More Affordable
Attainable Ownership
Where else can you buy a nice three or four bedroom family home with views, close to all amenities & schools, in a safe neighbourhood, with all matter of attractions and recreation at your door & minutes from world class skiing, golfing and mountain biking for about $200,000?
Not only is housing remarkably affordable, but the cost of living is generally low and even entertainment, dining and shopping offer great value! The stress relief of not having to maintain a high city mortgage also leaves more money for holidays and free time to enjoy life in the South Kootenay! Many new residents have sold their over-priced urban home and found out what their money can really buy!
Urban Dweller: "I worked myself into the ground for years to afford a down payment on a small apartment in the inner city suburbs. It is near work, but that's about all. It is a shoe box with no yard and a concrete pad for parking. I look out onto other similarly uninteresting buildings and I can't afford to buy furniture as I'm trying to cope with a huge mortgage. At least if I could afford to get away on weekends and see some green grass it would be bearable!"
SKP: "I couldn't believe the great prices of the homes here. I have a beautiful 3 bedroom house with a great yard complete with a deck and hot tub. I have an awesome view across the valley and I only need to landscape a bit. My mortgage is a third of the rent I paid in the city for a box! I never want to go away because it's so fun living here and my thriving garden is such a pleasure!"
