New roads have been built and the construction has begun on several new homes in Phase II at The Ridge. Crews from the selected preferred builders are out in force as the spring weather settles into the Comox Valley.

Are you thinking of purchasing a new home in the Comox Valley? The Ridge is the perfect spot to build or buy your new home. It is one of the premium view spots in Courtenay, from which to enjoy year round views of the Beaufort Mountain Range, the Comox Glacier and Comox Bay and the mainland mountains.

Spring is one of the nicest seasons on Vancouver Island – great for hiking and beach combing before the summer crowds. Tourists flock to Vancouver Island from around the world to appreciate the natural beauty and charm of the communities, but residents of The Gales in Ladysmith can enjoy the best of Vancouver Island living just steps from their front door.

The newest townhouse development in Crown Isle is now under construction. Homes by Crown Isle‘s newest four-unit townhome, located at 993 Prestwick Place, is called the “Prestwick on The RISE”.

The exterior of the building will blend with Crown Isle’s West Coast Craftsman style, finished with Hardi Plank siding and shake accents in the gables, as well as covered patio areas, ready for gas BBQs.

Developers plan to begin site construction on Phase III of The Ridge in April or May of 2018.

The success of the first 2 phases of this development has brought many new residents to this welcoming neighbourhood. New home owners have come from many places, including from the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island, Victoria, Vancouver and the mainland, Alberta, Ontario and other places.
