Resting on Sumas Mountain in Abbotsford, with the best panoramic view of Mount Baker and Sumas Prairie, Falcon Ridge aspires to offer “elevated elegance.” Abbotsford’s newest neighbourhood on 36468 Florence Drive combines a classic family home with the convenience of a nearby metropolitan area. Remax agent, John Corrie, says the units are aimed at established home buyers. The current development is overseen by two local companies, Odessa Builders and Windridge Properties, which are working to create “elegant homes with modern layouts” and unobstructed views of the Fraser Valley landscape. Not far from shopping outlets, fine and casual dining restaurant options and various other recreational opportunities, Falcon Ridge remains in proximity to urban areas, without losing a rural feel. After selling out its initial 42 units, Falcon Ridge is now entering its second phase of
development, featuring a mix of single- and multi-family homes. The four available show homes are 3,678 sq.ft and contain three to four bedrooms and a family room, with one show home displaying a legal one bedroom and den basement suite. “All homes have double garages, are fully landscaped and air-conditioned,” adds Corrie. “Also included are appliance packages, HST, and are quality built with home warranty.” Keeping with the custom of open spaces and views, the interior details include vaulted ceilings and oversized windows. The main floor includes all amenities such as a stone countertop kitchen, laundry room and master suite. Bathrooms include a large tub, a separate walk-in shower and cabinets. Ensuring “affordable luxury without compromise,” the spacious homes guarantee beautiful, open views for years to come with prices ranging from $789,900 to $799,000.

The target market is “downsizers looking for a lock-and-go lifestyle, and firsttime home buyers,” says Lawry.

A view down the sidewalk street in the Auguston community within the Sumas Mountains.
Typically, the demographic for the new developments will maintain the same focus as the rest of Auguston, which is “a place for people of all ages to call home.” The additions to the Auguston area will be constructed amongst a “rich array of natural settings, neighbourhood
parks and the local school,” adds Heath. “We want to maintain the feel of a family oriented residential community.” The presentation pavilion is open by appointment only, from 12 p.m. to 5 p.m. at 36363 Auguston Parkway South. Prices for the new development have not yet been determined.
