Community Overview

Living in White Rock

White Rock is a small seaside city of roughly 22,000 residents, tucked between South Surrey and the US border. It is best known for its 470-metre wooden pier — the longest in Canada — and its 8 km of sandy beach along Semiahmoo Bay.

The city has a uniquely walkable, village-like feel: low-rise apartments and heritage homes climb the hillside, while Marine Drive and Johnston Road host independent restaurants, cafés, and boutiques. The community skews slightly older, but young families and downsizers are driving renewed demand for ocean-view condos and townhomes.

White Rock enjoys one of the mildest microclimates in Canada and an enviable quality of life within easy reach of YVR, the border, and downtown Vancouver.
