Edgewood Estates

Luxury Homes

Edgewood Estates is located on the eastern side of Comox, in a quiet cul de sac. These luxury homes have been custom-built by Ballard Fine Homes. High-end, beautiful homes with perfectly manicured lawns set the stage for this neighbourhood. The exclusive, nine-lot subdivision is near Lazo Beach, good schools, Balmoral Beach, Northeast Woods, and almost everything else you’d need within Comox.
Foxxwood Heights

Family Friendly

Foxxwood Heights is one of the best neighbourhoods for families, as it is located near a high school (Highland Secondary). Most homes were built in the 80s and 90s, with some newer developments mixed in. Many homes are split-level, many with double garages.
Highridge

Ranchers & Unique Homes

Highridge includes Highridge Court and Eastridge Court. It is located north of Highlands Secondary and contains mostly rancher and two-storey homes. Several of these homes have been custom built, so there tends to be more variety of styles whithin Highridge compared to other subdivisions.
Lancaster Heights

For Airplane Lovers

Airplane enthusiasts love Lancaster Heights, as each street is named after an airplane. Others enjoy the convenient location and abundance of rancher homes mainly in the craftsman style. Nearby elementary schools, grocery stores, and other retail shops make this neighbourhood desirable for families.

Client Reviews

We put our clients first and treat them like family. View our testimonials on our main website to experience the Ballard Fine Homes difference.

We purchased our first Ballard home in 2020 and we’re thrilled with the high quality of the home, turn-key and the professionalism of Don Ballard and his staff. In 2021 we decided to move and build our forever home. There was no question who we wanted to built this home, and that was of course Ballard Fine Homes. We were involved in every aspect from design start to completion. We would highly recommend Don Ballard and his team. Thank you Don, for our beautiful home!

My wife and I visited the Ballard show home a few months ago and I can’t say enough about Ballard Fine Homes. We are looking to build a home and we have spoken and toured many show homes and Ballard by far has the nicest product and service team in my opinion. This will be our third house and we want it to be the final one and they have really bent over backwards to help us achieve that. We were recommended by friends and we can’t thank them enough.
