KOOTENAY LIVING
TRAIL - ROSSLAND - FRUITVALE - MONTROSE - CHRISTINA LAKE - GRAND FORKS - CASTLEGAR
🌲 Life in the West Kootenays
The West Kootenays are filled with hidden gems — from Trail, Rossland, Montrose, Warfield, and Castlegar, to Boundary communities like Grand Forks and Christina Lake. Each area offers its own blend of mountain views, lake life, and strong community spirit.
Located in BC’s southeastern interior, this region is known for its outdoor lifestyle, welcoming towns, and everyday comforts like great coffee shops, local restaurants, breweries, and boutique shopping. With endless opportunities for hiking, biking, skiing, and exploring, it’s a place where nature and community come together.
Whether you’re drawn to waterfront living, mountain towns, or quiet family neighbourhoods, there’s a corner of the West Kootenays that feels like home — and I’m here to help you find it.
🌲TRAIL
Trail has been home for me for the last 11 years, and I truly believe it offers one of the best blends of community, convenience, and outdoor access in the West Kootenays.
Nestled between the Selkirk and Monashee Mountains and along the Columbia River, Trail is surrounded by incredible hiking, biking, and skiing terrain - including easy access to Red Mountain for winter days and endless trails in the warmer months.
With its terraced neighbourhoods, riverfront homes, walkable downtown, and strong local economy, Trail offers a wide range of housing options!
Work hard, play hard, and feel connected to your community.
🌊 CHRISTINA LAKE
Christina Lake is pure summer magic - and one of my favourite places to unwind.
Known as one of Canada’s warmest tree-lined lakes, it offers stunning waterfront properties, sandy beaches, and a relaxed, vacation-style lifestyle. Whether you’re into boating, paddleboarding, golfing, or simply soaking up lake life, this area is hard to beat.
For many, Christina Lake is the perfect second home. For others, it becomes a full-time escape. Either way, it’s a place that feels like a permanent getaway.
🌄 CASTLEGAR
Castlegar is where I grew up, graduated from Stanley Humphries, and it will always feel like home.
Located at the meeting point of the Columbia and Kootenay Rivers, and surrounded by mountain landscapes, Castlegar is a regional hub with strong amenities, great schools, and easy access to outdoor adventure.
From riverside walks and biking at Merry Creek, this is a community that supports an active lifestyle. It’s ideal for families, professionals, and anyone who wants the convenience of a larger centre without losing that small-town feel.
💎 WARFIELD
Warfield is one of the hidden gems of the Kootenays.
Tucked at the base of the Rossland hill, it offers stunning mountain views, character homes, and immediate access to outdoor recreation. Whether you’re heading up to ski, hike, or bike, adventure is literally right outside your door.
With its strong community pride and small-village charm, Warfield is perfect for those who want close proximity to Trail and Rossland — without sacrificing quiet living.
⛷️ ROSSLAND
Rossland is a true mountain town! And one of the most special places in the region.
Just a short drive from Trail, it’s home to world-class skiing at Red Mountain, incredible ski touring terrain and the new Mountain Bike Park! Great hiking and biking trails in the Kootenays. If you love being outdoors year-round, Rossland delivers.
With its historic charm, vibrant downtown, and strong sense of community, Rossland offers a unique mix of adventure and small-town living. Add in amazing restaurants, cozy cafés, and a creative local culture, and it’s easy to see why so many people fall in love with this place.
🌻 GRAND FORKS
Grand Forks is especially close to my heart - it’s where I was born and visit my family frequently!
This welcoming community is known for its tree-lined streets, heritage homes, and relaxed pace of life. Market Avenue anchors the downtown core with cafés, shops, galleries, and local businesses that give the town its character.
With four-season recreation, beautiful surrounding farmland, and a rich cultural history rooted in the Doukhobor community, Grand Forks offers a wonderful balance of tradition, affordability, and lifestyle.
If you’re looking for space, community, and a slower pace, this might be your place.
🌿 FRUITVALE
Fruitvale sits in the heart of the Beaver Valley and offers peaceful, community-focused living just 16 minutes from Trail.

It’s a popular choice for families and buyers who want a quieter lifestyle while staying connected to nearby cities where you'll find more rural farm like homes and properties.
