Whalley condos are apartment units in strata buildings, most of them in and around Surrey City Centre near the SkyTrain. Every price range shows here, from older low-rise buildings to newer towers, so you can compare them in one place. To learn the neighbourhood first, read my Whalley guide.
Written by Jared Gibbons, REALTOR®
Most condos in Whalley are within walking distance of a SkyTrain station, and that's often why buyers start here. Before you firm up, I go through the strata's paperwork with you, line by line. I've been a REALTOR® since 2015 with more than $500M in sales, and I'm in the top 1% of Fraser Valley Realtors. I'm also proud of 10 straight years in the FVREB Medallion Club.
In Paragon, the MLS® system local REALTORS® use, Whalley is a sub-area of North Surrey, and it takes in Surrey City Centre. The feed is limited to apartment-style condos, since most of North Surrey's condos are here. Below it, you'll find what the City Centre Plan means for condo buyers, how the SkyTrain connects the area, and what to read in the strata records before you buy.
Whalley is in the City of Surrey, so Surrey's bylaws and plans apply. City Centre is its core. The City of Surrey's City Centre Plan describes the area as changing from a suburban town centre into a walkable, transit-oriented downtown for the area south of the Fraser River. Learn more about the plans for the area on my Surrey land use plans page.
The City is updating the plan. The update enables more transit-oriented development around the SkyTrain stations, plans for more parks and amenities, and allows more growth in the Bolivar Heights area next door. If you'd like more space and a yard, my Bolivar Heights homes for sale page lists homes just north of City Centre.
Three Expo Line stations serve Whalley: Gateway, Surrey Central and King George. Many condo buildings in City Centre are a short walk from one of them, so you can commute without a car. If transit matters to you, start your search with the buildings closest to a station.
The Province is also building the Surrey Langley SkyTrain. It extends the Expo Line from King George Station along Fraser Highway to Langley City. For condo owners in Whalley, that means the same line will reach further east into Surrey and Langley.
When you buy a Whalley condo, you're buying a strata lot: your unit, plus a share of everything else in the building. The roof, lobby, elevators, parkade and gardens are common property, owned together by all the owners through the strata corporation. An elected council handles the budget, sets the monthly fees and enforces the bylaws. In a tower, your balcony and parking stall may be limited common property, meaning they're for your use only. The strata plan shows what's assigned to your unit.
The Form B: Information Certificate is the strata's official snapshot of a unit and the building. A buyer, an owner or someone they authorize can request it, and the strata has 7 days to provide it. Look for the monthly fee, any money the seller still owes, special levies already approved, and the contingency reserve fund balance. Attached you should find the budget, the rules and, if there is one, the latest depreciation report.
A strata with five or more lots has to get a depreciation report every five years in BC. It's a 30-year forecast of what the building's parts will cost to repair or replace. In a newer City Centre tower, check what it says about elevators, mechanical systems and the parkade, then compare it with the reserve fund balance on the Form B.

Pick the station you want to be near, and I'll help you shortlist buildings around it. Then we read the strata records together: the Form B, the depreciation report and the minutes. If anything needs a closer look from the strata manager or a lawyer, I'll flag it, all before your subjects come off.
