Register now for your new home at Braxton: nature-inspired rentals with outdoor amenities that nurture balance, connection and well-being.
In a world that feels increasingly busy and overstimulated, where we live should offer more than four walls and a Wi-Fi connection. That’s the guiding philosophy behind Braxton – Chilliwack’s newest purpose-built rental community, designed by a team that believes home should be a source of balance, peace and genuine well-being.
"We care deeply about where and how people live,” says Carrie Dyck, Director at Ratzlaff & Co., the company behind Braxton. “Our goal is to create more than just apartments – we want to offer a haven, a place where tenants feel safe, supported and connected to both their neighbours and the natural world around them.”
Located in a quiet, established Chilliwack neighbourhood, Braxton sets itself apart from urban developments surrounded by traffic and retail noise. This calm community-focused location reflects the “live fully, live in balance” philosophy behind every design choice.
That philosophy comes to life in Braxton’s signature amenity, the Backyard Lounge – a thoughtfully designed outdoor gathering space unlike anything else in the area. Anchored by a covered BBQ Pavillion with comfortable lounge seating, the area also includes picnic tables, benches, a grassy lawn, a play mat zone for kids and a row of sun loungers on the south-facing side. It's designed to accommodate multiple groups, in a relaxed park-like setting for connection, solitude or celebration.
“Most people love the idea of spending more time outdoors," Dyck says, “but the reality is not everyone has the time or energy to head to a park or trail after work, so we have brought that outdoor experience home.”
Usable from March through October thanks to its covered spaces and flexible layout, the lounge becomes an extension of home where residents can unwind, dine, read or host friends in a setting that promotes balance and wellness, rain or shine.
For those who enjoy more active outdoor pursuits, Braxton’s location offers easy access to Chilliwack’s best destinations, including Little Mountain Park, Cultus Lake and Meadowlands Golf & Country Club. The Vedder River is just a short drive away for shoreline walks and world-class fishing and camping. With dedicated bike storage on-site, the community also caters to recreational cyclists and mountain bikers who frequently ride home from Mountain Trails.
The team takes just as much pride in offering peace of mind. With thoughtful design quality construction and professional management, Braxton is built to feel like a true home, not a stopover.
“We are incredibly intentional in everything we do,” Dyck says. “From the neighbourhood we chose to the amenities we prioritized, Braxton was designed to support a lifestyle that's grounded, balanced and connected to nature.”
