Kootenay Boundary E / West Boundary pairs small-town warmth with big-backyard adventure along the Kettle and Granby rivers. Historic main streets in Grand Forks, Greenwood, and Midway offer cafes, markets, and heritage storefronts, while quick access to Trail and Rossland extends job, campus, and service options year-round. Sunny, dry summers and a surprisingly long growing season complement a Highway 3 corridor that keeps mountain towns closely connected.
Water lovers flock to the warm shores of Christina Lake Provincial Park, with miles more to explore in nearby Gladstone Provincial Park. Cyclists and hikers trace railway history on the Columbia & Western corridor, and families carve laps at community-run Phoenix Mountain. Arts and culture show up daily, from exhibitions at Gallery 2 to seasonal farmers’ markets and music in the parks.
Education and care are well supported: students attend School District 51 (Boundary), with post-secondary pathways through Selkirk College. Healthcare spans community clinics and the regional hub at Kootenay Boundary Regional Hospital. Housing ranges from century homes and in-town ranchers to creekside acreages and view lots, giving buyers and sellers flexible choices.
