Southwest Maple Ridge: Neighbourhood Guide

Neighbourhood guide · City of Maple Ridge · Hammond and the southwest

Living in Southwest Maple Ridge

Southwest Maple Ridge is an MLS® sub-area name. The City of Maple Ridge doesn’t publish a boundary for it. The closest official description is the Hammond Area Plan area. The City says Hammond is bounded on the west by the City of Pitt Meadows and the Katzie First Nation and on the south by the Fraser River, with the Lougheed Highway and Dewdney Trunk Road commercial areas to the north and mainly single-family development to the east. The City’s Fraser River Escarpment policy area is bounded by 207 Street on the west, 124 Avenue on the north, 224 Street on the east and the crest of the Fraser River escarpment on the south.

Planning, zoning and flood

Planning and flood notes for Southwest Maple Ridge

Plans, zoning and flood rules can be different for each lot.

  • The Hammond Area Plan is part of the City’s area plans. Council adopted it on January 24, 2017, and adopted the 2025 update on November 25, 2025.
  • The 2025 update enables mixed-use, higher-density buildings and adds the density required by provincial legislation.
  • The City says it adopted updates to the Official Community Plan and to the Town Centre, Hammond, Silver Valley and Albion area plans in 2025. Albion’s was adopted on October 28 and the others in November.
  • Hammond is bounded on the south by the Fraser River. Check the City’s floodplain map for any address near the river.
  • The City’s 2014 Hammond open-house handout, “Developing in the Floodplain,” says building in the floodplain needs a covenant registered on title and a geotechnical engineer’s report. For lots created after the original 1800s subdivision, the covenant also bars habitable floor space below the flood construction level. A 2008 study put that level at 6.7 metres geodetic for the Fraser River in this area. It is an older handout, so confirm today’s rules with the City.
  • The City mails its Be Flood Ready guide to properties near the Fraser River floodplain. The guide includes a map of the Fraser River floodplain and an overview of the City’s flood response plan.
  • The City says it manages flood risk case by case, and that a proposed Floodplain Management Bylaw would set clearer rules, including minimum building elevations.
  • The City’s Fraser River Escarpment policy area is bounded by 207 Street on the west, 124 Avenue on the north, 224 Street on the east and the crest of the Fraser River escarpment on the south.
  • Inside that area, groundwater and surface drainage from additions, new construction and hard landscaping must connect to the City storm drainage system, which means a ditch or storm sewer.
  • For properties between 100 m and 300 m from the crest, the City also requires a geotechnical report and a Section 219 covenant before a building permit. Closer than 100 m, the report must also look at seismic slope failure.
  • The escarpment guidelines say septic fields are to be avoided and sanitary sewers provided where possible.
  • ALR: I did not find an official statement placing Agricultural Land Reserve land inside the southwest urban area. ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact address on the Agricultural Land Commission map.
  • Transit: the West Coast Express stops at Maple Meadows Station and Port Haney Station, and routes 743, 744, 701 and 791 all serve Maple Meadows Station.

My Maple Ridge zoning guide covers agricultural and rural zones only. For a home on a city lot, send me the address and I’ll look up the zone.

Before you buy in Southwest Maple Ridge

  1. Check the flood and escarpment rules for the lot. Ask the City whether the address is in the floodplain or inside the escarpment policy area, and what the covenant on title requires, especially for a basement or an addition.
  2. Check what the Hammond plan allows nearby. Ask the City what the plan designations allow on the lots around the home, because new buildings can change a street.
  3. Confirm the school catchment. Ask SD42 for the exact address.
  4. Check the ALR on larger lots. Look up the address on the Agricultural Land Commission map before you plan anything on farmland.
  5. For a strata home, read the documents. The depreciation report, meeting minutes, bylaws and fees, plus any special levies.
  6. Get a full home inspection. Check the roof, drainage, furnace, plumbing and wiring.

What plan covers Southwest Maple Ridge?

The Hammond Area Plan was adopted on January 24, 2017 and updated on November 25, 2025. The City publishes no plan for Southwest Maple Ridge as a whole.

Is Southwest Maple Ridge in a floodplain or on a slope?

Hammond is bounded on the south by the Fraser River. The City’s Fraser River Escarpment policy area is bounded by 207 Street on the west, 124 Avenue on the north, 224 Street on the east and the crest of the Fraser River escarpment on the south. Inside that area, groundwater and surface drainage from additions, new construction and hard landscaping must connect to the City storm drainage system, which means a ditch or storm sewer. Plans, zoning and flood rules can be different for each lot.

What are the homes and lots like?

The City describes several early-1900s single-detached houses and a historic commercial area as prominent Hammond features. ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact address on the Agricultural Land Commission map. Lot size (MLS sales data, not an official source): the median lot size of detached houses sold between July 1 and October 8, 2026 was 7,200 sq ft, based on 28 sales with a recorded lot size.
