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.
Crescent Park: The Hidden Forest of Old Money
You could drive right by Crescent Park and never know what’s behind the trees. And that’s exactly the point.
Tucked inside a 128-acre nature preserve, this area offers:
- 1 Acre lots and larger
- Long, gated driveways
- Tennis courts, resort-style pools, and multi-car garages
It’s not flashy. It’s private. Think generational wealth and old money elegance.

The Most Expensive Home in the Area? You’ve Never Seen It or Heard Of It—Until Now
This one’s never been listed. Never advertised. It sits quietly on Indian Fort Drive in Ocean Park.

📊 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 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?
