 Hey Big Fisher,do you think maybe the break ins are targeted? Thieves who wait and watch for anglers who park along the river,knowing they wont be back to the viehicle for awhile? I dont count that as the town of Sardis having a big crime problem. I haved lived in the same house for 10 yrs and none of my nieghbors have ever been broken into. Nor do i know anyone in my circle of friends and aqaintances who live in other parts of Sardis to have suffered a break in. I suggest you stop parking beside the river and which is obviously a crime area. ::) In no way does this reflect upon the nice people we have living here in Sardis. ;D ps, I grew up in Surrey,and haved lived in many different parts of this country due to my work.Hands down,Sardis is where i will stay. Proud to be raising my son in this great town. ;)

are you looking to buy or rent a place. There are some really nice homes off peach road being put in. I know the builder personally and he does good work, and my brothers just bought one and there is two more going up right beside it. they start at 394 and up and are very nice and right beside the river!

I just live down the street from these houses.  The 2 minute walk to the river is way to long and I would not recommend it.  On the serious side, it definitely has a small town feel.  The Chilliwack side does have a higher crime rate then the Sardis side.  I do not think you will regret it.  The neighborhood I live in is excellent, with the kids being safe to play around the neighborhood.  Have 2 in elementary school with the third staring next year.

I live just off of South Sumas and Tyson for the past 8 1/2 years.  Great neighbourhood with quality schools.  I am a Mortgage Broker and have awesome realtor contacts if anyone is looking to buy in Chilliwack/Sardis area.  Oh yes, the smell from the farms, orchards, mills and burning only lasts 11 of the 12 months of the year!!!  Other than that life is great in the country.

Oh that terrible manure smell from the farm!!! I usually held my breath when driving through the farm stretch and hit the rotten air pocket. Not sure how any one can stay around the house to smell it for more than 10 minutes. Do you guys smell it in the area around Peach Rd? It is probably better air to live up the hill like those lovely houses on the hills around the Crossing bridge. How much those cost?

Cow manure is like chicken soup for the soul... Builds character.
Pig cupcakes on the other hand...

That's not manure, its rotting Brussel sprouts.  For some reason farmers left a lot in the fields, rather than harvest them.

I smelt that foul air usually early Spring when the farms spread manures to the fields. It usually is west of Lickman. Get used to it? Wow.  ;D
Probably need to spray lot of air freshener around the house to get rid of the smell. I am happy to hear that Peach Rd area is free of those smell. It is nice area to retire to some day.

If you are into fishing, this is the best place to live in. Also, in the summer time you can get the sweetest corn in BC , maybe even anywhere in the world. I love Sardis?
