place to “be home for the holidays”.  

The preferred builders at The Ridge have reserved lots in Phase 3 and work with buyers to design a home that works for them and their stage of life. Is this home for a family? Or for retirement? Or for a family with adults that require independent space, such as a secondary or in-law suite? Builders often hear the phrase, “We are building our forever home here at The Ridge.”

Could a New Home at The Ridge be the Perfect Christmas Gift?

Developers and builders at The Ridge in Courtenay have noticed a trend of more and more people are relocating to the Comox Valley from lagrer urban centres. Familes and retirees are moving to enjoy the small-city charm, while still having access to all of the important amenities - including a new hospital, North Island College, a variety of shopping venues and the Comox Valley Airport. 

The Comox Valley on Vancouver Island is considered one of the most desirable places in Canada to live due to its close proximity to the ocean and many beaches, its mild climate and limitless year-round recreational options, all of which are available just a short walk, pedal or drive away. The Ridge is located in Courtenay, which is well known for having some of the warmest and most temperate weather in Canada. As a result, the area enjoys warm, dry summers and experiences mild, rainy winters with little to no snow. 

Real estate activity has been brisk on Vancouver Island for several months, with the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board reporting that sales of single-family homes increased in November 2020 by 33 per cent over November 2019. Rising home sales are due to a combination of factors, including extremely low interest rates, a lack of inventory and the lifestyle trend of families working and studying from home. 

The builders at The Ridge know that people are thinking ahead to next year, and considering the move to a new home, or even a new community for the Christmas season in 2021.

Now is the perfect time to consider building a new custom home at The Ridge. Developers have just released 61 new lots in Phase 3B that are available through their preferred builders. Take a tour of this phase via aerial video and you can see the stunning ocean views from The Ridge. 

Interested in finding out more about building a custom home? Contact one of the preferred builders who will work with you to design and build a custom home that suits your lifestyle. Come by and take a drive through this welcoming community. You will soon find out why residents “Love Living at The Ridge”
