Jubilee Heights

Jubilee Heights is the newest neighbourhood in Campbell River and the one that's changing fastest. The land, west of South Dogwood Street and above the Jubilee Parkway, is being developed by Couverdon, the real estate arm of Mosaic Forest Management, as a master-planned community of about 165 acres. Homes go up phase by phase, so each visit there seems to be a new street.

Beaver Creek Boulevard, the westward extension of Erickson Road, is the main way in. The Jubilee Heights commercial village sits near its corner with South Dogwood, giving the neighbourhood its own spot for everyday errands. Wetlands and green corridors have been kept through the plan, and trails link the streets to the Beaver Lodge Forest Lands, the city's big forest park, along the Dogwood trail.

The location is practical. Timberline Secondary and the North Island College campus are just up South Dogwood, Willow Point's village and beaches are a few minutes east, and the airport and Highway 19 are close by for trips down-island.

Most homes are new single-family houses on fresh lots, many built by local builders, which makes Jubilee Heights a common pick for families moving to Campbell River who want a new build rather than a renovation.
