Condo buildings in Seafair

Streets, schools and transit near Seafair condos

• Seafair is the west Richmond planning area on Lulu Island — City of Richmond planning area 6 on the Official Community Plan Key Map — and the City name and the board sub-area name match. Rough boundaries from the City plan area map: Granville Avenue to the north, Railway Avenue and the No. 2 Road side of west Richmond to the east, Williams Road to the south, and the West Dyke Trail and dike along the Strait of Georgia side of Lulu Island to the west; Francis Road and No. 1 Road cross the area.
• Main roads: No. 1 Road runs north–south through the area, Francis Road runs east–west, Granville Avenue is at the north edge and Williams Road at the south edge.
• Transit: TransLink route 401 (One Road) runs on No. 1 Road through Seafair between Richmond–Brighouse Station (Canada Line) and Steveston Exchange, stopping beside Hugh Boyd Park and Hugh Boyd Secondary School; no SkyTrain station sits inside Seafair.

Local rules that affect condo buyers in Seafair

• Official Community Plan: the City of Richmond 2041 Official Community Plan, Bylaw 9000, covers Seafair (planning area 6), with Schedule 2 area and sub-area plans addressing neighbourhood issues.
• Flood protection and Flood Bylaw 8204: Richmond is a low-lying island city in the Fraser River floodplain, protected by a perimeter dike system with drainage pump stations including the west dike beside Seafair (49 km of dikes, 39 pump stations city-wide); the system is designed for a 1:500 flood event and dikes are being raised from 3.5 metres to 4.7 metres for sea level rise; the Flood Plain Designation and Protection Bylaw 8204 sets dike setbacks and flood construction level requirements — directly relevant to the Williams Road / dyke-edge complexes.
• District energy (ADEU): the Alexandra District Energy Utility serves the West Cambie / Alexandra neighbourhood (Bylaw No. 8641 is framed for buildings within the Alexandra neighbourhood, and the utility operator describes the ADEU system as serving the West Cambie neighbourhood).

Good to know about Seafair condos

• The "apartments" on Francis Road are a 1969 rental building. Wall Seafair at 3851 Francis Road (78 units, 3 storeys, built 1969 per the rental directory) is operated as renovated rental apartments by Wall Financial Corporation — buyers searching "Seafair apartments" will land on rental marketing, not strata stock.
• Edgewater Park has already done one big envelope cycle — on paper. A current listing records a full siding replacement (rainscreen), new windows and patio doors for the complex at a substantial per-unit cost already paid. For a 1975 frame-wood complex that history is central to value — and it must be verified in the depreciation report and strata minutes, not taken from listing copy.
• Williams Road is both the amenity and the boundary. Edgewater Park's dyke access (West Dyke Trail to Garry Point and Steveston Village) comes from sitting on Seafair's south boundary street — the same position that puts it closest to the dike system and Bylaw 8204's flood framework.
• Seafair's recreation anchor is a school-park campus. Hugh Boyd Community Park at 9200 No. 1 Road combines the secondary school, West Richmond Community Centre, pitch and putt, artificial turf fields, tennis courts and a playground on one site — the amenity both townhouse complexes trade on is a City park/centre, not a strata facility.

Lots and land in Seafair

Fee-simple lots

• Established-street house lots: overwhelmingly freehold detached houses in Richmond Zoning Bylaw 8500 Single Detached zones RS1 and RS2 (Section 8.1), with secondary suites under Section 5.4 and Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing zones (RSM/S, RSM/M, RSM/L, RSM/XL) in the bylaw as amended.
• Lot character from the zone ladder, as stated: minimum lot areas by subzone include RS1/B 360.0 m², RS1/E 550.0 m², RS1/F 828.0 m² and RS1/K 315.0 m², 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 the City states it: Seafair homes are on City water and sewer services. Servicing for any single vacant or assembly parcel is confirmed with the City.
• ALR vs non-ALR: no ALR parcel inside the Seafair planning area is confirmed; ALR status is a property-specific check through the Agricultural Land Commission. No ALR percentage split is stated.
• Flood position: Richmond is a low-lying island city in the Fraser River floodplain, protected by a perimeter dike system (49 km of dikes, 39 pump stations city-wide) designed for a 1:500 flood event, with dikes being raised from 3.5 metres to 4.7 metres for sea level rise; the west dike runs beside Seafair. The Flood Plain Designation and Protection Bylaw 8204 sets dike setbacks and flood construction level requirements — a core diligence item on every Seafair lot.

Built strata ground

• Edgewater Park — 3031 Williams Road (south boundary street): Its site is built strata ground, not a lot offering; no lot count is taken from it here.

Nearest hospital: Richmond Hospital, 7000 Westminster Highway.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Seafair

• Zoning — Richmond Zoning Bylaw 8500: houses sit in Single Detached zones RS1 and RS2 (Section 8.1; subzone minimums), with RSM/S, RSM/M, RSM/L and RSM/XL Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing zones in the bylaw as amended. Confirm the parcel's zone and subzone on the City record before pricing any split.
• Flood / dike diligence — Bylaw 8204: Get the parcel-level flood construction level and any dike right-of-way position before pricing a rebuild or a split.
• If a parcel is in the ALR: subdivision within the ALR requires ALC approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. On ALR land the main house can be up to 500 m², a suite is allowed only inside it, and an extra residence can be up to 90 m² (186 m² on parcels over 40 ha). For farm class, BC Assessment looks for farm income of $10,000 a year on under 0.8 ha, $2,500 on 0.8 to 4 ha, and $2,500 plus 5% of the value of land over 4 ha; applications are due by October 31. Check the parcel on ALC mapping before applying any of this.

Good to know about Seafair lots

• The park pocket carries two labels for one ground: Hugh Boyd Community Park at 9200 No. 1 Road is planned as Seafair (planning area 6) and also sold under the park-anchored "Boyd Park" page label — a buyer searching only one name misses stock filed under the other, and the land fabric is the same RS1/RS2 fee-simple streets either way.
• Dixon Elementary is getting a seismic upgrade (Province, February 2026): Alfred B. Dixon Elementary at the area's north-west edge is listed among Richmond projects opening in 2026 in the Province's announcement — school investment a buyer will not see in listing copy.
• Edgewater Park's unit count is genuinely unsettled: 137 homes on a current listing's building summary against 208 units in the building directory, for the same Strata Plan NWS438. The lot count drives each owner's share of any levy, so the Form B and the strata plan — not either published figure — settle it.
• The "apartments" on Francis Road are a 1969 rental building: Wall Seafair at 3851 Francis Road (78 units, 3 storeys, built 1969 per the rental directory) is operated as renovated rental apartments — buyers searching "Seafair apartments" land on rental marketing, not strata or land stock, a short walk from the Seafair West strata townhouses on the same street.

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