About the Neighbourhood
Living in
North Surrey
North Surrey offers the most urban living experience in the city, with direct SkyTrain access at Gateway and Surrey Central stations and proximity to New Westminster and Burnaby. The area includes established residential streets with single-family homes as well as a rapidly growing inventory of newer high-rise and mid-rise developments near the transit corridor.
The neighbourhood straddles the border between Surrey's suburban character and genuine urban living. Near the SkyTrain stations, you will find condo towers, mixed-use developments, and the density that comes with rapid transit. A few blocks away, quiet residential streets with older single-family homes offer a completely different feel — often at prices well below what comparable proximity to transit would cost in Vancouver or Burnaby.
For commuters, North Surrey is hard to beat. The SkyTrain gets you to downtown Vancouver in about 40 minutes, and the proximity to the Pattullo Bridge means New Westminster and Burnaby are just minutes away. The area is undergoing significant change, with investment in civic infrastructure and new development reshaping the streetscape year by year.

Getting Around
North Surrey is the transit hub of the city. Gateway Station and Surrey Central Station on the Expo Line provide direct SkyTrain service to New Westminster, Burnaby, and downtown Vancouver in approximately 40 minutes. Scott Road Station serves the western edge of the area.
Frequent bus routes fan out from the SkyTrain stations to all parts of Surrey. The 96 B-Line and multiple express routes make North Surrey one of the best-connected communities in the entire Fraser Valley for transit-dependent commuters.
For drivers, the Pattullo Bridge connects to New Westminster, Highway 1 is accessible via the King George interchange, and major arterial roads provide good circulation throughout the city. The planned replacement of the Pattullo Bridge will further improve vehicle connectivity.
