Living in Eastern Hillsides

Eastern Hillsides is an MLS® sub-area name in the City of Chilliwack. The City doesn’t publish a boundary for it. The closest official description is the Eastern Hillsides Neighbourhood Plan area. The plan area is in the southeast part of Chilliwack, about 8 kilometres from downtown, and covers approximately 1,340 hectares. It is bounded to the west by the Ryder Lake uplands, to the south by Lookout Ridge and Elk Mountain, to the east by the Cascades in the Fraser Valley Regional District, and to the north by the Trans-Canada Highway and valley floor farmland. The City classifies Eastern Hillsides as a “hillside neighbourhood” in its Official Community Plan neighbourhood structure. See all Chilliwack neighbourhood guides.

What to look at in an Eastern Hillsides home

What the official sources say about the homes and lots, then the questions I go through with buyers.

Official

Plan dataHomes in the plan area

Early homes
The plan describes early development as large semi-serviced lots with single-family homes, and says small-lot zoning was introduced in 2001
Cells
Development is divided into development cells with unit allocations
Neighbourhood plan
MLS® data

Median
Lot size (MLS sales data, not an official source): the median lot size of detached houses sold between July 1 and October 8, 2026 was 7,013 sq ft, based on 11 sales with a recorded lot size.
Buyers

DetachedHouses

Look at
Lot size, the age of the roof, furnace, plumbing and wiring, and drainage
Ask
What the zone allows, and whether any suite was built with a permit
Watch for
Assuming you can add a suite or rebuild just because a neighbour did
Buyers

Hillside lotsSlopes and drainage

Look at
Slope, drainage, and any geotechnical report on the lot
Ask
What the City’s hillside rules require for the exact lot
Watch for
Assuming a lot that looks level is simple to build on
Buyers

Townhomes and condosStrata living

Look at
Strata fees, the depreciation report (the plan for future repairs), meeting minutes and bylaws
Ask
About upcoming special levies (extra one-time charges) and what the fees include
Watch for
Pet or age rules that don’t fit your plans

Planning, zoning and flood

Planning and flood notes for Eastern Hillsides

Plans, zoning and flood rules can be different for each lot.

  • The Eastern Hillsides Neighbourhood Plan is now Schedule B4 of Official Community Plan Bylaw 2025, No. 5500. The plan document was prepared by the City Planning Department in May 2012 and updated in 2025.
  • The plan document records that the City adopted the Eastern Hillsides Comprehensive Development Plan in 1994, and that Hillside Development Guidelines and a Municipal Tree Management Regulation followed in 2008 and 2009.
  • Under the 2050 plan update, the plan’s land use designations were replaced with the City-wide Official Community Plan designations. The development cells and unit allocations still regulate how many units may be developed.
  • ALR: the plan’s site-capacity work used the Agricultural Land Reserve as a constraint, but I did not confirm any specific ALR parcel in the area. City-wide, 67% of Chilliwack’s land (17,322 hectares) is in the ALR, and the Fraser River valley bottom accounts for 14,000 hectares of that.
  • Slope: about 45% of the plan area has slopes over 30%. Five main watercourses and ravines cross it, and the plan identifies geotechnical hazard areas.
  • The Greenspace Plan names the lower Marble Hill Slide area (mainly City-owned properties) and the upper Marble Hill Slide area (private undevelopable lands) among its sub-community park locations for the Eastern Hillsides.
  • Flood: the plan area is hillside land above the valley floor, with valley floor farmland along its northern edge.

My Chilliwack zoning guide covers agricultural and rural zones only. For a home on a city lot, send me the address and I’ll look up the zone.

Before you buy in Eastern Hillsides

  1. Check the slope and the geotechnical report. About 45% of the plan area is steeper than 30%, so ask the City and the seller for any geotechnical report on the lot.
  2. Check the ravines and watercourses. Ask the City whether a watercourse or ravine setback affects the lot, and have the inspector check drainage.
  3. Ask about the development cell. Ask the City how the plan’s development cells and unit allocations affect what can be built nearby.
  4. Confirm the school catchment. There is no school in the plan area, and SD33 is changing catchments in September 2027, so use the SD33 School Locator for the exact address.
  5. Check how you will get around. I found no bus route into the plan area, so plan for a car or check BC Transit.
  6. Get a full home inspection. Check the roof, drainage, furnace, plumbing and wiring.

FAQ

Eastern Hillsides questions

Where is Eastern Hillsides?

Eastern Hillsides is an MLS® sub-area name. The City doesn’t publish a boundary for it. The closest official description is the Eastern Hillsides Neighbourhood Plan area, in the southeast part of Chilliwack, about 8 kilometres from downtown, covering approximately 1,340 hectares. It is bounded to the west by the Ryder Lake uplands, to the south by Lookout Ridge and Elk Mountain, to the east by the Cascades in the Fraser Valley Regional District, and to the north by the Trans-Canada Highway and valley floor farmland. Ask me if a specific address is in it.

Which schools serve Eastern Hillsides?

There is no school inside the plan area. The neighbourhood plan says elementary students attend East Chilliwack Elementary on Chilliwack Central Road, and middle and secondary students are accommodated in Rosedale, Chilliwack Proper and Sardis. East Chilliwack Elementary (kindergarten to grade 5) is at 49190 Chilliwack Central Rd, and Rosedale Traditional Community School (kindergarten to grade 8) is at 50850 Yale Rd, Rosedale. SD33’s news page says a new east side elementary school opens in September 2027. Check an exact address with the SD33 School Locator.

How do I get around from Eastern Hillsides?

No route in BC Transit’s Chilliwack route list runs into the Eastern Hillsides plan area. Check the BC Transit Chilliwack page for changes.

The City’s directory lists Allan Creek Park (51314 Rowanna Cres), Forest Gate Park (51442 Allan Rd), Marble Hill Natural Area (7515 Marble Hill Rd) and the Chilliwack Community Forest (51642 Allan Rd), plus Allan Creek Trail and Elk Mountain Trail. No City recreation centre is in the area. The nearest is Cheam Leisure Centre at 45501 Market Way. The nearest library is the Chilliwack Library at 45860 First Avenue.

What plan covers Eastern Hillsides?

The Eastern Hillsides Neighbourhood Plan, now Schedule B4 of Official Community Plan Bylaw 2025, No. 5500. The plan document was prepared in May 2012 and updated in 2025. The City adopted the Eastern Hillsides Comprehensive Development Plan in 1994.

Are there slope or ravine concerns in Eastern Hillsides?

About 45% of the plan area has slopes over 30%, five main watercourses and ravines cross it, and the plan identifies geotechnical hazard areas. The Greenspace Plan names the lower and upper Marble Hill Slide areas among its sub-community park locations. Ask me or the City about a specific lot.

Is any of Eastern Hillsides in the ALR, and what are the lots like?

ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact address on the Agricultural Land Commission map. The plan’s site-capacity work used the ALR as a constraint, and City-wide 67% of Chilliwack’s land is in the ALR. Lot size (MLS sales data, not an official source): the median lot size of detached houses sold between July 1 and October 8, 2026 was 7,013 sq ft, based on 11 sales with a recorded lot size.
