Surrey Real Estate: Homes for Sale and Home Selling

A big city made of distinct communities

Surrey is British Columbia's second-largest city, running from the Fraser River down to the US border. It is really six communities in one: Whalley and City Centre, Guildford, Fleetwood, Newton, Cloverdale and South Surrey, each with its own shopping, parks and recreation centres.

City Centre is growing into a true downtown, with City Hall, the City Centre Library, SFU, KPU and Holland Park close to SkyTrain. Guildford has one of the province's largest shopping centres, Newton is the most populous community, and big green spaces such as Green Timbers Urban Forest and Tynehead Regional Park are never far away.

Towers, townhomes and acreage in one city

Surrey offers a wide range of homes. City Centre has most of the high-rise condos, many within walking distance of SkyTrain. Guildford, Fleetwood and Newton are largely established neighbourhoods of detached homes, many with suites, mixed with townhome complexes. Newer townhomes and family homes fill Clayton and Grandview Heights, while parts of Cloverdale and South Surrey still have acreage and farm properties. That means you can often move up without leaving the city.

Prices and how quickly homes sell change through the year. Ask us for the latest Fraser Valley Real Estate Board figures for the type of home you have in mind.
