 The Village of Kettle Valley is designed as a Neotraditional or New Urban community modeled on the principles of a traditional small town. The community master plan creates an experience of place often missing in today's conventional suburban communities as it provides for the diversity of activities involved in daily living through a series of integrated, mixed-use neighbourhoods. The resulting pedestrian-friendly village radiates from an active social heart through a network of connected streets, laneways, open spaces and parks.
Construction at the Village of Kettle Valley follows strict development guidelines to ensure buildings are complementary in architectural character that is both sensitive to the appearance of the overall community and the surrounding landscape. This architectural style palette is defined by the application of traditional North American residential styles reminiscent of the streetscapes of the early 1900's, such as Colonial, Victorian and Craftsman.
The neo-traditional design of the community employs "smart growth" concepts that make appropriate use of the developable land so that its unique landscape features, ecology and habitat are preserved. The village design relies heavily on natural and landscaped green spaces that encourage residents to walk, socialize and engage in outdoor activity and community events.
In 2004, the National Home Builders Association honored Kettle Valley with the coveted SAM award for "Best Community Development" in Canada. Established in 1996, the Village will encompass 270 acres of land occupied by 900 single-family homes, 80 townhomes and a potential 25,000 ft of commercial space when complete.
