South Surrey

Living & working in South Surrey

South Surrey is a suburban community in Metro Vancouver undergoing an urban transition toward denser, walkable multi-family nodes, as outlined in Surrey's 2050 Official Community Plan. While detached single-family homes form the historic backbone of the residential inventory, townhouses and low-rise condominiums are highly prevalent, especially along King George Boulevard between 20th and 24th Avenue, and in the growing Grandview Heights neighborhood. Daily lifestyle and retail activity center on key commercial corridors, including 152nd Street, 24th Avenue, and Croydon Drive, which host open-air shopping centers such as The Shops at Morgan Crossing, Peninsula Village, and the indoor Semiahmoo Shopping Centre. Preservation of green space is anchored by the 53-hectare Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest, the 33-hectare Crescent Park, and Redwood Park, which preserves 16 hectares of heritage redwood trees planted in 1895, alongside the developing 3-kilometer linear Nicomekl Riverfront Park.

The local business ecosystem is driven largely by the 1,900-acre Campbell Heights Business Park, a light-industrial and logistics hub situated in southeast Surrey that houses major operations such as Loblaw Companies Ltd.'s 420,000-square-foot western Canadian distribution centre, OK Tire, and Advanced Wire Products. Local remote-work infrastructure includes professional coworking and shared office facilities, such as Regus Surrey South at 15300 Croydon Drive, a second Regus location at 3211 152nd Street, and independent local alternatives like Kaffina Coffee on King George Boulevard. Commuter and freight connectivity to Vancouver and the broader region relies primarily on Highway 99 and Highway 15 (176th Street), the latter linking directly to the Pacific Highway U.S. Border Crossing. For public transit users, the South Surrey Park and Ride serves as the central hub, where the TransLink line 351 express bus provides a direct connection along Highway 99 to Bridgeport Station in Richmond, linking riders directly to the Canada Line SkyTrain.
