Ryder Lake, Chilliwack: Neighbourhood Guide

Neighbourhood guide · City of Chilliwack · Ryder Lake

Living in Ryder Lake

Ryder Lake is an MLS® sub-area name in the City of Chilliwack. The City doesn’t publish a boundary for it, and Published municipal records list no street-by-street boundary in official sources. The closest official descriptions are the City’s Greenspace Plan 2020, which lists Ryder Lake as numbered neighbourhood 47, and the City’s Mount Thom Park page, which places three of the park’s parking areas in Ryder Lake: Forester Road and Churchill Parkway, and Ross Road. The 2040 Official Community Plan treated Ryder Lake as an upland area held as a medium-to-long-term development reserve. See all Chilliwack neighbourhood guides.

I grew up on a farm in Langley and I'm back living here now. Facts come from the official sources noted on this page. Rules and boundaries change, so confirm anything important with the City of Chilliwack, the FVRD, and School District 33.

Homes and land

What to look at in a Ryder Lake home

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

Official

2040 Official Community PlanRural estate density

Policy
The 2040 plan directed the City to maintain Ryder Lake’s current rural estate density and limit small-acreage rural and suburban residential development to the current zoning designations, discouraging rezoning to higher density
Agriculture
The same policy supports appropriate agricultural activities on ALR parcels in Ryder Lake
Home types
Published municipal records do not list a separate statement of typical home types beyond the rural estate description
2040 Official Community Plan
MLS® data

Median lotDetached lot size

Median
Lot size (FVREB MLS® recorded sales data): the median lot size of detached houses sold in recent 2026 MLS® activity was 950,107 sq ft (about 21.8 acres), based on 2 sales with a recorded lot size.
Note
Only 2 sales, so treat this as a small sample
Size band
In my size bands, acreage is 1 to 10 acres and a farm is 10 acres or more. About 21.8 acres is in the farm band, but size alone doesn’t say whether a property is farmed or in the ALR.
Buyers

Rural homesHomes on larger parcels

Look at
Whether the parcel is in the ALR, the zone, the services to the home and drainage
Ask
What farm use and building rules apply to the exact parcel
Watch for

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

Planning, zoning and flood

Planning and flood notes for Ryder Lake

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

  • The City of Chilliwack’s 2050 Official Community Plan, Official Community Plan Bylaw 2025, No. 5500, was adopted on December 16, 2025. It covers the whole city, including Ryder Lake.
  • Published municipal directories do not list a Ryder Lake neighbourhood plan separate from the Official Community Plan. Under the Chilliwack 2050 Official Community Plan, so verify parcel-level designation on the City of Chilliwack Webmap.
  • The 2040 plan’s policy was to maintain Ryder Lake as a medium to long term development reserve, keeping its rural estate density and preserving the upland area for development consideration beyond 2040.
  • The 2040 plan also called for limiting small-acreage rural and suburban residential development to the current zoning and discouraging rezoning for higher density. That plan has been replaced by the 2050 plan.
  • Hillside: Ryder Lake is one of the designated hillside and upland areas under Development Permit Area 2. A DPA2 permit is required before subdivision, construction, land clearing or earthworks.
  • The DPA2 guide says its objectives include reducing slope hazards, erosion and flooding, and making sure development responds to natural terrain and drainage patterns.
  • A DPA2 application needs a geotechnical report by a registered geotechnical engineer, with a hazard and slope assessment, setbacks, cut and fill, site stability, drainage and soil conditions. An environmental assessment and a hydrology report may also be required.
  • ALR: the 2040 policy supports agricultural activities on ALR parcels in Ryder Lake. ALR status is set parcel by parcel.
  • Flood: Published municipal directories do not list a flood document specific to Ryder Lake. The City’s Floodplain Regulation Bylaw No. 4519 applies to the floodplains the City designates, and Confirm on the municipal webmap whether any Ryder Lake parcel is inside one.

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 Ryder Lake

  1. Check the slope and the permit. Ask the City whether the lot needs a hillside development permit and a geotechnical report before you plan any building or clearing.
  2. Check the ALR. Look up the exact parcel on the Agricultural Land Commission map before you plan anything beyond the home.
  3. Ask about water, septic and access. Confirm how the property is served and reached, including the road, before you count on a suite or an addition.
  4. Ask about drainage and runoff. Ask the City what the hillside rules mean for water on the exact parcel.
  5. Confirm the school catchment. There is no school in Ryder Lake, so use the SD33 School Locator for the exact address.
  6. Get a full home inspection. Check the roof, drainage, septic system, plumbing and wiring.

Ryder Lake questions

Where is Ryder Lake?

The City doesn’t publish a boundary for Ryder Lake, and Published municipal records list no street-by-street boundary in official sources.

What plan covers Ryder Lake?

The 2050 Official Community Plan covers the whole city, including Ryder Lake. There is no separate Ryder Lake neighbourhood plan. The 2040 plan’s policy was to keep Ryder Lake as a medium to long term development reserve at its current rural estate density.

Is Ryder Lake a hillside or a floodplain area?

Ryder Lake is a designated hillside and upland area under Development Permit Area 2, so a DPA2 permit is required before subdivision, construction, land clearing or earthworks. Published municipal directories do not list a flood document specific to Ryder Lake. Ask me or the City about a specific lot.

Is any of Ryder Lake in the ALR, and what are the lots like?

The 2040 plan’s policy supports appropriate agricultural activities on ALR parcels in Ryder Lake. ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact address on the Agricultural Land Commission map. Lot size (FVREB MLS® recorded sales data): the median lot size of detached houses sold in recent 2026 MLS® activity was 950,107 sq ft (about 21.8 acres), based on 2 sales with a recorded lot size. That is only 2 sales. In my size bands, acreage is 1 to 10 acres and a farm is 10 acres or more. About 21.8 acres is in the farm band, but size alone doesn’t say whether a property is farmed or in the ALR.
