Quick answer

Over the last three years, houses sold for a median of $802,000, acreages $1,565,000, townhomes $569,000, condos $202,000 and manufactured homes $245,000.

Jared’s verdict: Kent suits buyers who want a small town with schools and recreation, and farmland nearby. The catch is that the Agassiz townsite sits on Fraser floodplain behind dikes and pumps.

In my words

Jared’s take on Kent

Who it suits: Buyers who want a small town with schools and recreation, and farmland nearby.
What I’d tell a friend: The catch is that the Agassiz townsite sits on Fraser floodplain behind dikes and pumps. Check the flood construction level and insurance before you make an offer.

What works and what doesn’t in Kent

What works

Everyday needs in Agassiz: schools from kindergarten to grade 12, the recreation and aquatic centre and the library. Jared
Harrison Hot Springs is next door. Jared

What doesn’t

Not much transit, and not a wide range of shops. Jared
Most major shopping means a drive to Chilliwack. Jared

Where condo stock concentrates: almost entirely in the Agassiz townsite (the MacKay Crescent / Heath Road / Morrow Road shelf), with the only out-of-townsite strata pocket at Mount Woodside (Harrison Highlands, off Highlands Boulevard / Woodside Boulevard). Freehold dominates District-wide; strata is mainly townhouse product in Agassiz/Mount Woodside.

This guide covers Kent's condo buildings, townhome complexes and land: what each source verifies, the local rules, and what buyers ask.

Kent real estate: your questions answered

Is "Kent" a place I can search for condos?

As a municipality, yes; as a board area name, no. "Kent" appears on no board list — the CADREB name for this land is Agassiz, and the MLS taxonomy carries the District under the Agassiz area. Searches, schools and daily life say Agassiz; taxes, bylaws, permits and the OCP say District of Kent.

Are there apartment condos in Kent at all?

The District's strata stock is townhouse product — in the Agassiz townsite and at Mount Woodside — plus detached and semi-detached homes. A buyer who needs a stacked low-rise apartment is looking at Chilliwack product, not Kent.

What is at Mount Woodside?

The District's designated newer growth area: Harrison Highlands, a master-planned community of single-family, semi-detached and townhouse housing by Odessa Group, including Harrison Ridge Townhomes (1928 Woodside Blvd, EPS7292) and Briarwood.

Can I rent out a Kent strata unit long-term?

Yes — strata rental-restriction bylaws have been void since November 24, 2022 anywhere in BC. A strata can still restrict short-term rentals.

I searched "Kent townhomes" — why does everything say Agassiz?

Because the market name and the legal name differ: Kent is the municipality (taxes, bylaws, permits, the OCP), Agassiz is the board/MLS name for the same area.

Is Harrison Ridge a 55+ building?

No known age bylaw exists for it. The District's known 55+ ownership count is zero.

Is Briarwood a townhouse complex?

On the fresh evidence, no: its current listing records Single Family Residence form with strata fees (built 2010) — detached-form homes inside a strata.

What am I actually buying when I buy an "acreage" in Kent?

There is no acreage subdivision product and no bare-land strata to buy instead.

What does the floodplain position mean for a flat-land parcel?

Budget for diking as a standing cost, not a surprise — it is a separate rate line on the tax notice (2026 Residential 0.03076 per $1,000 of taxable value; Farm 0.29356).

Which schools serve a Kent acreage?

Kent Elementary (K–6) and Agassiz Elementary-Secondary School (7–12) in Agassiz, SD78. Under SD78 Policy 7000, AESS takes all grade 7–12 students in the District of Kent and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs, plus the Chehalis-watershed-to-Ruby Creek strip along Highway 7; Kent Elementary takes K–6 students south of McCallum Road in the District, plus that same strip; Agassiz Centre for Education (alternate, 8–12) shares the AESS catchment.

Don't fold Harrison Hot Springs into this purchase, right?

Correct — it is a separate village municipality with its own taxes, OCP (Bylaw 1184, 2022) and market, even though Kent surrounds it.

Is there any half duplex for sale in Kent?

Semi-detached housing exists at community level at Harrison Highlands (Mount Woodside).

Is "Kent" what I search for?

No — Kent is the legal/municipal name; Agassiz is the market and board name. Searches, schools and daily life say Agassiz; taxes, bylaws, permits and the OCP say District of Kent.

Can a Kent single-dwelling lot take more units now?

Per the District's SSMUH guide as cited, the rules adopted June 10, 2024 allow up to four dwelling units on single-dwelling lots in the RS1 zone — confirm the lot's zone, flood status and ALR status before pricing on it.

Condo buildings in Kent

Kent is the municipality; Agassiz is the townsite inside it. District = SD78 Fraser-Cascade. Board ground is CADREB (Chilliwack and District) — "Kent" is on no board list; the board name for this land is Agassiz.

Streets, schools and transit near Kent condos

there is no "Kent" board area and no Kent row in any stats package. The District of Kent covers 19,374 hectares (the District's own stated total area; Statistics Canada's 2021 Census land area is 168.59 km² — a different measurement basis, not interchangeable), running from Harrison Mills in the west about 22 km northeast to Ruby Creek, taking in the Fraser Valley floodplain and the slopes around the lower end of Harrison Lake. Communities inside Kent: the Agassiz townsite (the main centre), Harrison Mills, Ruby Creek, Mount Woodside, and rural farm areas. The Village of Harrison Hot Springs is a separate municipality carved out of Kent.
Where condo stock concentrates: almost entirely in the Agassiz townsite (the MacKay Crescent / Heath Road / Morrow Road shelf), with the only out-of-townsite strata pocket at Mount Woodside (Harrison Highlands, off Highlands Boulevard / Woodside Boulevard). Freehold dominates District-wide; strata is mainly townhouse product in Agassiz/Mount Woodside.
Catchments per SD78 Policy 7000: AESS takes all grade 7–12 students in the District of Kent and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs, plus the Chehalis-watershed-to-Ruby Creek strip; Kent Elementary takes K–6 students south of McCallum Road in the District, plus the same strip.
Transit: BC Transit Route 71 (Chilliwack–Agassiz–Harrison Hot Springs) and Route 72 (Agassiz–Hope via Hwy 7), administered by the FVRD, with Agassiz as the in-District hub. Highway 7 runs the length of the District; Highway 9 connects Agassiz south over the Fraser to Chilliwack/Highway 1 and north to Harrison Hot Springs.

Local rules that affect condo buyers in Kent

District plans and zoning (District sources only): the plan is the District of Kent Official Community Plan 2025, which directs most growth into the Agassiz townsite with Mount Woodside as a satellite growth village; zoning is the District of Kent Zoning Bylaw No. 1219, 2001 (as amended), with OCP designations Agricultural, Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional, Parks/Recreation/Open Space and Resource Management. SSMUH: Bylaw No. 1737, adopted June 10, 2024, created the RS1 zone allowing up to four dwelling units on single-dwelling lots — and the District's own guide is explicit that there are no RS1 properties outside Agassiz and Harrison Highlands. Secondary suites are permitted in single-family homes in all residential zones.
Kent property taxes — municipality rules, not the rural regime: Kent is a municipality, so the Taxation (Rural Area) Act penalty regime for FVRD electoral areas (5% after July 2 + a further 5% after October 31) does not apply inside Kent. District of Kent tax notices are mailed in early June and due July 15 (or the next business day), rates set before May 15 each year. Diking is a separate assessment-based rate line: the 2026 Tax Rates Summary carries a dedicated "Dyking" column — 0.03076 per $1,000 of taxable value for Class 1 Residential (0.29356 for Class 9 Farm) — on top of a total municipal rate of 2.80493 (Residential) and an all-in Residential total of 4.65328 including Hospital, Regional District, MFA, BC Assessment and School Tax columns.
Flood, diking and ALR: Flood Protection & Erosion is OCP Section 5.5; the District's flat lands are Fraser/Harrison floodplain behind dikes, the District maintains 135 km of drainage ditches, and Mount Woodside's slope/geotechnical hazards sit in OCP Sections 5.2–5.3.
Manufactured-home parks (where parks are discussed): under the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act framework, annual pad-rent increases are capped at the rate of inflation plus a proportional amount for specified cost increases — 2.3% + proportional for 2026 and 2.2% + proportional for 2027. This applies to a park tenancy (e.g., the unlocated Continental Trailer Park entry above), never to strata ownership.

The District's recreation centrepiece opened in Agassiz in September 2026. The Lets'emot Regional Recreation and Aquatic Centre — a 27,000 sq ft expansion attached to the Community Recreation and Cultural Centre at 6660 Pioneer Ave, with an 8-lane lap pool, leisure pool with lazy river, whirlpool, steam room and sauna — had its grand opening September 25, 2026 per the District's September 9, 2026 council highlights, replacing the roughly 50-year-old seasonal Ferny Coombe Pool.
Two of the District's biggest land uses are federal prisons. Kent Institution (opened 1979, the only maximum-security facility in CSC's Pacific Region, rated capacity 378) and Mountain Institution (opened 1962, medium security, rated capacity 440) sit on shared Federal Reserve land near Agassiz.
The District has quantified its housing gap. Kent's Interim Housing Needs Report (2024), as presented in the OCP update, found 495 new homes needed immediately and 1,695 more by 2041 — against a 2021 Census base of about 6,300 residents and 2,518 total private dwellings (2,351 occupied). Growth is directed mainly to the Agassiz townsite and Mount Woodside.
The province paid to upgrade the pump station that protects the west side. A $4.17 million provincially funded expansion and upgrade of the Hammersley Pump Station, about 6 km west of Agassiz, conveys Mountain Slough watershed runoff and protects agricultural lands and the nearby federal correctional infrastructure — part of the flood system every flat-land Kent purchase depends on.
There are no board statistics for Kent. SnapStats' Fraser Valley report has no Kent or Agassiz row and CADREB publishes board-wide statistics only.

Townhome complexes in Kent

Streets, schools and transit near Kent townhomes

The District of Kent is a district municipality in the Fraser Valley Regional District on the north side of the Fraser River, covering 19,374 hectares (47,870 acres) of Fraser Valley floodplain and the slopes around the lower end of Harrison Lake, from Harrison Mills in the west about 22 km northeast to Ruby Creek. (The 19,374 ha is the District's stated total area; Statistics Canada's 2021 Census land area is 168.59 km² — a different measurement basis, not interchangeable.) Communities inside Kent: the Agassiz townsite (the main centre), Harrison Mills, Ruby Creek, Mount Woodside, and rural farm areas. The Village of Harrison Hot Springs is a separate municipality carved out of Kent.
Board ground: the District sits in CADREB (Chilliwack and District) territory; the board's name for this land is Agassiz — "Kent" appears on no board list, and the MLS taxonomy carries this land under the Agassiz area. CADREB publishes no area statistics and there is no SnapStats coverage — no Kent or Agassiz row exists in the SnapStats FVR September 2026 report.
Census (2021): the OCP reports a District population of approximately 6,300 residents, up 3.8% from 6,067 in 2016; the Census Profile counts 2,518 total private dwellings, of which 2,351 were occupied by usual residents (Statistics Canada, DGUID 2021A00055909032).
The two percentages use different denominators, so they are not comparable.
Freehold dominates District-wide; strata is mainly townhouse product in Agassiz/Mount Woodside.
Schools (SD78 Fraser-Cascade): Kent Elementary (K–6) and Agassiz Elementary-Secondary School (7–12), both in Agassiz; AESS also serves Harrison Hot Springs and the Sts'ailes, Seabird Island, Cheam and Scowlitz communities. Catchments per SD78 Policy 7000: AESS takes all grade 7–12 students in the District of Kent and the Village of Harrison Hot Springs, plus the Chehalis-watershed-to-Ruby Creek strip along Highway 7; Kent Elementary takes K–6 students south of McCallum Road in the District, plus the same strip.
Transit and roads: BC Transit Route 71 (Chilliwack–Agassiz–Harrison Hot Springs) and Route 72 (Agassiz–Hope via Hwy 7), administered by the FVRD, with Agassiz the in-District hub. Highway 7 (Lougheed) runs the length of the District; Highway 9 connects Agassiz south over the Fraser to Chilliwack/Highway 1 and north to Harrison Hot Springs.
Recreation: the District's Community Recreation and Cultural Centre (CRCC), 6660 Pioneer Avenue in Agassiz, is the recreation hub; its Lets'emot Regional Recreation and Aquatic Centre expansion (27,000 sq ft, 8-lane lap pool, leisure pool with lazy river) had its grand opening set for September 25, 2026 per the District's September 9, 2026 council highlights.
The OCP's land acknowledgement names the District as within the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Stó:lō people (S'ólh Téméxw).
Nearby areas: Harrison Hot Springs (enclave within Kent's geography, separate municipality), Chilliwack across the Fraser (Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge), Hope east on Hwy 7, Mission west on Hwy 7, Seabird Island Band and Sts'ailes adjoining.

Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Kent

District plan and zoning: the plan is the District of Kent Official Community Plan 2025, which directs most growth into the Agassiz townsite with Mount Woodside as a satellite growth village, under OCP designations Agricultural, Residential, Commercial, Industrial, Institutional, Parks/Recreation/Open Space and Resource Management; zoning is the District of Kent Zoning Bylaw No. 1219, 2001 (as amended). SSMUH: Bylaw No. 1737, adopted June 10, 2024, created the RS1 zone allowing up to four dwelling units on single-dwelling lots — and the District's own guide is explicit that there are no RS1 properties outside Agassiz and Harrison Highlands, so rural Kent lots do not get the four-unit option. Secondary suites are permitted in single-family homes in all residential zones. The District's Interim Housing Needs Report (2024) found 495 new homes needed immediately and 1,695 more by 2041.
Flood, dikes and drainage — the District's standing frame: the District's flat lands are Fraser/Harrison floodplain protected by dikes (Flood Protection & Erosion is OCP Section 5.5); the District maintains 135 km of drainage ditches and supports Fraser River gravel removal to reduce flood risk; the Province's Lower Mainland dike inventory covers Kent on map sheet 28 (dike infrastructure, pump stations and flood boxes regulated under the Dike Maintenance Act), and named works include the Hammersley Pump Station about 6 km west of Agassiz. Riparian and steep-slope/geotechnical hazards sit in OCP Sections 5.2–5.3 — the slope policies are the Mount Woodside diligence, the dike policies are the flat-townsite diligence.
District taxes — diking is its own line: tax notices are mailed in early June and are due July 15 (or the next business day if the 15th falls on a weekend), after which late-payment penalties apply; rates must be set before May 15 each year. The 2026 Tax Rates Summary carries a dedicated "Dyking" column charged as a rate per $1,000 of taxable value — 0.03076 for Class 1 Residential and 0.29356 for Class 9 Farm — on top of a total municipal rate of 2.80493 (Residential) and an all-in Residential total of 4.65328 including Hospital, Regional District, MFA, BC Assessment and School Tax columns. Diking is an assessment-based rate, not a flat per-parcel charge. Properties also carry FVRD levies.

Good to know about Kent townhomes

Kent = the legal name; Agassiz = the market name. Searches, schools and daily life say Agassiz; taxes, bylaws, permits and the OCP say District of Kent.
Two ALR percentages for the same District are both "right." The OCP's approximately 50% excludes forest reserves, Crown land, roads and highways from the denominator; the Ministry of Agriculture inventory's 35% uses its own 18,776 ha study basis. Quoting either without its basis misstates the District's farm share.
Mount Woodside plays by slope rules; the townsite plays by dike rules. OCP Sections 5.2–5.3 (riparian, steep-slope, geotechnical) govern the hillside pocket where Harrison Highlands sits, while Section 5.5 flood/diking policy governs the flat townsite — a Kent buyer's hazard diligence flips depending on which pocket the home is in.
The District's newest recreation asset opened in fall 2026. The Lets'emot Regional Recreation and Aquatic Centre (27,000 sq ft attached to the CRCC at 6660 Pioneer Avenue) had its grand opening set for September 25, 2026 — and despite the name, there is no FVRD "Lets'emot Regional Park"; the name belongs to the aquatic centre.
Diking is priced into Kent ownership every year, visibly. Unlike most municipalities, Kent prints diking as its own tax-rate column (2026 Residential 0.03076 per $1,000) — a buyer can see the floodplain cost on the notice instead of discovering it in a levy letter.

Lots and land in Kent

What trades here

Townsite lots sit in Agassiz; large farm parcels (often tens of acres) sit across the plain; mid-size lots sit at Mount Woodside. Freehold dominates District-wide; strata is mainly townhouse product in Agassiz/Mount Woodside.
Fee-simple lots and acreages — the default form: farm parcels and rural residences trade fee-simple; a fee-simple lot carries no strata corporation, no Form B and no strata fees.
Named development by name only (official/developer source), documented AS a housing community, never as lot inventory: Harrison Highlands — the master-planned community atop Mount Woodside, off Highlands Boulevard, built and developed by Odessa Group (developer's own 2018 advertisement, via Black Press archive), a general-market mix of single-family, semi-detached and townhouse housing per the District's OCP. It is in Kent, not in the Village of Harrison Hot Springs, despite the name.
TOWNSITE POINTER only — never re-documented here
Floodplain and slope character, by pocket: the District's flat lands are Fraser/Harrison floodplain protected by dikes (Flood Protection & Erosion is OCP Section 5.5; the District maintains 135 km of drainage ditches), while Mount Woodside's riparian and steep-slope/geotechnical hazards sit in OCP Sections 5.2–5.3 — the slope policies are the Mount Woodside diligence, the dike policies are the flat-land diligence.

Streets, schools and transit near Kent lots

Board position: the District sits in CADREB territory and the board's name for this land is Agassiz — "Kent" appears on no board list, and the MLS® taxonomy carries this land under the Agassiz area (Harrison Mills is a sub-area under it).
How people search for it: "District of Kent," "Kent BC," "Agassiz-Kent," "Harrison Mills," "Ruby Creek," "Mount Woodside." Locally, people say "Agassiz" for the town and "Kent" for the municipality/rural area.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Kent

SSMUH — District of Kent, as its own: the Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing rules adopted June 10, 2024 (Bylaw No. 1737) allow up to four dwelling units on single-dwelling lots in the new RS1 zone — and the District's own guide is explicit that there are no RS1 properties outside Agassiz and Harrison Highlands, so rural Kent lots do not get the four-unit option. Secondary suites are permitted in single-family homes in all residential zones.
Flood / diking: Flood Protection & Erosion is OCP Section 5.5; the Province's Lower Mainland dike inventory maps cover the District of Kent on map sheet 28, showing dike infrastructure, pump stations and flood boxes regulated under the Dike Maintenance Act; named works include the Hammersley Pump Station, about 6 km west of Agassiz.
ALR block (applies where a parcel is ALR — most flat District ground; status per-parcel): subdivision within the ALR requires Agricultural Land Commission approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. Caps: principal ≤500 m², suite within principal only, additional residence 90 m² (≤40 ha) / 186 m² (>40 ha). Check a parcel on the ALC maps.

Good to know about Kent lots

Two ALR percentages for the same District are both "right" (Nov 1, 2026). The OCP's approximately 50% excludes forest reserves, Crown land, roads and highways from the denominator; the Ministry of Agriculture inventory's 35% (6,502 ha) uses its own 18,776 ha study basis. Quoting either without its basis misstates the District's farm share.
Mount Woodside plays by slope rules; the flat District plays by dike rules (Nov 1, 2026). OCP Sections 5.2–5.3 (riparian, steep-slope, geotechnical) govern the hillside pocket where Harrison Highlands sits, while Section 5.5 flood/diking policy governs the flat ground — a Kent land buyer's hazard diligence flips depending on which pocket the parcel is in.
Two of the District's biggest land uses are federal prisons (Nov 1, 2026). Kent Institution (opened 1979, the only maximum-security facility in CSC's Pacific Region, rated capacity 378) and Mountain Institution (opened 1962, medium security, rated capacity 440) sit on shared Federal Reserve land near Agassiz.
The District has quantified its housing gap (2024). Kent's Interim Housing Needs Report, as presented in the OCP update, found 495 new homes needed immediately and 1,695 more by 2041 — against a 2021 Census base of about 6,300 residents.

Acreage and rural land in Kent

The ground in Kent

Fee-simple farm parcels are the acreage form: Freehold dominates District-wide; strata is mainly townhouse product in Agassiz/Mount Woodside. A Kent acreage purchase is a fee-simple title purchase: no strata corporation, no Form B, no strata fee — District zoning, ALR rules where the parcel is in the reserve, dike/drainage obligations and any registered covenants on title govern.

Streets, schools and transit near Kent acreages

Communities inside Kent: the Agassiz townsite (the main centre), Harrison Mills, Ruby Creek, Mount Woodside, and rural farm areas (Teacup Corner, Limbert Mountain side, etc.). The Village of Harrison Hot Springs is a separate municipality carved out of Kent at the south end of Harrison Lake. Locally people say "Agassiz" for the town and "Kent" for the municipality/rural area; searches, schools and daily life say Agassiz, while taxes, bylaws, permits and the OCP say District of Kent. Nearby areas: Chilliwack across the Fraser (Agassiz-Rosedale Bridge), Hope (east on Hwy 7), Mission (west on Hwy 7), Seabird Island Band and Sts'ailes (adjoining First Nations).
Land base and commuting frame: Highway 7 (Lougheed) runs the length of the District; Highway 9 connects Agassiz south over the Fraser to Chilliwack/Highway 1 and north to Harrison Hot Springs. Transit: BC Transit Route 71 (Chilliwack–Agassiz–Harrison Hot Springs) and Route 72 (Agassiz–Hope via Hwy 7), administered by the FVRD; Agassiz is the in-District hub.

Local rules that affect acreage buyers in Kent

Tax / diking levy: District of Kent municipal taxes plus FVRD levies. Tax notices are mailed in early June and are due July 15 (or the next business day if the 15th falls on a weekend); rates must be set before May 15 each year. Diking is a visible, separate line in the District's own rate structure: the 2026 Tax Rates Summary carries a dedicated "Dyking" column charged as a rate per $1,000 of taxable value — 0.03076 for Class 1 Residential and 0.29356 for Class 9 Farm — on top of a total municipal rate of 2.80493 (Residential) and an all-in Residential total of 4.65328 including the Hospital, Regional District, MFA, BC Assessment and School Tax columns. Diking is thus an assessment-based rate, not a flat per-parcel charge.

Good to know about Kent acreages

Diking is its own tax column (2026 Tax Rates Summary): Residential 0.03076 and Farm 0.29356 per $1,000 of taxable value, on top of a total municipal rate of 2.80493 (Residential) — and the District maintains 135 km of drainage ditches behind that line. Tax notices are mailed in early June and due July 15.
The land acknowledgement names the neighbours (OCP, 2025 update): The District is situated within the traditional, ancestral and unceded territory of the Stó:lō people (S'ólh Téméxw), and the OCP counts six First Nation reserves in the area surrounding the District: Lukseetsissum, Wahleach Island, Seabird Island, Tseatah, Scowlitz and Sts'ailes — part of the title and land-use context for rural parcels on the District's edges.

Duplexes and half duplexes in Kent

What a duplex looks like in Kent

The usual duplex form: Harrison Highlands, the master-planned community atop Mount Woodside, off Highlands Boulevard, built and developed by Odessa Group, is documented in the District's OCP as a mix of single-family, semi-detached and townhouse housing — Mount Woodside is the District's designated newer growth area alongside Agassiz infill.
ALR farm-residence forms — only as ALR sources support: On ALR parcels the ALC housing framework governs (one principal residence per parcel; a secondary suite only inside the principal residence; one additional size-capped residence for farm use or another permitted use) — a principal home plus a lawful additional residence is a two-residence farm parcel, sold whole, not a duplex, and ALR residences cannot be stratified without the ALC's permission.

Local rules that affect duplexes in Kent

The District's own SSMUH information guide, as cited, states that SSMUH rules adopted June 10, 2024 allow up to four dwelling units on single-dwelling lots in the new RS1 zone — duplexes are the baseline form inside that permission.
Flood Protection & Erosion is OCP Section 5.5; the District's flat lands are Fraser/Harrison floodplain protected by dikes, the District maintains drainage systems (including 135 km of drainage ditches, per the OCP material) and supports Fraser River gravel removal. Diking is a visible, separate line in the District's own rate structure: The 2026 Tax Rates Summary carries a dedicated "Dyking" column charged as a rate per $1,000 of taxable value — 0.03076 for Class 1 Residential and 0.29356 for Class 9 Farm — an assessment-based rate, not a flat per-parcel charge.
