3 South Surrey Townhomes That Actually Hold Their Value

Sick of South Surrey townhomes that look great online but flop in real life?

Most listings are all flash. Perfect photos, slick marketing… then you see them in person and the dream shatters fast. Cramped layouts. Awkward locations. Cheap finishes that age overnight.

I’m a local South Surrey REALTOR® who’s seen this market inside out for over a decade. And I’m going to save you from buyer’s remorse. This post breaks down 3 townhome complexes under $1 Million that actually make sense long-term.

Let’s cut through the noise.

The Problem Nobody Talks About

Here’s the ugly truth: New doesn’t mean better.

Over the past 20 years, developers rushed to cash in on South Surrey’s boom. Many had zero track record. They jammed projects into noisy streets, shaved costs on materials, and slapped “modern” layouts on paper that feel like shoeboxes when you live in them.

Reality Check: MLS photos hide build quality. Resale value doesn’t.

What Smart Buyers Look For

Imagine walking out your front door and actually living in your neighborhood. Morning coffee at a local café, groceries around the corner, kids biking to school, and no freeway commute to get basics.

That’s what separates the winners from the rest. The best complexes combine:

• Walkable location near schools, shops, parks
• Solid build quality from proven developers
• Well-designed layouts that feel like real homes
• Amenities that make life easier (pools, gyms, clubhouses)
• Resale demand that stays strong even in slow markets

Pro Tip: Buy for where you’ll spend your time, not just where the price seems low.

Glenmore: The Quiet All-Rounder (2450 161A Street, Surrey)

Glenmore; sits on the corner of 24th and 161A Street in Morgan Heights, and it nails the fundamentals.

It’s flat, walkable, and across the street from Grandview Corners. You can walk to groceries, gyms, and dinner out. The layouts are smart and spacious, with fewer shared walls for privacy. Built by Intracorp in 2008, it still looks sharp today.

Did You Know? Glenmore units often sell faster than newer ones nearby because of their location and proven build.

Highland Park: Resort Living Under $1 Million (2501 161A Street, Surrey)

Highland Park is just around the corner from Glenmore, built by the same developer. It has that upscale, established feel most new builds can’t fake.

Wide green walkways, mature trees, and homes that feel like houses, not boxes. Nine-foot ceilings, hardwood floors, and even little yards on end units. You get a pool, gym, hot tub, yoga studio, and indoor hockey rink… all without leaving your block.

Quick Stat: Most 3-bed homes here land around $850,000–$900,000 with a range of 1,150 to 1,400 SQFT.

Kaladen: The Top Pick (2729 158 Street, Surrey)

Kaladen; located on the corner of 27th and 158 Street, is the crown jewel. Built by Polygon, tucked into a quiet hillside yet steps from Morgan Crossing.

It blends elegance and livability: center islands, panelled fridges, granite counters, and private raised yards right off the kitchen. That detail alone changes everything. Most townhomes force you through the garage to reach your yard. Kaladen’s design makes outdoor space part of your daily life.

Plus, the Evergreen Clubhouse brings resort perks: pool, hot tub, gym, yoga, guest suites, even a media room.

Reality Check: Once you’ve had a yard off your kitchen, you’ll never go back.

The Bottom Line

South Surrey’s market is shifting. The best value isn’t in the flashiest new builds, it’s in proven communities that keep selling for a premium.

Act early and you get location, lifestyle, and long-term growth. Wait too long and they’ll be gone or well over $1 Million.
