Located only one hour outside of Vancouver, Abbotsford benefits from better housing prices, less traffic, and greater access to outdoor recreation than the nearby metropolitan hub. Our temperate rain forest climate is perfect for those who love to be surrounded by nature and greenery all year long as it is rarely too hot in the summer or too cold in the winter. Bordered by mountains in the East and the ocean to the West, Abbotsford is perfectly situated to experience the best of both worlds.
