COMMUNITY STRUCTURE

Sun Rivers is served by the CSROA (Community of Sun Rivers Owners Association),designed to meet the needs of the community over the long term. Common interests of the residents are addressed through a community association and representative neighbourhood associations. www.mysunrivers.com

The CSROA Board of Directors administers the Community guidelines and manages the common interests, lands and amenities for the benefit of residents. Every neighbourhood at Sun Rivers has architectural design guidelines to ensure investor certainty and enduring value over time.

Similar to a strata-title development all owners pay a community common area maintenance fee which provides for the resort level of maintenance and community amenities such as the entrance landscape and water feature, paths, street lighting, community decorations etc.

Each Neighbourhood Association is represented at the Community level (CSROA) by the Neighbourhood President. The Board of Directors for each neighbourhood administer their neighbourhood guidelines and manage the common interests within their neighbourhood. Residents in adult communities and townhome neighbourhoods pay additional costs for their neighbourhood fees as they typically have more common areas and services within their neighbourhood. These fees may include individual property landscaping, neighbourhood landscaping, shared exterior and roof maintenance such as in townhomes, and other convenience and lifestyle services that may be specific to their neighbourhood.

THE LEASE

In 1995 the Tk’emlups First Nation made an important economic development decision and voted by a landslide margin of 74% to sell the leasehold interest in the site now known as Sun Rivers. This provided for a portion of its reserve land to be reverted back to the federal government to be held jointly with the First Nation for leasing. Today this prime parcel of real estate overlooking the City of Kamloops and South Thompson River has become Sun Rivers, one of Canada’s most innovative resort communities. Experts consider this lease agreement to be one of the most comprehensive and secure ever established.

Sun Rivers holds the 99-year head lease and the head landlord is ‘His Majesty the King in right of Canada’ (the Crown). The lease has been structured to most fully protect the investments of the homeowners, the investors, the lenders and Sun Rivers. Purchasers secure their interest through the purchase of a registered leasehold title which secures their interest for the term of the lease in accordance with the rights and obligations outlined in the lease.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

The Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc First Nation is the local government and like any municipality collects property taxes and provides and arranges for services to the community. Services include 911, fire protection, police protection, library access, schools and busing, paramedic and ambulance service, hospitals and public health and recreation in the City of Kamloops.

Services are provided through the First Nation and a number of servicing arrangements with service providers such as the City of Kamloops and Corix Multi-Utility Services.

Property taxes are paid to the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation. The precedent-setting Head Lease, Sub-Lease and Master Development and Servicing Agreement clearly sets out the process by which taxes for services are levied. Sun Rivers’ residents pay property tax rates that are reasonably comparable to the City of Kamloops rates. The rate setting is based on assessed values determined by the BC Assessment Authority. Sun Rivers residents are eligible to apply for Homeowner grants.

Sun Rivers is outside the City of Kamloops boundaries but within the boundaries of the TNRD (Thompson Nicola Regional District). Sun Rivers residents may vote in the TNRD elections.

Why Choose a Townhome Over a Condo or Detached Home in Kamloops?

February 25th 2025

When it comes to finding your dream home in Kamloops, the choice between a townhome, a condo, or a detached house can feel overwhelming. Each option offers its own benefits, but for many homebuyers, townhomes strike the perfect balance between convenience, space, and lifestyle. At Ladera Townhomes, we’re proud to offer thoughtfully designed, brand-new townhomes that are currently under construction and being completed in carefully planned phases. If you’re still weighing your options, let us show you why a townhome could be the ideal choice for your next home.

1. The Space You Need Without the Maintenance You Don’t

Townhomes provide the perfect blend of spacious living and low-maintenance ownership. Unlike a condo, where you’re often limited by smaller square footage and shared walls and parking with multiple neighbours, townhomes offer more privacy, multi-level layouts, and the feel of a traditional home. At the same time, you don’t have to worry about the time-consuming yard work or exterior maintenance that typically comes with a detached house. Ladera Townhomes make life simple: the exterior care is handled for you, leaving you free to enjoy your new home and the Kamloops lifestyle.

2. Affordability Without Sacrificing Quality

One of the biggest advantages of choosing a townhome is affordability. Detached homes in Kamloops can come with a hefty price tag, especially in sought-after neighbourhoods. Townhomes, however, offer a more accessible price point while still delivering the quality and features you’d expect from a modern home. At Ladera, every townhome is built with exceptional craftsmanship and thoughtful details that ensure you’re getting outstanding value for your investment.
Plus, because our homes are being constructed in phases, you have the opportunity to secure your spot in one of Kamloops’ most exciting new communities at a great price before the development is fully completed.

3. Designed for Modern Living

Townhomes are often designed with today’s lifestyles in mind. Ladera Townhomes feature open-concept layouts, spacious kitchens, and energy-efficient appliances, making them ideal for families, professionals, and anyone looking for a home that fits seamlessly into their daily routine. Whether you’re hosting friends for a dinner party or simply relaxing in your cozy living room, you’ll have all the modern comforts you need.
Another bonus? A townhome at Ladera includes generous-sized attached garages, giving you secure, convenient parking—something that’s hard to come by in many condo developments. And with Ladera’s designs, you can enjoy all of this while surrounded by Kamloops’ stunning natural beauty.

4. A Strong Sense of Community

Living in a townhome community like Ladera brings a sense of connection that’s hard to replicate. Unlike detached homes, where neighbours can feel distant, or condos, where shared spaces can feel impersonal, townhomes offer a happy medium. You’ll have your own private space while still enjoying the benefits of a close-knit community.
At Ladera, we’ve put thought into creating a welcoming neighbourhood atmosphere. With well-planned layouts and shared green spaces, our development is designed to foster a sense of belonging. It’s the kind of place where you’ll feel comfortable waving to your neighbours and making new friends.

5. Location, Location, Location

Another advantage of choosing a townhome is the ability to live in a desirable location without the steep costs of a detached home. Ladera Townhomes are situated in the beautiful Sun Rivers community, offering easy access to everything Kamloops has to offer. From scenic hiking trails and golf courses, to schools, shopping, and dining, you’ll be in the heart of it all.
Living at Ladera also means you’re part of a master-planned community, designed with care to ensure convenience and harmony with the surrounding environment. It’s the perfect blend of city living and natural beauty.
