Neighbourhood guide · City of White Rock
Living in White Rock, BC
White Rock is its own city, separate from Surrey, set above the sandy beach and shallow water of Semiahmoo Bay. It covers 5.12 square kilometres and has 21,939 residents, and it was established as a city in 1957. White Rock sits on the unceded territory of the Semiahmoo First Nation, who call the white boulder on the beach P’Quals. The waterfront, Five Corners and Uptown each have shops, restaurants and services. Homes range from strata buildings to houses on the hillside, so the view, the slope and the strata papers usually need as much attention as the home itself.

Homes and land
What to look at in a White Rock home
Strata
Apartments and townhomes Read the documents
- Look at
- Strata fees, the depreciation report, recent minutes and the bylaws
- Ask
- About special levies, envelope or roof work, parking and storage
- Watch for
- Pet or age rules that do not fit your plans
Hillside
Sloped lots Views and grades
- Look at
- Stairs, the driveway grade, retaining walls and drainage
- Ask
- What the zone allows on the lots below you, and what height limits apply
- Watch for
- Paying for a view a future project could block
Houses
Older homes Rebuild or renovate
- Look at
- Lot size, the zone, and the age of the roof, wiring and plumbing
- Ask
- Whether any suite was permitted, and what the zone allows if you rebuild
- Watch for
- Assuming a rezoning nearby means the same is possible on your lot
Planning and zoning
Zoning in White Rock
- White Rock’s Zoning Bylaw 2024, No. 2506 is the bylaw in force. The City’s consolidated copy is current to June 2026.
- The bylaw lists the rezonings since adoption, including several RS-1 lots rezoned to RS-2 to allow two-lot subdivisions.
- The bylaw’s single-family zones carry small-scale multi-unit housing (SSMUH) provisions. Ask the City how they apply to a specific lot.
- On hillside lots, height limits, slope and views shape what can be built, so read the zone for the exact lot.
Read the White Rock zoning bylaw or start at the City of White Rock website.
Before you buy in White Rock
- Use White Rock’s bylaw. Confirm the zone with the City of White Rock, not with Surrey.
- Read the strata package. Depreciation report, two years of minutes, bylaws and fees, plus any special levies.
- Stand on the lot below. Ask what could be built in front of a view, and check stairs, drainage and retaining walls.
- Check parking. Near the waterfront parking can be tight. Confirm what stalls come with the home.
- Check the school. White Rock’s two elementary schools lead to different secondary schools.
- Compare with Surrey neighbours. I’ll show you how White Rock compares with Crescent Beach Ocean Park and Pacific Douglas for your budget.
