Description
Chilliwack is a thriving city of 75,000 people in the eastern section of the beautiful Fraser Valley region of southern British Columbia. The city has a great community spirit, a city with a small town attitude. It is surrounded by fertile farms and snow capped mountains. The recreational opportunities are endless. Exciting fishing and boating opportunities await in the Fraser River, as well as the Chilliwack and Vedder Rivers. The city has the finest recreational facilities available with the recent opening of new ice rinks and swimming pools. Also the Heritage Park exhibition buildings and grounds are home to a continuous variety of trade shows.

The weather in Chilliwack is typical for the southern west coast of British Columbia. Mild winters with occasional snow falls and warm dry summers. Living here places you much closer to the recreational opportunities offered in the vast interior of the province.

It would be difficult to find a better setting to raise your family or to retire in than that afforded by the beauty of Chilliwack.

Why Live in Ford Creek?
Ford Creek is one of the first communities to be built in the newly serviced Eastern Hillsides of Chilliwack. All of the modern services are available including sanitary sewer, city water, underground Hydro power, natural gas, phone and cable.

Ford Creek is close enough to the city to benefit from all of its services, but far away to have its own unique sense of community. Ford Creek is a relatively small development with a total of 62 new homes. It is bordered to the south by the pristine Ford Creek. The challenging, beautiful and increasingly well known golf community of “The Falls” is on the other side of the creek and steps up the adjacent hill sides. Many recreational opportunities are very nearby including Minter Gardens, Trans Canada Water Slides, as well as the resort community of Harrison Hot Srings on pristine Harrison Lake.

Immediately to the North is the new Unity Christian High School. A beautiful new facility with expansive play ground. Access to the freeway is very convenient by way of the Annis exit. From here you are only a 10 minute’s drive from downtown Chilliwack, perhaps closer than many areas of Promontory Heights.

Ford Creek has a gently rolling terrain with a variety of building sites. Some offer back yards on Ford Creek itself. Others have spectacular views to the west so you can watch the sun set. Lots come in many shapes and sizes allowing for a variety of prices, from affordable smaller homes to large executive homes.

Who is building the Homes?
Other than on a few lots that have been sold, all homes will be built by Kingma Brother Developments Ltd., a local builder with decades of experience in building residential communities. To learn more about this well established and respected builder return to our home page.

How do I buy a Home in Ford Creek?
As you may know, the current real estate market in the Fraser Valley is extremely busy. This makes it difficult for us to build custom homes at this time. We have chosen many fine plans to be built in Ford Creek. Some are being built right now. When the foundation is in the ground and the framing starts we will put the house on the market at a certain price and it can be purchased at that time. Individual lots will not be for sale.

What kind of houses are to be built?
We will be building a variety of homes. These will include two storey homes on basements and crawl spaces, basement entry homes and ranchers on basements and crawl spaces. We will be using many exterior design and architectural features. These will include the use of stone, natural shingles, board and batten wood and vinyl siding. All roofs will be 30 year fiberglass. Our decorators have already chosen the colours and materials to be used on the exterior of each home to be built. We want all exteriors to compliment each other with extensive use of traditional design features. Purchasers will have the opportunity to choose the interior colours and materials if there is still time when the sale is made.

Features
The interior of these homes will feature fine quality details. These may include 9 foot high ceilings, extensive use of ceiling cove moldings, header moldings, 4” baseboard, hardwood floors, maple cabinetry and wrought iron railings.
