Why is Everyone Moving to The Comox Valley?

Posted: Aug 19, 2020

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. This two-storey home features 3,022 sq. ft. and includes a 937 sq. ft. secondary suite perfect for extended family or to generate a rental income. This home features views of Comox Bay and of the mainland mountains and is priced at $849,900.
