Common questions

Are there any condos in Riverdale?

The pocket's stock is detached houses, plus two townhouse communities on No. 2 Road at its east edge (Oval Gardens, 6511 No. 2 Road, and an unnamed nine-unit community at 6675 No. 2 Road).

Is Riverdale an official Richmond neighbourhood?

No City OCP area or sub-area plan by that name was confirmed — the City plans and serves this area as part of Thompson; "Riverdale RI" is the board-style sub-area name used for this page, and no official boundary for it is published. The street anchor is real: the City locates McCallan Neighbourhood Park "off Riverdale Drive and Larkspur Avenue," west of No. 2 Road and south of Westminster Highway.

What strata options exist at all?

Two townhouse communities, both on No. 2 Road: Oval Gardens (6511 No. 2 Road; a listed end unit is a 2-storey, 3-bedroom townhouse with a 2-car garage, built 2015) and the nine-unit community at 6675 No. 2 Road (built 1990, freehold strata per listings, its listed unit 1,574 sq. ft. with an inset two-car garage). Neither is an apartment condo; both are documented in as townhomes.

Can I rent out a Riverdale townhouse long-term?

For a strata lot, yes — rental-restriction bylaws have been unenforceable since November 24, 2022 anywhere in BC, whatever older bylaw text says. Short-term rentals can still be restricted by bylaw, and the registered bylaws on the Form B govern that question. For a detached house, the suite rules are the relevant ones.

Is Riverdale a real Richmond neighbourhood?

Not as a City planning name. No City OCP area or sub-area plan by that name was confirmed — the City plans and serves this area as part of Thompson, and "Riverdale RI" is the board-style sub-area name for the Riverdale Drive pocket west of No. 2 Road and south of Westminster Highway. Buy the ground and its Thompson services, not a City neighbourhood brand.

What townhouses can I actually buy here?

Three strata communities: Oval Gardens (6511 No. 2 Road, built 2015), the unnamed nine-unit community at 6675 No. 2 Road (built 1990, freehold strata), and Tiffany Estate II (6100 Tiffany Boulevard, built 1980). Zero fee-simple townhouse complexes are known — everything else attached-looking in the pocket is an apartment building, a fee-simple house, a co-op or a rental.

Tiffany Estates — strata or not?

Both, under one enclave name. The 6100 Tiffany Boulevard townhouses (Tiffany Estate II) are strata — listings record Sub-Type Strata and strata works — while houses on the Lynas Lane / Tiffany streets carrying the Tiffany Estates name are fee-simple Single Family Residences with Freehold NonStrata title: no strata, no Form B, no strata fees. The title field on the specific unit decides which diligence applies.

Can I rent out my Riverdale townhouse?

Long-term, yes under provincial law: strata rental-restriction bylaws have been void since Nov 24, 2022. Short-term rentals can still be restricted by bylaw — read the registered bylaws in the Form B package for the specific complex.

Where is Riverdale in Richmond?

In north-west Richmond's Thompson area — the Riverdale Drive pocket west of No. 2 Road and south of Westminster Highway; the City locates McCallan Neighbourhood Park, 6360 Coltsfoot Drive, "off Riverdale Drive and Larkspur Avenue" in that pocket.

Is Riverdale an official City of Richmond neighbourhood name?

No City OCP area or sub-area plan by that name was confirmed — the City plans and serves this area as part of Thompson; "Riverdale RI" is the board-style sub-area name used for this page, and no official boundary for it is published.

Is there a Riverdale Elementary School in Richmond?

No SD38 school by that name in Richmond was confirmed; Riverdale Elementary is in Surrey under Surrey Schools (SD36), so Richmond families should check the SD38 locator for their exact address.

Condo buildings in Riverdale

Geography note: "Riverdale" is not a City of Richmond OCP area or sub-area plan name — no City planning-area or neighbourhood material read uses the name for this pocket, and the City plans and serves this area as part of Thompson. "Riverdale RI" is the board-style sub-area name used for this page. The ground itself is real and precisely located: the Riverdale Drive pocket in north-west Richmond, west of No. 2 Road and south of Westminster Highway, running south toward Granville Avenue — the City's park page for McCallan Neighbourhood Park locates that park "West of No. 2 Road and South of Westminster Hwy., off Riverdale Drive and Larkspur Avenue" in the Thompson recreation area. No official boundary for a Riverdale neighbourhood is published.

Streets, schools and getting around Riverdale

The pocket: Riverdale Drive and Larkspur Avenue off the west side of No. 2 Road, Westminster Highway to the north, McCallan Neighbourhood Park at 6360 Coltsfoot Drive inside the pocket, and Granville Avenue and the Thompson Community Centre area to the south and east. Nearby: Terra Nova to the west, Thompson / Granville and Quilchena to the south and east, the City Centre / Brighouse to the east along Westminster Highway, and Sea Island across the Middle Arm to the north.
Where the condo stock concentrates: nowhere — there is no apartment-condo stock in this pocket. The documented form is single-detached houses in Richmond Zoning Bylaw 8500 RS1/RS2 zones on large lots (subzone minimums in this pocket's bylaw range run from RS1/B 360.0 m² to RS1/G 2,000 m²).
Parks and trails: McCallan Neighbourhood Park, 6360 Coltsfoot Drive, is a 3.514-acre park inside the pocket with a sports field, a basketball half-court, a playground, benches, a dogs off-leash area and trails; it sits beside the McCallan Road Trail, a greenway connection between the Railway Avenue cycling corridor and the Terra Nova / West Dyke Trails to the west and the Middle Arm Dyke Trails to the east. Thompson Community Centre, 5151 Granville Avenue, is the community centre for the Thompson area.
Transit: TransLink route 401 (One Road) runs along Westminster Highway at the pocket's north edge, from Richmond–Brighouse Station (Canada Line) via No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway to Steveston via No. 1 Road; buses on Westminster Highway connect the pocket to Richmond–Brighouse Station, and TransLink's published SkyTrain timetable (effective September 7, 2026) gives 26 minutes from Richmond–Brighouse Station to Waterfront Station.

Local rules that affect condo buyers in Riverdale

Suites and added units: a secondary suite is a permitted secondary use in the RS1/RS2 zones — Section 5.4 states a suite minimum of 33.0 m² and a maximum of the lesser of 40% of the dwelling floor area or 110 m² — and the City states it allows at least one secondary suite and/or accessory dwelling unit such as a coach house per lot, with Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit minimums of 3 units on lots of 280 m² or less and 4 units on larger lots. For most Riverdale buyers this — not condo stock — is the attached-housing conversation in this pocket.
Aircraft noise: the pocket sits on the Sea Island / YVR side of Richmond; aircraft noise policy for Richmond is set out in City Bulletin DEVAPPS-05 and the Aircraft Noise Sensitive Development Policy Area.

Good to know about Riverdale

The board name and the City name describe the same area differently. A buyer searching City material for "Riverdale" finds nothing — the verifiable anchors are Riverdale Drive, McCallan Neighbourhood Park and Thompson Community Centre.
The pocket's recreation spine is a trail junction, not a centre. McCallan Neighbourhood Park (3.514 acres) sits beside the McCallan Road Trail, which connects the Railway Avenue cycling corridor to the Terra Nova / West Dyke Trails westward and the Middle Arm Dyke Trails eastward — the dyke-trail network is this neighbourhood's recreation spine, and Thompson Community Centre (5151 Granville Avenue) sits south-east of the pocket, not in it.
Lot-size minimums here span a 5-to-1 range inside one bylaw section.
The only strata buying here is small-strata buying. Nine units (6675 No. 2 Road) means every roof, fence and repaving decision is split nine ways and one difficult owner is a ninth of the corporation — the Form B, CRF balance and five-year depreciation report matter more, not less, because the community is tiny.
The school with this area's name is in another city. Riverdale Elementary belongs to Surrey Schools (SD36); nothing about it (catchment, programs, ratings) applies to Richmond's Riverdale pocket, so don't rely on listing copy that mentions it.

The province-wide rules are on one page: BC condo buying rules.

Townhome complexes in Riverdale

Standing position, stated at the top: "Riverdale" is not a City of Richmond OCP area or sub-area plan name — no City planning-area or neighbourhood material read uses the name for this pocket, and the City plans and serves this area as part of Thompson.

Oval Gardens — 6511 No. 2 Road. Strata

A current listing describes a rare 2-storey end-unit townhouse in Oval Gardens in prestigious Riverdale with 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, a full 2-car garage and a fenced front yard, built 2015, and records an HOA-fee field for the unit (listing evidence of a strata/HOA charge — the Form B governs). Published rental/pet restrictions: confirm on the Form B.

Unnamed nine-unit townhouse community — 6675 No. 2 Road. Strata

Current listings describe an exclusive nine-unit townhouse community on No. 2 Road in the Riverdale District that lives like a detached home, with an inset two-car garage; the listed unit is a 3-bedroom, 1,574 sq ft home, built 1990, Sub-Type Townhouse, Ownership Type Freehold Strata, with strata amenities (trash, maintenance grounds, management). Published rental/pet restrictions: confirm on the Form B.

Tiffany Estate II (also written Tiffany Estates II) — 6100 Tiffany Boulevard (entrance from Lynas Lane). Strata

Note the enclave split in the entry below: the Tiffany Estates name also covers fee-simple detached houses, which are a different form and are not part of this complex's count.

Streets, schools and transit near Riverdale townhomes

The City's park page for McCallan Neighbourhood Park, 6360 Coltsfoot Drive, locates that park "West of No. 2 Road and South of Westminster Hwy., off Riverdale Drive and Larkspur Avenue" and lists its recreation area as Thompson — Riverdale Drive is a real Richmond street and this pocket is where the Riverdale name lives on the ground.
Where the townhouse stock concentrates: the pocket's east and south-east edges — Oval Gardens and the unnamed nine-unit community on No. 2 Road at the east edge, and Tiffany Estate II on Tiffany Boulevard / Lynas Lane at the south-east. The pocket's interior streets (Riverdale Drive, Larkspur Avenue) are documented detached housing.
Schools: SD38 catchments are address-based and the district has no middle-school tier — elementary is Kindergarten to Grade 7 and secondary is Grades 8 to 12. J.N. Burnett Secondary, 5011 Granville Avenue, is the secondary school in the wider Thompson area south-east of the pocket.
Parks, trails and recreation: McCallan Neighbourhood Park, 6360 Coltsfoot Drive, is a 3.514-acre park inside the pocket (sports field, basketball half-court, playground, benches, dogs off-leash area, trails) beside the McCallan Road Trail, which connects the Railway Avenue cycling corridor to the Terra Nova / West Dyke Trails to the west and the Middle Arm Dyke Trails to the east. Thompson Community Centre, 5151 Granville Avenue, is the community centre for the Thompson area, south-east of the pocket. The nearest library branches are the Brighouse (Main) Branch at 100-7700 Minoru Gate and the Steveston Branch (Easthope Hub) at 4320 Moncton Street; the nearest hospital is Richmond Hospital, 7000 Westminster Highway.
Transit and roads: TransLink route 401 (One Road) runs along Westminster Highway at the pocket's north edge, from Richmond–Brighouse Station (Canada Line) via No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway to Steveston via No. 1 Road; TransLink's published SkyTrain timetable (effective September 7, 2026) gives 26 minutes from Richmond–Brighouse Station to Waterfront Station. Westminster Highway runs east–west at the north edge, No. 2 Road runs north–south at the east side (north to the Dinsmore Bridge and Sea Island / YVR side), and Granville Avenue is to the south.

Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Riverdale

Fee-simple homes (the pocket's main stock, incl. the Tiffany Estates houses): A co-op home (Granville Gardens) is neither strata nor fee-simple: there is no Form B and no individual title — diligence is the co-op's own membership, housing-charge and occupancy documents.

Good to know about Riverdale townhomes

The pocket's recreation spine is a trail, not a road. McCallan Neighbourhood Park (3.514 acres, 6360 Coltsfoot Drive) sits beside the McCallan Road Trail, which connects the Railway Avenue cycling corridor to the Terra Nova / West Dyke Trails westward and the Middle Arm Dyke Trails eastward — from a Riverdale Drive house, both dyke systems are a short ride without crossing the whole city.
Lot-size minimums here span a 5-to-1 range inside one bylaw section. The RS1/RS2 subzone minimums listed for this pocket run from RS1/B at 360.0 m² to RS1/G at 2,000 m², with a 24.0 m minimum depth in most subzones — two houses on nearby streets can sit under entirely different rebuild math, which is why insists on the specific lot's subzone.
The newest building at the pocket's corner is rental, and it is not seniors housing. Rio Vista (5491 No. 2 Road, opened March 2026) is sometimes assumed to be seniors housing because seniors are named among its residents — the City describes the 80 homes as for "single people, families and seniors" at low- and moderate-income rental rates. It changes the corner's rental supply, not its townhouse stock.

Lots and land in Riverdale

Fee-simple lots

Established-street house lots: predominantly freehold detached housing on the official record for the pocket, in Richmond Zoning Bylaw 8500 Single Detached zones RS1 and RS2.
Lot character from the zone ladder, as stated: RS1/RS2 minimum lot areas vary widely by subzone — RS1/B 360.0 m², RS1/E 550.0 m², RS1/F 828.0 m², RS1/K 315.0 m² and RS1/G 2,000 m²'s documented set — with a 24.0 m minimum depth in most subzones. These are zone minimums, not a claim about any existing lot's size; the zone and dimensions of a specific lot are confirmed parcel by parcel.
Serviced position, as official sources state it: homes in the pocket are on City water and sewer services.
No ALR percentage split is stated; check any parcel on ALC mapping.
Flood position: the pocket sits in the Fraser River floodplain behind the City system — 49 km of dikes and 39 pump stations designed for a 1:500 flood event, dikes being raised from 3.5 m to 4.7 m — and new construction is subject to flood construction levels and dike setbacks under Bylaw 8204. The Middle Arm dyke trails east and west of the pocket run on that dike system.

Historic subdivisions / applications

Historic subdivision fabric = built lot fabric, not offerings: the pocket's streets are an established detached subdivision pattern documented above; no historic subdivision is presented as a lot offering, and no assembly, development site or rezoning proposal specific to the pocket was confirmed — no plan or approved major project specific to a Riverdale pocket was confirmed.

Streets, schools and transit near Riverdale lots

Riverdale is a small established residential neighbourhood in north-west Richmond on Lulu Island, in the City's Thompson recreation and planning area: the Riverdale Drive pocket west of No. 2 Road and south of Westminster Highway, running south toward Granville Avenue, with the Middle Arm / River Road dyke country at its north side. The City's park page for McCallan Neighbourhood Park, 6360 Coltsfoot Drive, locates that park "West of No. 2 Road and South of Westminster Hwy., off Riverdale Drive and Larkspur Avenue" and lists its recreation area as Thompson.
Nearby areas: Terra Nova to the west across the dyke-side streets, Thompson / Granville and Quilchena to the south and east, the City Centre / Brighouse to the east along Westminster Highway, and Sea Island across the Middle Arm to the north.
Transit and roads: route 401 (One Road) runs along Westminster Highway at the pocket's north edge, from Richmond–Brighouse Station (Canada Line) via No. 3 Road and Westminster Highway to Steveston via No. 1 Road. TransLink's timetable (effective September 7, 2026) gives 26 minutes from Richmond–Brighouse Station to Waterfront Station. Westminster Highway runs east–west at the north edge, No. 2 Road north–south at the east side, Riverdale Drive and Larkspur Avenue are the pocket's own streets, Granville Avenue is to the south.
Schools: SD38 catchments are address-based, with no middle-school tier — elementary K–7, secondary 8–12. J.N. Burnett Secondary, 5011 Granville Avenue, is the secondary school in the wider Thompson area south-east of the pocket.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Riverdale

Zoning — Zoning Bylaw 8500 (RS1/RS2, Section 8.1): houses in the pocket sit in Single Detached zones RS1 and RS2, with minimum lot areas by subzone in Section 8.1.8 and a 24.0 m minimum depth in most subzones; Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing zones RSM/S, RSM/M, RSM/L and RSM/XL also apply in the bylaw as amended. Confirm the parcel's subzone before pricing any split.
OCP — Richmond 2041 Official Community Plan, Bylaw 9000: the city-wide plan covering the pocket, with Schedule 2 area and sub-area plans listed by the City for the Thompson side of Richmond; no Riverdale-specific plan exists on the City record read.
SSMUH / suites as the City states it: a secondary suite is a permitted secondary use in the RS1/RS2 zones — Section 5.4 states a suite minimum of 33.0 m² and a maximum of the lesser of 40% of the dwelling floor area or 110 m² — and the City states it allows at least one secondary suite and/or accessory dwelling unit such as a coach house per lot, with Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit minimums of 3 units on lots of 280 m² or less and 4 units on larger lots.
Flood Control — Bylaw 8204: new construction is subject to flood construction levels and dike setbacks under the Flood Plain Designation and Protection Bylaw 8204.
Aircraft-noise diligence: the pocket sits on the Sea Island / YVR side of Richmond; aircraft noise policy is set out in City Bulletin DEVAPPS-05 and the Aircraft Noise Sensitive Development Policy Area. A street-by-street noise contour finding for Riverdale: check the property's position under that policy material before a buyer commits.

Good to know about Riverdale lots

The subzone spread is the whole pricing story: one bylaw section holds both a 315 m²-minimum subzone and a 2,000 m²-minimum subzone for this pocket's housing form — two Riverdale lots a few streets apart can carry completely different subdivision futures, and only the parcel's Section 8.1.8 subzone settles which.
