Community Overview

Living in Abbotsford

Abbotsford is the largest city in the Fraser Valley with a population of roughly 160,000. It blends a strong agricultural heritage — Abbotsford is home to more than half of BC's berry production — with a fast-growing urban core, the University of the Fraser Valley, and Abbotsford International Airport.

Neighbourhoods range from West Abbotsford and Aberdeen with newer townhomes and family homes, to historic East Abbotsford and Clearbrook with established detached neighbourhoods, to the rural acreages of Bradner and Mt. Lehman.

For buyers priced out of Langley, Abbotsford offers significantly more home for the money plus quick US border and Highway 1 access.
