Where to buy a newly built home in Metro Vancouver

Every neighbourhood with enough newly built townhouses, half duplexes, and row houses on the market to describe honestly. What each one is actually like, what it costs, how far it sits from rapid transit, and what it asks you to give up.

The short answer

90 Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley neighbourhoods have enough newly built ground-oriented homes on the market to describe honestly. They run from $376 per square foot in Lower Landing to $1,434 in Kitsilano. 19 of them have a full guide covering the housing stock, transit position, and who the area suits.

What this hub will and will not tell you

Measured, and published

  • What homes cost, per square foot and in total
  • How big they are and how many bedrooms
  • Townhouse or half duplex, strata or freehold
  • Straight-line distance to the nearest rapid transit station
  • Strata fees, parking, pets, and heating type

Not measured, and not claimed

  • Whether the schools are good
  • Whether the area is safe
  • Whether the neighbourhood is pleasant
  • What prices will do next

A listing feed cannot support any of those, so this hub does not assert them. For schools, ask the district. For the rest, go and walk around.

Start with a region

Vancouver
Vancouver has more newly built ground-oriented homes on the market than any other city in the region, and the widest internal spread. Choosing a Vancouver neighbourhood is really choosing between two markets that share a name.
Surrey
Surrey is where the region delivers space. It has the second largest supply of newly built ground-oriented homes, the largest median home of any high-volume city, and roughly half Vancouver's price per square foot.
Burnaby
Burnaby has the largest newly built ground-oriented homes of any city in the region by median size, and a price per square foot well below Vancouver for a substantially bigger home.
Richmond
The most townhouse-dominated market in the region. Almost all of Richmond's newly built ground-oriented stock is in complexes rather than on rebuilt single family lots, which shapes the price, the monthly cost, and the way you live.
Coquitlam
Coquitlam splits into two markets that share a city hall. Burke Mountain is hillside suburban townhouse development. Coquitlam West is transit-oriented density near the Evergreen extension. They price differently and suit different people.
Langley
The most concentrated market in the region. The overwhelming majority of Langley's newly built ground-oriented listings sit in one neighbourhood, Willoughby Heights, which makes it unusually easy to compare like with like.
North Vancouver
The North Shore carries a modest but steady supply of newly built ground-oriented homes, the highest median strata fee in the region, and a geography that makes the commute the defining question.
The Fraser Valley
Abbotsford, Mission, Chilliwack, Hope, and Agassiz together form the lowest-priced part of this market by a wide margin, with the largest homes, the highest freehold share, and the longest commutes.
Delta, Ladner and Tsawwassen
South of the Fraser and west of Surrey, Delta and its communities carry large newly built homes at well below the regional price per square foot, in a part of the region with no rapid transit at all.
The Tri-Cities and Ridge Meadows
Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, and Maple Ridge form a corridor east of Burnaby where the Evergreen extension and the West Coast Express both run, and where prices fall sharply as you move east.

Neighbourhood guides

The 19 areas carrying the most newly built ground-oriented inventory. Each covers what the housing stock is actually like, the transit position, who the area suits, and what to check before you offer.

Willoughby Heights Langley
The largest single concentration of newly built ground-oriented homes anywhere in the region. Willoughby Heights carries the overwhelming majority of Langley's inventory on its own, which makes it the easiest place in Metro Vancouver to compare like with like.
Cambie Vancouver
The busiest newly built neighbourhood inside Vancouver, and the one that behaves least like the rest of the city. Cambie is townhouse territory rather than half duplex territory, because the Cambie Corridor plan allowed assembled sites along the Canada Line.
Grandview Heights Surrey
South Surrey's largest concentration of newly built ground-oriented homes, and the biggest single source of four bedroom inventory in the region. Grandview Heights is where a family budget goes furthest without leaving Metro Vancouver.
Grandview-Woodland Vancouver
East Vancouver's busiest newly built neighbourhood, and one of the few places in the city where new ground-oriented housing sits on established, walkable streets close to rapid transit.
Renfrew Vancouver
One of the clearest examples of what Vancouver's duplex rules actually built. Renfrew's newly built stock is almost entirely half duplexes on rebuilt single family lots, at a price per square foot well below the west side.
Burke Mountain Coquitlam
A hillside suburb built almost entirely in the last two decades, and Coquitlam's largest source of newly built townhouses. Burke Mountain is where the Tri-Cities put its family housing.
Coquitlam West Coquitlam
The transit-oriented half of Coquitlam. Coquitlam West is denser, closer to the Evergreen extension and the Burquitlam and Lougheed stations, and prices per square foot well above Burke Mountain up the hill.
Fraser Street Vancouver
An east side corridor neighbourhood rebuilding itself in half duplexes, with a walkable commercial strip and price per square foot above the eastern edge of the city but well below the west side.
Kitsilano Vancouver
The most expensive neighbourhood per square foot in this entire dataset. Kitsilano's newly built ground-oriented homes are mostly half duplexes, and what the money buys is the address rather than the floor area.
Kerrisdale Vancouver
An established west side neighbourhood with an unusual amount of newly built ground-oriented inventory for its price level, and a noticeably higher share of freehold homes than the rest of Vancouver.
Renfrew Heights Vancouver
The higher ground above Renfrew, with a similar half duplex rebuild pattern and a similar price level. Renfrew Heights is one of the more affordable ways into a newly built home inside Vancouver.
South Granville Vancouver
A west side neighbourhood with more townhouse inventory than most, sitting between the Cambie corridor and the more expensive west side addresses on price per square foot.
Killarney Vancouver
Southeast Vancouver, with a half duplex rebuild pattern, larger homes than most of the east side, and a higher share of freehold listings than the city norm.
Sullivan Station Surrey
One of Surrey's largest newly built townhouse areas, with among the largest median home sizes in the region and a very high share of four bedroom layouts.
Knight Vancouver
A east Vancouver corridor neighbourhood rebuilding in half duplexes, priced in the middle of the east side range, with a decent share of freehold listings.
Main Street Vancouver
One of Vancouver's most walkable commercial corridors, with newly built half duplexes on the residential streets either side and prices per square foot near the top of the east side range.
Hamilton Richmond
Richmond's eastern edge, against the Burnaby and New Westminster boundary. Hamilton is consistently the best value part of Richmond per square foot, and it is entirely townhouses.
East Abbotsford Abbotsford
The largest concentration of newly built ground-oriented homes in the Fraser Valley outside Mission, with among the largest median home sizes anywhere in this dataset and a high share of freehold listings.
Mission Mission
The lowest price per square foot of any high-volume market in this dataset, with large homes, a high freehold share, and a West Coast Express station connecting it to downtown Vancouver.

A dash means fewer than four active listings, which is too few to publish a figure for. Rows with four to seven listings show a range instead of a median.

Common questions

Which neighbourhood should I buy in?

That depends on three things this hub can help you weigh: how much floor area you need, how far you are willing to travel, and whether you want a townhouse in a complex or a half duplex on an established street. Each neighbourhood guide states what the area is, what it costs, and what it asks you to give up.

Do you rank neighbourhoods as good or bad?

No, and deliberately. We measure what homes cost, how big they are, what type they are, and how far they sit from rapid transit. We do not rate schools, safety, or character, because a listing feed cannot support those claims and a real neighbourhood is a real place full of real people. Where those things matter to you, the school district and a visit will tell you more than any website.

How do you decide which neighbourhoods get a page?

Inventory. An area needs four or more active newly built ground-oriented listings before any figure is published for it, and the full guides go to the areas carrying the most. Below four listings a single home moves the median enough to mislead, so those areas appear in the search filters rather than getting a page.

How is this different from the price pages?

The price hub answers what things cost, with tables. This hub answers where to look, with the character of the housing stock, the transit position, and who each area suits. If you already know the neighbourhood and want the number, start with the price hub.

How current is this?

Every figure is recalculated from active MLS® listings on each site build, and was last measured on 2026-10-09. The written descriptions of each area change far more slowly and are reviewed separately.
