Grandview Heights
The 2026 Surrey Neighbourhood Guide
What Grandview Heights Actually Is
Grandview Heights sits in central South Surrey between 24 Ave & 40 Ave, from 152 St east to 184 St. To the north is the Sunnyside Acres Forest line at 32 Ave, to the south the King George Corridor & Pacific Douglas, to the west Sunnyside Park & Crescent Park, & to the east the Hazelmere ALR & Pacific Douglas. The neighbourhood is the result of the City of Surrey's Grandview Heights Neighbourhood Concept Plan, which has been guiding the area's build-out since the early 2000s.
The housing footprint is overwhelmingly 2010s & 2020s new-build detached + townhouse + duplex, with very little pre-2005 stock. Subdivisions like Morgan Heights, Grandview Living, Beacon Hill, & Edgewood dominate. The area is also home to the largest single concentration of active townhouse presales in the Lower Mainland, with new launches running continuously through the year.
The Bottom Line
Grandview Heights is the active growth pocket of South Surrey: 24 Ave to 40 Ave between 152 St & 184 St, a planned-community zone that has built out from farmland into 1 of the fastest-growing new-home markets in the Lower Mainland over the past 15 years. Anchored by Grandview Corners shopping & Grandview Heights Secondary, with continuous townhouse & detached presale launches. Detached benchmarks $1.7 Million to $2.4 Million, townhouses $820,000 to $1.1 Million. If you want new construction, planned-community feel, & top schools, this is the play.

Who Grandview Heights Is Best For
Grandview Heights is the obvious answer for buyers who want new construction & planned-community living in South Surrey. The 4 buyer types who consistently land here:
- •New-Build Detached Families: buyers wanting 2015 or newer 4 to 5-bed detached with double garage, finished basement, & energy-efficient construction.
- •Townhouse Move-Up Families: first-time detached buyers stepping out of inner-Surrey condos into 3-bed townhouses with double garage in newer complexes.
- •Presale Speculators & Investors: continuous presale pipeline at $750 to $1,000 per sqft for townhouses & $1,000 to $1,300 per sqft for detached supports active investor activity.
- •Empty-Nester Downsizers: detached owners selling out of older South Surrey or White Rock & moving into newer 3-bed townhouses with strata maintenance.
Real Estate & Housing in Grandview Heights
The Grandview Heights market is overwhelmingly new-build & near-new product. 2015+ detached on 4,000 to 6,500 sqft lots typically runs $1.7 Million to $2.1 Million. Trophy detached on larger 6,500 to 10,000 sqft lots in the Morgan Heights & Beacon Hill subdivisions sits $2.1 Million to $2.4 Million+. Some 2020s+ rebuilds & estate-style new-builds push higher.
Townhouse product is the headline market. 2015+ 3-bed townhouses with double garage typically run $820,000 to $1.1 Million, depending on size, finish, & subdivision. Older 2005 to 2010 townhouses trade $750,000 to $950,000. Presale launches price at $750 to $1,000 per sqft for typical 3-bed product, with deposit structures of 5-10-15-20 percent across 18 to 30 months.
What's actively selling in 2026: well-located 2015+ detached under $2 Million with school-catchment proximity, newer 3-bed townhouses with double garage in Morgan Heights & Edgewood, & well-priced presales in solid developer hands. What sits: oversized rebuilds priced like Elgin Chantrell, & older 2005 to 2010 townhouses with deferred strata maintenance & assessment risk.
Schools & Families
Grandview Heights Secondary at 28 Ave & 168 St is the high-school anchor, opened in 2021 & quickly establishing strong academic & athletic programs. Earl Marriott Secondary serves the western edge near Sunnyside Park. At the elementary level, Pacific Heights, Edgewood, Sunnyside, & Rosemary Heights are the primary catchments. Southridge School private K-12 sits at 32 Ave & 152 St on the western edge.
For families, Sunnyside Acres Urban Forest on the northern boundary gives real second-growth Douglas Fir canopy & multi-use trails. Hazelmere Park on the eastern edge offers playing fields & off-leash dog space. Rosemary Heights Forest & Crescent Park Forest round out the green-space network. The newer school footprint, modern playgrounds, & wide pedestrian corridors are intentionally family-oriented in the planned-community design.
Commute & Getting Around
Grandview Heights' commute story leans on Highway 99 for north-bound traffic & on 32 Ave & 40 Ave for east-west connectivity. Real-world drive times: 35 to 50 minutes into downtown Vancouver via Massey Tunnel off-peak, 15 to 25 minutes to Surrey City Centre via King George, 8 to 12 minutes to White Rock or Morgan Crossing, & 10 to 15 minutes to Tsawwassen ferries.
Transit access is improving but still bus-dominant. The R6 RapidBus on King George provides the frequent spine, with multiple local routes connecting Grandview Corners to Surrey Central exchange. SkyTrain access requires a 25 to 35-minute drive or bus-then-train pattern. Most residents are car-first, with 2 cars per household being typical.
Lifestyle, Shopping, & Amenities
Grandview Corners at 24 Ave & 160 St is the headline commercial anchor: Walmart, Costco, Best Buy, Home Depot, Save-On, Shoppers, Cineplex, restaurants, & big-box retail clustered together in a power-centre format. Morgan Crossing at 24 Ave & 152 St 5 minutes west is the open-air lifestyle-mall counterpart, with Whole Foods (now Save-On), restaurants, & boutique retail. For day-to-day amenities, The Shops at Morgan Crossing covers cafes, restaurants, fitness studios, banks, & professional services. South Point Annex on 24 Ave between the 2 corners adds a third commercial cluster. The combined Grandview Corners + Morgan Crossing + South Point footprint is the largest concentrated retail node in South Surrey & arguably 1 of the largest in the entire Lower Mainland outside the downtowns.
Outdoors & Recreation
For everyday lifestyle, the planned community design includes Hazelmere Park, Edgewood Park, & a network of greenway trails connecting subdivisions to schools & shopping. Sunday-morning energy in Grandview Corners is strong, & the area has matured from greenfield subdivision to a real community over the past decade.
