Glen Valley and County Line, Langley: Real Estate Guide

Open fields running down to the Fraser

Glen Valley is the rural north-east corner of the Township of Langley, with the Fraser River to the north and Abbotsford to the east. Local listings group it with County Line, under the name County Line Glen Valley.

It has been a farming district since the earliest settlers worked its rich river soil, and farming still sets the pace. Days here are about open fields, quiet roads and river views. For shopping and dining, residents head to Aldergrove or Fort Langley, both a short drive away.

Acreages, working farms and estate homes

Properties here are mostly acreages and working farms, from berry and cranberry fields to horse properties with barns and arenas, along with some large estate homes on big parcels.

Most land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, and many homes rely on private wells and septic, so zoning, farm status and water quality all deserve careful checking before you buy. Ask us for the latest Fraser Valley Real Estate Board figures for the kind of property you have in mind.
