White Rock Homes for Sale – Condos, Townhomes & Single‑Family Homes
White Rock is one of the smallest cities in Metro Vancouver by land area, wrapped around Semiahmoo Bay and anchored by the 470‑metre White Rock Pier — built in 1914 and billed by the city's own signage as Canada's longest pier. Though Surrey surrounds it on the north, east, and west, White Rock has governed itself as an independent city since 1957, with its own council, its own hospital, and a beach‑town character that sets it apart from its much larger neighbour. With hundreds of active listings, prices range from smaller condos to homes on the bluff or waterfront. Whether you're after a condo steps from the promenade, a character home up the hill, or something in between, White Rock offers about as short a walk to the water as anywhere in the Lower Mainland.

Why White Rock? – The Beach, the Pier & an Independent City
White Rock trades size for waterfront — and most residents wouldn't trade back.
🌉 Canada's Longest Pier
White Rock Pier stretches 470 metres into Semiahmoo Bay. Built in 1914, the city's own signage bills it as Canada's longest pier, a title it shares — depending who's counting — with a wharf in Quebec.
🏖️ The Waterfront Promenade
A long oceanfront walkway lined with restaurants and cafes on Marine Drive is the social heart of the city, especially at sunset.
🏙️ One of Metro Vancouver's Smallest Cities
At just over 5 square kilometres, White Rock is among the smallest municipalities in the region — you can walk from the hill down to the beach in about 15 minutes.
🚫 No SkyTrain
White Rock has no direct SkyTrain access; residents rely on bus connections and Highway 99, about 45 minutes to downtown Vancouver by car.
🏥 Peace Arch Hospital
The city has its own hospital, serving both White Rock and neighbouring South Surrey.
🗳️ An Independent City Since 1957
White Rock split off from the District of Surrey in 1957 and has governed itself ever since, even though Surrey surrounds it on three sides.
📚 Schools
Public schools fall under School District 36, the same district that covers Surrey.
🌅 Sunsets Over Semiahmoo Bay
The pier and promenade face almost due west, making White Rock one of the best sunset‑watching spots in the Lower Mainland.
"White Rock is the smallest city on this list, and that's really the whole story — most buyers here aren't choosing between neighbourhoods so much as choosing between the beach and the hill. As an engineer, I pay close attention to the pier's history: it's been damaged and rebuilt more than once after winter storms, which tells you something about building this close to the water. I walk clients through what that history means for any waterfront property, condo or house, before they make an offer."— Nader Bakhoum, PMP, P.Eng.
Frequently Asked Questions About White Rock Real Estate
White Rock's small size means very little new land ever comes to market, which has historically helped values hold up well — though it also means prices per square foot near the water rank among the highest in the Fraser Valley. Talk to Nader for a current‑day read on a specific street.
BC's property transfer tax is 1% on the first $200,000, 2% from $200,000 to $2,000,000, 3% from $2,000,000 to $3,000,000, and a further 2% (5% total) on any residential value above $3,000,000. White Rock's higher average price points mean fewer purchases qualify for the first‑time buyer exemption (full up to an $835,000 fair market value, partial to $860,000), though condos away from the waterfront can still fall within range.
