Picture this: you step out of your front door at The Foothills Lantzville and find yourself surrounded by 1,100 acres of protected parkland. Forest trails beckon you for morning walks, peaceful parks offer the perfect spot for afternoon reading, and breathtaking viewpoints reveal stunning vistas of both mountains and ocean.

What Makes The Foothills Special?
Designed with real life in mind, this walkable community connects through charming neighborhood hubs that will eventually link to the future Village at the Foothills – imagine cafes where you know the barista’s name, restaurants perfect for date night, and all those daily services that make life easier.
Whether you’re dreaming of a cozy single-family home, a modern townhome, or want to build your dream house on a custom luxury lot, The Foothills lets you choose a living space that actually fits your lifestyle. Every home feels like it belongs in the landscape, not just dropped onto it.
This is genuinely a place where life and nature dance together, with sustainability woven into every decision so your daily choices support rather than strain the environment.
