Where Do White Rock’s Ultra-Wealthy Really Live? (It’s Not Where You Think)

Where Do White Rock’s Ultra-Wealthy Really Live?

Most people assume that the priciest real estate in BC is tucked away in West Vancouver or downtown high-rises. But let me show you why White Rock and South Surrey are where the real power players are buying—and why they’re doing it quietly.

We’re talking about oceanfront estates, private golf course retreats, and luxury homes so exclusive they’ve never even hit the public market.


Why the Ultra-Wealthy Choose White Rock & South Surrey

Let’s be real. If you’ve got $5,000,000 to drop on a house, you’ve got options. So why here?

Because unlike downtown Vancouver, where you’re packed in like sardines, White Rock and South Surrey offer privacy, space, and insane views.

  • A $5,000,000 home here gets you what $15,000,000 won’t buy in West Vancouver.
  • You’re still under an hour to Vancouver and minutes from the U.S. border.
  • Plus: top private schools, ocean air, and legit small-town charm.

This isn’t just luxury—it’s lifestyle leverage.

People think White Rock is more “affordable.” Here’s the truth:

This one’s never been listed. Never advertised. It sits quietly on Indian Fort Drive in Ocean Park.

🏡 Nearly 3.0 acres
💵 Assessed at $19,600,000
📊 Ranked #105 most valuable residence in all of British Columbia

This home is a legacy asset, not just a place to live. Think—passed down, not put on the market.


So… Where Would You Live If You Had the Means?

Would you choose:

  • A secluded estate in Crescent Park?
  • A golf course retreat in Morgan Creek?
  • A bluff-top oceanfront mansion on Marine Drive?

Or would you hold out for a once-in-a-generation trophy property like the one on Indian Fort?
