Whonnock, Maple Ridge: Neighbourhood Guide

Neighbourhood guide · City of Maple Ridge · Whonnock Lake and the Fraser River

Living in Whonnock

Whonnock is an MLS® sub-area name. The City of Maple Ridge doesn’t publish a boundary for it. The City’s Whonnock page lists Selvey Park, Whonnock Lake Park and Whonnock Lake Centre as the area’s facilities, and its heritage buildings sit along River Road, 272 Street and Lougheed Highway. The City says Whonnock remains a rural residential area where many people have horses and maintain small tree and fruit farms. The City says the name comes from the local First Nation word meaning “place of the hump-back salmon.”.

Homes and land

What to look at in a Whonnock home

What the official sources say about the homes and lots, then the questions I go through with buyers.

Official

City sourcesWhat the City says

Setting
The City describes Whonnock as a rural residential area where many people have horses and maintain small tree and fruit farms
Waterfront
The City says lumberyards and mills continue to be active on the waterfront, on a smaller scale than before
Rural Residential
The Official Community Plan describes Rural Residential lots as generally 0.8 hectares (about 2 acres) where community water is available and 2.0 hectares (about 4.9 acres) where water is on site, and Suburban and Estate Suburban lots as generally 0.4 hectares (about 1 acre)
Which applies
I did not find a City statement of which designation applies to each lot here, so ask the City for the exact address.
City Whonnock page
Buyers

DetachedHouses

Look at
Lot size, the age of the roof, furnace, plumbing and wiring, and drainage
Ask
What the zone allows, and whether any additions or renovations were done with a permit
Watch for
Assuming you can add to or rebuild the home just because a neighbour did
Buyers

Acreage and rural homesWater, septic and access

Look at
Where the water comes from (a well or a water service), the septic system, drainage and the driveway and road access
Ask
For well and septic records and the last inspection, and what the zone and the ALR status allow on the land
Watch for
Assuming you can add a second home, a barn or a business use because a neighbour has one

Planning, zoning and flood

Planning and flood notes for Whonnock

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

  • Official Community Plan Chapter 3 sets the rural designations that cover land outside the Urban Area Boundary. I did not find a City statement that lists Whonnock by name.
  • The City says it adopted updates to the Official Community Plan and the area plans for Albion, Hammond, Silver Valley and Town Centre in November 2025. I found no area plan for Whonnock.
  • The City’s Official Community Plan describes three rural residential designations outside the Urban Area Boundary. Rural Residential lots are generally 0.8 hectares (about 2 acres) where community water is available and 2.0 hectares (about 4.9 acres) where water is on site. Suburban Residential lots are generally 0.4 hectares (about 1 acre), and Estate Suburban Residential lots are also generally 0.4 hectares.
  • ALR: I did not find an official statement placing Agricultural Land Reserve land inside Whonnock. ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact address on the Agricultural Land Commission map.
  • I found no flood designation written for Whonnock. The City publishes a Be Flood Ready guide, a Fraser River Floodplain Map and a monitoring page for river levels.
  • The City monitors rainfall and water levels in the Fraser River, the North and South Alouette River and Kanaka Creek.
  • The City says some parts of Maple Ridge face landslides and debris flows, and that melting snowpacks combined with warm weather can create landslides. I found no slope area named for Whonnock, so check the City’s maps for the exact address.
  • Whonnock has no West Coast Express station. The West Coast Express has two Maple Ridge stops, Maple Meadows Station and Port Haney Station, with five trips daily, leaving Maple Ridge in the morning and returning in the evening, Monday to Friday.

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 Whonnock

  1. Check the OCP designation and zone. Ask the City which Official Community Plan designation and zone apply to the exact lot, and whether any heritage listing applies to the property.
  2. Check the floodplain and river rules. Ask the City what the Fraser River floodplain and flood construction rules mean for the exact address, especially along River Road and Lougheed Highway.
  3. Check the water, septic and access. Ask who supplies the water, ask for well and septic records, and check how the property is reached in winter.
  4. Check the ALR and the zone. Look up the address on the Agricultural Land Commission map and ask the City what the zone allows before you plan anything on the land.
  5. Confirm the school catchment. Ask SD42 for the exact address.
  6. Get a full home inspection. Check the roof, drainage, furnace, plumbing and wiring, and have the well water tested if there is a well.

FAQ

Whonnock questions

Where is Whonnock?

Whonnock is an MLS® sub-area name. The City of Maple Ridge doesn’t publish a boundary for it. The City’s Whonnock page lists Selvey Park, Whonnock Lake Park and Whonnock Lake Centre as its facilities, with heritage buildings along River Road, 272 Street and Lougheed Highway.

How do I get around from Whonnock?

Route 749, Ruskin / Haney Place, is a loop from Haney Place to 280 Street at Lougheed Highway and back. Going out it uses Dewdney Trunk Road, 284 Street and 116 Avenue, and coming back it uses Lougheed Highway, 272 Street and Dewdney Trunk Road. Timetable dates: 749, effective June 8, 2026. Check the current timetable. Whonnock has no West Coast Express station. The West Coast Express has two Maple Ridge stops, Maple Meadows Station and Port Haney Station, with five trips daily, leaving Maple Ridge in the morning and returning in the evening, Monday to Friday.

Which schools are in Whonnock?

Whonnock Elementary, K-7, is at 27471 112 Avenue. I found no secondary school in Whonnock; Garibaldi Secondary, Grades 8-12, is at 24789 Dewdney Trunk Road. Catchments are set by address, so confirm a specific address with School District 42 (SD42).

What parks and library are there?

Whonnock Lake Park and Whonnock Lake Centre are at 27871 113 Avenue, and Selvey Park is at 27101 106 Avenue. The Maple Ridge Public Library is at 130 – 22470 Dewdney Trunk Road, and it is the only Fraser Valley Regional Library branch in Maple Ridge.

What plan covers Whonnock?

I found no area plan for Whonnock. The Official Community Plan’s rural designations apply to land outside the Urban Area Boundary.

Is Whonnock in a floodplain or on a slope?

I found no flood or slope statement written for Whonnock in the City’s sources. The City publishes a North and South Alouette River Floodplain Map and a Fraser River Floodplain Map, and says a floodplain map outlines the area expected to flood on average once every 200 years. Plans, zoning and flood rules can be different for each lot.

What are the homes and lots like?

The City describes Whonnock as a rural residential area where many people have horses and maintain small tree and fruit farms. The City’s Official Community Plan describes three rural residential designations outside the Urban Area Boundary. Rural Residential lots are generally 0.8 hectares (about 2 acres) where community water is available and 2.0 hectares (about 4.9 acres) where water is on site. Suburban Residential lots are generally 0.4 hectares (about 1 acre), and Estate Suburban Residential lots are also generally 0.4 hectares. ALR status is set parcel by parcel, so check the exact address on the Agricultural Land Commission map. I don’t have lot-size data for this area.
