Fraser Valley blends wide-open farmland with mountain horizons, giving residents room to breathe without losing city comforts. In Abbotsford, farm-to-table markets, an international airport, and a growing arts scene make everyday errands feel close at hand. East in Chilliwack, riverside trails and access to lakes invite quick after‑work escapes, while Mission pairs heritage streets with commuter rail and forested viewpoints. Farther east, resort-town energy in Harrison Hot Springs brings weekend-worthy dining, festivals, and lakeside strolls.
Education is a local strength: the multi-campus University of the Fraser Valley anchors trades, tech, and degree programs close to home, and community schools offer French immersion, athletics, and career-focused academies. Outdoor time comes easy, from paddling, swimming, and beach days at Cultus Lake Provincial Park to salmon-viewing walks along the Vedder and fishing on the Fraser. Agriculture shapes daily life in the best ways—seasonal u‑picks, berry festivals, and roadside stands mean your next dessert might be grown minutes away.
Getting around is straightforward. Highway 1 links town centers, the Fraser Valley Express bus connects communities, and Abbotsford International Airport offers convenient travel and the region’s signature airshow. Housing options range from townhomes near transit to acreages with space for a workshop or garden, so it’s easy to find a fit for your lifestyle.
