East Newton 55+ Homes for Sale

55+ co-op and membership housing in East Newton (not strata)

Sullivan Mews — 15020 66A Ave

MLS listings place this complex in the East Newton sub-area and describe a retirement community with a 55+ age restriction, a maximum of 2 occupants, no smoking and 1 small pet. It is not a strata: the listing states "This is not Strata. It is a membership therefore not mortgages possible" and that a purchase must be cash, with a monthly fee ($540 in the listing) covering taxes, heat, electricity, management, insurance and water. Do not market this as a strata condo or townhouse — the buyer purchases a membership, not a strata lot. Listing-stated figures — confirm against the membership documents before relying on them.

Streets, schools and getting around East Newton

• East Newton is the Newton community land east of King George Boulevard, in the City of Surrey; the City's East Newton plan material is bounded by King George Highway to the west, 76 Avenue to the south, 152 Street to the east and Newton Athletic Park to the north.
• King George Boulevard is the dividing street: West Newton is across it to the west, Panorama Ridge / Sullivan is south, and Fleetwood Tynehead is northeast.
• The local pocket name inside East Newton is Chimney Hill, carried by Chimney Hill Elementary and Chimney Heights Park.
• SD36 schools in the area: Chimney Hill Elementary, 14755 74 Ave; M.B.
• Newton Athletic Park, 7395 128 St, sits at the north edge of the plan area; the Newton Recreation Centre and Newton branch of Surrey Libraries are at the 13795 70 Ave town-centre site, west of King George Boulevard.
• Transit: the R1 RapidBus runs on King George Boulevard between Newton Exchange and King George Station via Surrey Central Station; route 321 runs via 152 St and King George Blvd; route 324 runs via 132 St. No SkyTrain station is inside East Newton.
• Health care: Surrey Memorial Hospital, 13750 96 Ave; Surrey-Newton Urgent and Primary Care Centre, 6830 King George Blvd.
• Where the 55+ housing actually concentrates: one cluster on 70 Avenue just east of King George Boulevard (Chelsea Gardens at 13870 / 13888 70 Ave, Arbourside Court at 13751 74 Ave), one gated townhouse complex on 138 Street south of 66 Avenue (Charleston Green, 6537 138 St), and one membership complex at 15020 66A Ave (Sullivan Mews).

Good to know about East Newton

• Chelsea Gardens is two addresses and two housing forms under one name. Apartment condos sit at 13870 70 Ave and ground-level townhouse-style homes at 13888 70 Ave, in one gated LMS1416 community — a buyer comparing two Chelsea Gardens listings may be comparing different building forms and fee schedules, not just different units.
• The "55+" label on the King George Boulevard manufactured-home parks near East Newton does not hold up. Crispen Bays (7790 King George Blvd) and Crestway Bays (8220 King George Blvd) are listed by a park directory as all-ages, and Crestway listings call the park family-oriented — a buyer who assumes every Newton park is seniors-only will be wrong on these two.
• Sullivan Mews' monthly fee is not a strata fee. Its listing states the $540 monthly amount covers taxes, heat, electricity, management, insurance and water because the purchase is a membership — comparing that figure line-by-line against a strata fee at Chelsea Gardens misleads. Listing-stated — confirm current amounts in the membership documents.
• The retirement residence on 74 Avenue runs on a 65+ basis, not 55+. Building sources describe Arbourside Court as geared to adults 65 and older — a 58-year-old downsizer who qualifies for the strata complexes does not automatically qualify there.
• The old East Newton plans are partly dead documents. The City states East Newton North was rescinded and East Newton South's designations were superseded by the Surrey 2050 OCP update — a seller quoting an old NCP density for a lot near these complexes is quoting a superseded plan.
• Surrey's 2025 Tenant Protection Bylaw does not cover manufactured-home parks. Bylaw No. 21788, adopted for rental-building redevelopment, expressly does not apply to property governed by the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act — park residents' protection is the provincial 12-month notice and $20,000 compensation framework plus the City's Manufactured Home Park Policy.
