The Highlands at Shannon Lake

- Low-maintenance yards, with road maintenance and snow removal handled by the strata
- Shannon Lake Golf Course next door, with shopping and transit close by
- Suits families and move-up buyers who want a newer detached home with less upkeep
Thacker Ridge Estates
A small, upscale gated community of 22 homes on Thacker Drive, built in 2004 as a bare land strata. Homes range from about 3,000 to 4,500 square feet with 3 to 5 bedrooms, and most have an in-ground pool. The community is surrounded by vineyards, lake views and mountains, about five minutes from the beach.
With so few homes, listings here don't come up often and buyers can be competitive when they do. I've sold in Thacker Ridge myself; see my past sales.

Before you buy in any strata community
Bylaws on pets, rentals and age, strata fees, and the health of the reserve fund can all change over time. Before you buy, I'll pull the current strata documents and go through them with you, so there are no surprises. Learn more about choosing between a condo, townhouse or house.
Community details are general and were accurate to the best of Josh's knowledge at the time of writing. Strata bylaws, fees, amenities and restrictions change; confirm current details with the strata documents before you buy.
