Revelstoke Real Estate and Community Vibe

Recent studies have shown that people living in small communities with abundant exposure to amazing outdoor environments to have significantly lower resting heart rates than individuals from large metropolitan centres. They are in less of a hurry and on average, are often kinder in their interactions with strangers in their daily encounters. Conversations seem to take longer and lineups, when they seldom occur, are friendly places. They may even live longer and get sick less often. Certainly if one weighs out the correlation between stress and disease then notes the obvious lesser amounts of stress in small towns, thus, naturally less disease.

What’s the cause of the change in societal pulse in a small town and how does that play out in a part time resort town like Revelstoke? Well, there’s less traffic lights, maybe two in total. Lineup are typical of only places of excitement pending, a deep dump the night prior and a morning gondola line up, or maybe an amazing breakfast spot, or the post office at Christmas time! Overall there is less wasted time, in traffic, at stores, doctors and even the government offices. So people have more time, to smell the roses and really talk to people, to be present in the moment with nature. Being around nature helps instil that appreciation to be present even more. Then there is the accountability to your neighbors factor, because besides your personal conscious, you will run into someone you interact with again. It becomes habit to treat everyone you can in a way that you would like to be treated.

Not to slam cities as there is lots of great things there, including art, architecture and culture but its interesting how the culture part in terms of how civilization interacts with each other, is so much more civilized in the small town. In Revelstoke, its magic when combined with the abundant alpine environment that makes the inhabitants all equally rich just for being there. There’s also a certain element to Revelstoke of it being a bit more difficult to get to than some places, with no major airport and it being an international beacon of some of the best ski and bike stoke there is. So come visit Revelstoke and if you can, stay. It will make you a better person and maybe even extend your life!
