Real Estate in Silverdale
Situated about 70 kilometres from Vancouver lies Silverdale, a quiet neighbourhood in the District of Mission.
Silverdale, also sometimes referred to as “Southwest Mission” or the “Silverdale Comprehensive Planning Area,” is designated for significant urban growth under Mission’s Official Community Plan. Covering a span of over 3,400 acres, the land in Silverdale is ripe with real estate opportunities, from single-family homes to strata properties such as condos and townhouses.
The area is being divided into three separate neighbourhoods: Central Neighbourhood, West Neighbourhood and East Neighbourhood. More information on the Silverdale Central Neighbourhood Plan, the first of the three Silverdale Plans that are currently in progress, can be found here.
The District of Mission developed a Master Infrastructure Strategy in partnership with Ekistics Town Planning Inc., which will help serve as a critical tool in this emerging neighbourhood's planning, development and growth. Expect land developers, realtors, and investors to have continued strong interest in Silverdale as population growth is projected in large numbers. Polygon Homes, in particular, hold almost 70% of the land (roughly 1,800 acres) in the Central Neighbourhood and have submitted their Master Plan for the area, with strong support from the District.
About Silverdale, Mission, BC
Historically a rural area known for agricultural, fishing and logging activities, Mission saw a housing construction boom in the 1960s through 1980s during this suburbanization period. Silverdale is bound by rural land to the north, Silverdale Creek to the east, the Fraser River to the south and Silvermere Lake to the west. Like many areas in British Columbia, the neighbourhood gained its namesake from an original British location: Silverdale, Staffshordshire.
Silverdale is best accessible by car via Lougheed Highway (Highway 7) and the Abbotsford-Mission Highway (Highway 11).
Billy Miner famously held up a Canadian Pacific Railway Train on September 10, 1904, which was stopped at Silverdale and leaving Mission Junction at the time of the historic robbery. Rocko’s 24-Hour Diner is another famous hot spot, although primarily for fictional characters, as it is a popular filming location for films and television shows such as Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief and Riverdale.
The neighbourhood today, although small in population, is occupied by many types of residents, including families and married couples. Silverdale has elementary schools, a middle school, a secondary school, many parks and other community amenities to serve its growing community. The population in Silverdale alone is projected to grow by approximately 40,000 residents, almost double the entire current population of the District of Mission.
