Guildford condos are strata apartments east of Surrey City Centre, and the City's Guildford Plan sets out where new buildings can go around Guildford Centre and the Hawthorne and Headwaters districts. Many buildings are a short walk from the R1 RapidBus on 104 Avenue, which links Guildford to Surrey Central Station. For schools, parks and more on the plan, start with my Guildford neighbourhood guide.

For condo buyers looking at Guildford, I check the strata records and the building's location with you before you firm up an offer. I've been a REALTOR® since 2015 and a member of the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board's Medallion Club for 10 straight years, which puts me in the top 1% of all Realtors in the Fraser Valley by FVREB sales. I'm #1 in South Surrey/White Rock by MLS points for 2025 and 2026 year to date, with more than $500M in sales.
Guildford is one of the eight sub-areas of North Surrey in Paragon, the MLS® system local REALTORS® use. This feed is set to apartment-style condos in Guildford only, so townhomes and houses are left out.
Guildford lies east of City Centre and west of Fraser Heights. Its centre is Guildford Exchange, with Guildford Town Centre, the Guildford Recreation Centre and Guildford Library close by. Most of the neighbourhood's apartment buildings are within a few blocks of that hub, so shops and a bus are often a short walk away.
Away from the core, the streets turn mostly to townhome complexes and detached houses. If you'd like to compare those too, my Guildford homes for sale page shows every home type in the sub-area.
Council has approved the Guildford Plan, the City of Surrey's strategy to guide growth in this part of North Surrey over the coming decades. It covers Guildford Centre, the Hawthorne District and the Headwaters District, from 140 Street east to the Highway 1 interchange at 160 Street.
For a condo buyer, the plan is part of due diligence. The land use map shows what could be built on the lots around a building, so you can see whether a vacant lot or low-rise block next door is designated for something taller. The City also describes the plan as one strategy that ties together land use, transportation, parks, community amenities and infrastructure, and says it continues to guide where public amenities and infrastructure go. That makes it a useful place to look for planned parks, amenities and transportation work near a building you like.
Guildford doesn't have its own SkyTrain station. Instead, the R1 King George Blvd RapidBus starts at Guildford Exchange and runs west along 104 Avenue to Surrey Central Station, then south past King George Station to Newton Exchange.
If being steps from a station matters more than space, my Whalley condos for sale page shows buildings near the three Expo Line stations. To see both areas side by side, try my North Surrey condos for sale page.
Buying a condo means buying a strata lot plus a share of the building's common property. The strata corporation, run by an elected council, looks after that shared property and enforces the bylaws.
Under BC's Strata Property Act, the strata corporation must give you a Form B within 7 days of a request. It lists the strata fee, approved special levies and the contingency reserve fund balance.
A depreciation report looks at the roof, envelope, elevators, parkade and other common assets and estimates what they will cost to repair and replace over 30 years. In BC, stratas with five or more lots must get one on a five-year cycle.
Working to a set budget? My Surrey condos under $800K page shows condos across the city within that price range.
Guildford has a mix of older and newer strata buildings, so I read each one's records on their own terms. In an older building, I check the depreciation report for the big items it expects soon, such as the roof, windows or elevators, and compare that plan with the contingency reserve fund on the Form B. If the two don't line up, I help you ask the strata how the work will be paid for.
I also work out your commute from the building's nearest R1 stop on 104 Avenue to Surrey Central Station, and check the Guildford Plan map for the lots around it. Then I write subjects that give you time to finish this review.
1. Where are most Guildford condos? Most apartment buildings in Guildford sit near Guildford Exchange, Guildford Town Centre and the 104 Avenue corridor. Quieter streets further out are mostly townhomes and houses.
2. How do I get from Guildford to SkyTrain? The R1 King George Blvd RapidBus leaves Guildford Exchange and runs along 104 Avenue to Surrey Central Station, then on to King George Station and Newton Exchange.
3. Is Guildford part of Surrey City Centre? No. Guildford is its own sub-area of North Surrey in Paragon, east of Whalley. The City of Surrey guides growth there through the Guildford Plan.
4. What should I read before I buy a Guildford condo? Ask for the Form B and its attachments, the bylaws, the rules and recent council and AGM minutes. Read them before you remove subjects.
5. What does the Form B tell me? The Form B: Information Certificate lists the monthly strata fee, any amount the seller owes the strata, approved special levies and the contingency reserve fund balance.
6. Why does the depreciation report matter? It estimates what the building's common property will cost to repair and replace over 30 years, which helps you judge whether future levies are likely.
7. Does this page show townhomes or houses? No. It shows apartment-style condos in Guildford only. For every home type in the neighbourhood, see my Guildford homes for sale page.
