About McKee
McKee is one of Abbotsford’s adopted neighbourhood planning areas.
- When considering a hillside setting, the useful questions move beyond the view to access, grading, drainage and the way the site supports the home.
What to check on a visit
Walk the driveway and outdoor areas where access is permitted.
- Notice retaining structures, steps and where water appears to travel.
- Ask your inspector which observations need a specialist’s attention and what records would help resolve them.
Questions to ask before buying
A view-oriented layout may involve stairs or a different relationship between indoor and outdoor space.
- Test it against grocery trips, visitors and long-term accessibility.
- Confirm nearby land-use plans without assuming that a present view will remain unchanged.
