Yarrow, Chilliwack: Neighbourhood Guide

Neighbourhood guide · City of Chilliwack · Yarrow

Living in Yarrow

Yarrow is a community in Chilliwack, south of the Vedder River, and an MLS® sub-area name. The City doesn’t publish a boundary for it. The closest official description is the City’s Yarrow Neighbourhood Plan material: the neighbourhood is bordered by Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) land on all sides, by the Vedder River, the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve and Browne Creek Wetlands to the north, and by the BC Hydro Railway (Southern Railway of British Columbia) to the east. The City says Yarrow covers about 175 hectares. See all Chilliwack neighbourhood guides.

Facts come from the official sources noted on this page. Rules and boundaries change, so confirm anything important with the City of Chilliwack and School District 33.

Homes and land

What to look at in a Yarrow home

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

Official

Land use and servicingWhat the City says about Yarrow

Land use
The City describes Yarrow as primarily residential, with a commercial and institutional district in the centre
Designations
The City’s OCP designations show most of the village as Low Density Residential, several properties along Yarrow Central Road as General Commercial and some properties along No. 3 Road as General Industrial
Septic
The village is not on City sanitary sewer. The City’s Zoning Bylaw 2020, No. 5000 sets maximum gross floor areas for residential buildings to protect groundwater
Suites
An accessory dwelling unit needs a satisfactory independent hydrogeological assessment
Lot sizes
I did not find an official source for typical lot sizes of existing Yarrow homes
City septic guidelines page
MLS® data

Median lotDetached lot size

Median
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 15,355 sq ft, based on 4 sales with a recorded lot size.
Note
Only 4 sales, so treat this as a small sample
Buyers

Septic homesSeptic and floor-area rules

Look at
The septic system: its age, size and service records, and any permits on file
Ask
How the City’s maximum floor areas and the accessory-dwelling assessment rule apply before you plan an addition or suite
Watch for
Assuming a suite or addition is allowed because the lot looks big
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 suite was built with a permit
Watch for
Assuming you can add a suite or rebuild just because a neighbour did

Planning, zoning and flood

Planning and flood notes for Yarrow

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

  • The Yarrow Neighbourhood Plan was adopted by Council in 2022 and updated in 2025 as part of the Official Community Plan update. It is now Schedule B7 of the 2050 plan.
  • The City of Chilliwack’s 2050 Official Community Plan, Official Community Plan Bylaw 2025, No. 5500, was adopted on December 16, 2025.
  • The City’s Engage Chilliwack page says Yarrow is outside the City’s Urban Growth Boundary and is planned under a minimal-growth scenario.
  • The 2040 Official Community Plan, which the 2050 plan replaced, listed Yarrow as a Rural Settlement, with a policy to retain its existing boundary and limit growth to existing development areas.
  • ALR: the village is bordered by ALR land on all sides. The Agricultural Area Plan, Schedule B1 of the 2050 plan, covers the farmland around it. ALR status is set parcel by parcel.
  • Flood and ground: Yarrow is flat, low-lying land, and the City says the water table is close to the surface.
  • The Vedder River borders the village on its north side, along with the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve and Browne Creek Wetlands.
  • City floodplain mapping is based on the Province’s Fraser River flood levels from the 1894 flood of record, which the City describes as roughly a 1-in-500-year flood. The City updated its floodplain maps in 2007. Property-level flood status is checked address by address.
  • The City of Chilliwack is one of the partners, with the Province, Abbotsford and three First Nations, in the Sumas River Flood Mitigation Collaborative Framework, signed on April 28, 2023.

My Chilliwack 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 Yarrow

  1. Check the septic and floor-area rules first. Ask the City what the maximum floor area and the hydrogeological rule mean for any addition or suite on the exact lot.
  2. Check the flood level and the water table. Ask the City how the floodplain maps and its flood construction rules apply to the exact address.
  3. Look at what borders the lot. Farmland and farm operations border the village, so ask what is allowed beside the property.
  4. Confirm the school catchment. Use the SD33 School Locator for the exact address.
  5. Check what the plan allows nearby. Ask the City what the Yarrow Neighbourhood Plan allows on the lots around the home.
  6. Get a full home inspection. Check the roof, drainage, septic system, plumbing and wiring.

FAQ

Yarrow questions

Where is Yarrow?

Yarrow is a community in Chilliwack, south of the Vedder River, and an MLS® sub-area name. The City doesn’t publish a boundary for it. The closest official description is the Yarrow Neighbourhood Plan material: bordered by ALR land on all sides, by the Vedder River, the Great Blue Heron Nature Reserve and Browne Creek Wetlands to the north, and by the BC Hydro Railway to the east. These edges are not an official boundary, so ask me if a specific address is in it.

How do I get around from Yarrow?

BC Transit route 55 Yarrow–Greendale runs a loop from Vedder Rd at South Sumas Rd to the UFV Chilliwack campus, Yarrow and Greendale, on weekdays and Saturdays. Its timing points are Vedder Rd at South Sumas Rd, the UFV Chilliwack campus, Yarrow Central Rd at Kehler St and Greendale. BC Transit’s 2024 Chilliwack and FVRD Transit Future Action Plan proposes restructuring and combining routes 55 and 59. I did not find a date for it. See the route 55 page.

Which school is in Yarrow?

What parks and library are in Yarrow?

Yarrow Pioneer Park (2.5 hectares) has a playground, a skate park, a picnic area and washrooms, and hosts the annual Yarrow Days event. Yarrow Community Park (1.5 hectares) has tennis courts, basketball and a ball hockey area, and the Yarrow Library and Community Hall are in it. I did not find a City leisure centre in Yarrow.

What plan covers Yarrow?

The Yarrow Neighbourhood Plan, adopted by Council in 2022, updated in 2025 and now Schedule B7 of the 2050 Official Community Plan. The Engage Chilliwack page says Yarrow is outside the Urban Growth Boundary and planned under a minimal-growth scenario.

Is Yarrow in a floodplain?

Yarrow is flat, low-lying land, and the City says the water table is close to the surface. City floodplain mapping is based on the Province’s Fraser River flood levels from the 1894 flood of record, which the City describes as roughly a 1-in-500-year flood. The City updated its floodplain maps in 2007. Property-level flood status needs an address check with the City.

Do Yarrow homes have sewer, and is any of Yarrow in the ALR?

Homes in Yarrow have their own septic systems and are not on the City’s sanitary sewer. The Zoning Bylaw sets maximum gross floor areas for residential buildings to protect groundwater, and an accessory dwelling unit needs a satisfactory independent hydrogeological assessment. The village is bordered by ALR land on all sides. 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 15,355 sq ft, based on 4 sales with a recorded lot size. That is only 4 sales.
