Ask anyone who has done it and they’ll tell you: owning real estate in Whistler is unlike owning real estate anywhere else. Nestled in secluded mountain scenery but within easy reach of Vancouver, Whistler is a unique community that offers urban sophistication alongside picturesque mountain living. Here are some of the reasons why Whistler is a hub for savvy real estate investors from across the globe.
No Boring Season
Because Whistler Blackcomb is consistently ranked North America’s best ski resort, many people think of Whistler as purely a winter destination, but actually Whistler is considered one of the top four-season resort towns in North America and does not have an “off season.” Originally a winter sports town, Whistler has evolved and is now praised for its attractions for every season, including mountain biking, golf, skiing and snowboarding, arts and culture, gondola sightseeing, road cycling, paddle boarding, trail running, hiking, swimming,and much more.
More Than a Tourist Town
Whistler has a vibrant community that is not just made up of tourists, as many people assume. Because of Whistler’s accessibility, amenities, and four-season attractions, the majority of people in Whistler are those who have chosen it as their long-term home. Whistler’s residents have fostered an established community that proudly boasts a killer arts scene, many resources for families, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.
Sophisticated Mountain Living
Most of the time when people opt for secluded mountain living, they accept the trade-off of giving up some of the niceties of city life. There is no trade-off in Whistler. With easy access to Vancouver, everything the city has to offer is just a short drive away. Not only that, Whistler itself has many sophisticated amenities you won’t find in other small towns, including fine dining and luxury bars as well as community centres, schools, and everything required to build the life you want while getting a reprieve from the chaos of city living.
Architectural Excellence
Whistler’s beautiful landscape, unique location, and vibrant culture attracts discerning people and the local real estate reflects that. Whistler is home to many luxury houses and condos designed by innovative architects whose creations meld the grandeur of the natural landscape with modern high-end living.
