Neighbourhood guide

Living in Fairfield Island

Fairfield Island is a mainly suburban and residential area forming the northernmost part of Chilliwack, with rural pockets and agricultural roots. It is bounded by Fraser River sloughs.

Location & boundaries

It is enclosed by Bell Slough and the Fraser River to the north and Hope Slough to the south, sitting just north of downtown.

History

Settled in 1871 on long-standing Stó:lo territory, the area shifted from farmland to suburban housing after the Second World War, with much of its stock built in the 1960s and 1970s; the 1948 Fraser flood prompted major dike upgrades.

Lifestyle

The neighbourhood is quiet and residential, with several local parks and a family orientation.

Housing & property types

Detached single-family homes predominate, many from the 1960s and 1970s, alongside some larger rural-style lots.

Parks & recreation

It contains numerous neighbourhood parks, including Emerald, Fiesta, Glasgow, Guinet, Hymar, Shamrock and Strathcona, plus riverfront dikes.

Schools

Schools are operated by the Chilliwack School District (SD33).

Who it may suit

May suit families wanting established detached homes near the river and parks.

Buying a home in Fairfield Island

BC's 2023 small-scale multi-unit housing legislation now allows three to four units on most single-family lots in larger municipalities, which is reshaping what detached lots are worth. Check the lot's current zoning with the municipality, and get a home inspection and a title search before removing subjects.

Budget for BC's property transfer tax on top of the price — it's charged on the purchase and first-time buyers and new builds may qualify for exemptions. See our BC & Alberta closing costs checklist.
