This is every townhome for sale on the MLS® in South Surrey and White Rock, at any price. Most of them are strata complexes in the neighbourhoods the City planned for townhouses, from Grandview Heights to Rosemary Heights.
Where South Surrey townhomes are built
Townhomes here didn't happen by accident. The City of Surrey plans each growing neighbourhood with its own land use plan, and those plans say where townhouses can go. The City lists the approved South Surrey land use plans by area, and several of them set aside land for townhouses.
- Grandview Heights. East of Highway 99, it's planned in several neighbourhood plans, including Morgan Heights and Sunnyside Heights, that set aside townhouse land. I cover it on its own page: Grandview Surrey townhomes.
- Rosemary Heights. The Rosemary Heights Central plan covers the land north of 32 Avenue to the Nicomekl River, and it includes a townhouse land use.
- Semiahmoo Town Centre. Council approved a new Semiahmoo Town Centre Plan in 2022. The plan summary says it adds more apartment and townhouse options to the 136-hectare area around 152 Street and 16 Avenue, over 30 to 50 years.
- King George Corridor. This plan runs along King George Boulevard from 8 Avenue north to the Nicomekl. Read my King George Corridor guide before you book showings there.
South Surrey townhome complexes I track
Some complexes come up often enough that I built them their own page with current listings: Greenway, Jacobsen, The Heights, SOHO, South Village, Hyde Park, Arista, Blu Living, Fox and Aikins North, Grandview Corners and Brownstones at Morgan Crossing.
Tour two or three of these on the same afternoon. Unit layouts, parking and how close the visitor stalls are can be very different even a block apart.
What to compare between complexes
Two townhomes at the same price can live very differently. Here's what I walk buyers through:
- Garage. Side-by-side double, tandem, or a single with a pad. Measure it if you have a truck.
- Yard. Some end units have a real fenced yard. Many inside units have a small patio or a deck only.
- Stairs. Three-storey plans with the main living on the middle floor are common. If stairs are a concern, look for a main-floor bedroom.
- Who fixes what. In most complexes the strata looks after roofs, siding and landscaping. Check the bylaws to see what's yours, like decks, windows or the garage door.
Strata papers for a townhome
A townhouse complex is a strata just like a condo building, so the same rules apply. B.C. requires a depreciation report every five years for any strata with five or more lots, which covers nearly every complex you'll tour. With a townhome complex, I pay special attention to the roof and siding schedule in that report, because those are the big costs that come around every couple of decades.
Ask for the Form B, the last two years of minutes and the current bylaws. The bylaws tell you about pets, parking, and what you can change on the outside of your unit.

Schools and other searches
Townhome buyers often care about school catchments first. My South Surrey school catchments guide is the place to start, and the Surrey Schools school locator confirms the exact address.
Neighbourhood guides: Grandview Heights, Morgan Creek, Elgin Chantrell, Sunnyside Park, Pacific Douglas, Crescent Beach and Ocean Park and White Rock. Townhomes in White Rock show up in these listings too, and White Rock homes has every type there.
Narrow it down with townhomes under $1.2M, or compare South Surrey condos, condos under $800K, homes under $1.8M and new construction and presales. There's also every South Surrey listing, the open house list and the map search.

Questions buyers ask
Where does the City plan for townhouses in South Surrey?
Grandview Heights, east of Highway 99, has several neighbourhood plans with land set aside for townhouses. The Rosemary Heights Central plan and the Semiahmoo Town Centre Plan also allow them.
Do South Surrey townhomes come with a garage?
Many do, but not all. Double side-by-side and tandem garages both show up, so check the layout and measure if you have a bigger vehicle.
Who pays for a new roof in a townhouse complex?
Usually the strata, from the contingency reserve fund or a special levy. The depreciation report and the bylaws tell you what the strata covers and what you cover.

Yes. The search covers the MLS® area South Surrey White Rock, so townhomes inside the City of White Rock are included.
