55+ manufactured-home parks in Southwest Maple Ridge

Val Maria — 21163 Lougheed Hwy

A 55+ age-restricted manufactured home park on the Lougheed Highway corridor at the sub-area's north side. Listings for the same park unit state it plainly: "VAL MARIA, 55+ age restricted manufactured home park," with listing-stated terms of $850/month pad rent and 2 small pets allowed. Buyers own the manufactured home and rent the pad under the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act; this is not strata and not freehold land ownership. All figures are listing-stated — confirm against the tenancy agreement and park rules.

Rental, care and subsidized seniors housing in Southwest Maple Ridge (not for sale)

  • Earl Haig — 11821 Burnett St (Hammond): Seniors' rental housing owned by the Earl Haig Society and managed on its behalf by the Royal Canadian Legion, Maple Ridge (Branch 88). A 2009 Legion seniors-housing case study records the details: built in the 1960s, five one-level buildings consisting of 22 units, on the Legion's Hammond land. The Seniors Resource Directory states the Legion's buildings place veterans first but are open to everyone, and lists Earl Haig's cost model alongside its other subsidized rentals (income-based section of the directory). Rental — nothing to buy.
  • Legion House: — the Legion's second seniors' rental building, named alongside Earl Haig in the Seniors Resource Directory ("two seniors' rental housing facilities, Earl Haig and Legion House").
  • Christopherson House — 11797 Burnett St (Hammond): Non-profit seniors housing owned and operated by Columbus Charities Association. The Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows Seniors Resource Directory (2024–25 edition) lists it under Retirement Communities (Non-Profit) with "Cost: Affordable," and its description begins "Christopherson House offers seniors secure, independent [living]…" (directory wording). Rental — nothing to buy.
  • Kilmartin Gardens: — a second Columbus Charities Association seniors building in the directory, sharing Christopherson House's phone number and operator site (colchar.org). Its street address could not be cleanly read from the directory's column layout — the Burnett Street cluster is the context. Do not map it without fresh confirmation.
  • Fenstanton Place — 11741 207 St (Hammond): Subsidized non-profit rental owned and operated by Red Door Housing Society, cost income-based. BC Housing's Zone 4 directory (May 2025) lists it as a non-profit development with on-site staff and wheelchair-accessible units, in the directory whose scope is affordable housing for seniors and adults with disabilities; the Seniors Resource Directory carries it in the same subsidized section it defines as rental housing for individuals over 55 with low income.

Streets, schools and getting around Southwest Maple Ridge

  • Lougheed Highway runs along the sub-area's north side and carries its one manufactured home park (Val Maria at 21163). Hammond's historic commercial area is a named feature of the neighbourhood in the Hammond Area Plan; the Maple Meadows Business Park and the Lougheed/Dewdney commercial areas hold most local employment.
  • The Golden Ears Bridge at the area's west side connects Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows to Langley and Surrey; the City states Golden Ears Way will be expanded from two lanes to four between the Highway 7 interchange and 210 Street, with detailed design underway.
  • Schools physically inside the sub-area: Hammond Elementary (11520 203 Street), Maple Ridge Elementary (20820 River Road) and Westview Secondary (20905 Wicklund Avenue), all School District 42; SD42 has no middle tier (elementary K–7, secondary 8–12).
  • No City recreation centre or library branch sits in the southwest; the Maple Ridge Leisure Centre is at 11925 Haney Place in the Town Centre to the east, and Hammond's own facilities are Hammond Park, Hammond Community Park (ballfields, Hammond Hall, Hammond Outdoor Pool) and the Maple Ridge Golf Course at 20818 Golf Lane.
  • Where 55+ housing actually concentrates: in one Hammond cluster and one highway site. The cluster is Burnett Street in Hammond — Earl Haig (11821) and Christopherson House (11797), the Legion and Columbus Charities buildings a block apart — plus Fenstanton Place at 11741 207 Street a few blocks west. The highway site is Val Maria, the 55+ manufactured home park at 21163 Lougheed Hwy. There is no 55+ strata building anywhere in the sub-area.

Local rules and plans in Southwest Maple Ridge

  • Manufactured home parks run on different law — the Val Maria rulebook: Pad tenancies are governed by the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act and its Regulation (B.C. Reg. 481/2003), not the Strata Property Act. 10(2)(b)(i) permitted age requirements — and a park landlord may refuse an assignment or sublease where the proposed purchaser does not meet the age requirement in such a park.
  • Maple Ridge has its own park-redevelopment tenant policy: Council Policy No. 6.27, the Manufactured Home Park Redevelopment Tenant Assistance Policy, supplements the provincial Act: it is triggered by a rezoning application proposing redevelopment of a mobile home park, and sets compensatory measures for tenancies where the pad is rented but the dwelling is owned by the tenant. The City's July 28, 2026 council actions amended this policy as part of its tenant protection framework.
  • City zoning: Zoning Bylaw No. 7600-2019: The standard house zone is RS-1 (s. 605 — minimum lot area 668.0 m², width 18.0 m, depth 27.0 m, maximum coverage 40%); accessory uses include Secondary Suite Residential and Detached Garden Suite Residential. Mobile homes, mobile home parks and mobile home plots are defined terms in the bylaw (per Policy 6.27).
  • Suites and added units: one secondary suite per lot inside the single detached building, maximum 40% of gross floor area, and not within the floodplain area; eligible single-detached and duplex lots may have up to three, four or six units under the City's SSMUH bylaws.
  • Floodplain (south side, along the Fraser River): the Fraser River flood construction level is 6.7 m geodetic (including freeboard), a covenant on title identifies construction in the floodplain, no habitable floor space may be located below the flood construction level on affected lots, and Zoning Bylaw s. 402.8(h) prohibits rental accommodation (suites) on floodplain properties.
  • Hammond Area Plan status: the plan (OCP s. 10.5) has been given final reading and adopted by Council, and its update enables mixed-use, higher-density buildings in the plan area and incorporates provincially required density; a Hammond Development Permit Area (heritage) applies to properties within the plan.
  • Subsidized seniors rental runs through BC Housing's Housing Registry: for this area (Zone 4 directory, May 2025), except Legion and society buildings that take applications directly — the directory gives the route per building.

BC’s 55+ rules (age bylaws, who may live in a unit, exemptions and rentals) apply in every strata and are on the BC 55+ strata rules page.

Good to know about Southwest Maple Ridge

  • Hammond's seniors housing grew out of a railway land deal and a Legion hall. Hammond began as Port Hammond Junction; the City records that the Hammond brothers donated land to the CPR on the condition the first railway station in Maple Ridge be built in Hammond. A century later the neighbourhood's seniors backbone is Royal Canadian Legion Branch 88 — described in the Legion's own case study as one of the largest Legions in Canada (over 2,600 members) and a developer of seniors' affordable housing for over 40 years — whose Earl Haig buildings went up in the 1960s on Burnett Street.
  • Val Maria has almost no public footprint. The park's 55+ status, pad rent and pet rule are documented only in unit listings.
  • The City is actively rewriting the rules around parks and renters right now. At its July 28, 2026 meeting Council advanced a new Tenant Protection Bylaw, amendments to the Tenant Relocation Assistance Policy and the Manufactured Home Park Redevelopment Tenant Assistance Policy, and a new Rental Protection Policy encouraging one-for-one replacement of rental units lost to redevelopment.
  • The City put the Hammond Aquatics and Recreation Centre (11509 207 Street / 20601 Westfield Avenue, on the Hammond Community Park site, Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 8123-2026) and the Hammond Multi-Use Community Park (20818 Golf Lane, the golf course site, Bylaw No. 8124-2026) to residents.
  • Golden Ears Way is slated to double in width beside the sub-area. The City states the road will be expanded from two lanes to four between the Highway 7 interchange and 210 Street, with detailed design underway — relevant to both commute times and noise for homes near the corridor.
  • The "55+" label hides how thin attached supply is here.

Southwest Maple Ridge 55+ homes: your questions answered

Is there any 55+ home I can actually buy in Southwest Maple Ridge?

Ownership-wise, only the manufactured homes at Val Maria (21163 Lougheed Hwy) — you buy the home and rent the pad. The nearest 55+ strata purchases are the Fraserview Village buildings in East Central.

What does Val Maria cost monthly, and can I have a dog?

A current listing states pad rent of $850/month and that 2 small pets are allowed (listing-stated — confirm in the tenancy agreement and park rules, which are the operative documents under the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act).

I'm 50. Can I buy a home in the 55+ park if I don't live there yet, or buy it for my parent?

Park age rules work differently from strata bylaws: the provincial Regulation frames a 55+ park as one where sites are reserved for a tenant who has reached 55 (or two or more tenants, at least one of whom has reached 55), and the landlord may refuse an assignment where the proposed purchaser does not meet the age requirement. Whether a non-resident owner arrangement works at Val Maria specifically is a park-rules question.

What happens to me if the park is ever redeveloped?

Two layers protect pad tenants: the Manufactured Home Park Tenancy Act governs how a tenancy can be ended for redevelopment, and Maple Ridge's Policy 6.27 adds City-level tenant assistance triggered by any rezoning application to redevelop a mobile home park, with compensatory measures for tenants who rent the pad but own the dwelling.

Can I add a rental suite to a Hammond house to help with costs?

On a standard lot, one secondary suite per lot inside the house (maximum 40% of gross floor area) is permitted — but not on a floodplain property: Zoning Bylaw s. 402.8(h) prohibits rental accommodation on floodplain lots, and no habitable floor space may sit below the 6.7 m flood construction level on affected lots. Check the lot's floodplain status before underwriting suite income.

What do I need to know about the bluff (escarpment) before buying or rebuilding?

If the lot is within 300 m of the escarpment crest, a geotechnical report on a Section 219 covenant is required before a building permit; within 100 m, a detailed report on seismic slope failure. City policy also says septic fields shall be avoided in the policy area and new residences require sanitary sewers — confirm sewer connection status on any older Hammond home.

Who gets into the Legion and charity buildings, and do veterans jump the queue?

The Seniors Resource Directory states Royal Canadian Legion Branch 88 "owns and operates two seniors' rental housing facilities, Earl Haig and Legion House" plus its two life-lease buildings (in East Central), and that "Veterans place first in all the buildings but they are open to everyone." Earl Haig is owned by the Earl Haig Society and managed by the Legion; Christopherson House is Columbus Charities'; Fenstanton Place is Red Door Housing Society's, cost income-based. Applications go to the buildings/societies directly or through BC Housing's Housing Registry depending on the building.

Where is the hospital?

Ridge Meadows Hospital, 11666 Laity Street, Maple Ridge, is the community hospital for Maple Ridge and Pitt Meadows with 24/7 emergency care, northeast of this sub-area; the Ridge Meadows Urgent and Primary Care Centre is at 121–11900 Haney Place, open 7 days a week, 9:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m.

Can I commute without a car?

Two West Coast Express stations bracket the sub-area (Maple Meadows at 20010 Dunn Ave, Port Haney at 22300 River Road) with weekday trains to Waterfront, and the 743/744 buses loop Hammond's streets to Haney Place via Maple Meadows Station — but the service is commuter-oriented; day-to-day local trips still lean on the bus loop or a car.
