WHY BUYERS CHOOSE WHITE ROCK

A Small Waterfront City, Mostly Apartments

White Rock is a separate city, incorporated on April 15, 1957, with its own beach, pier and hospital. 56 percent of its occupied homes are units in apartment buildings, so the first question is usually condo or house, and the second is how close to the water.

  • The Pier and the Promenade

    A 470 metre pier built in 1914, and a promenade that runs almost the length of the beach from East Beach to West Beach.

  • A Hospital Inside the City

    Fraser Health’s Peace Arch Hospital at 15521 Russell Avenue, open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

  • Highway 99 and the Border

    Highway 99 links White Rock with Vancouver to the north and with Interstate 5 through the Peace Arch crossing to the south.

  • Who White Rock Suits

    Buyers who want an apartment near the water. 37.3 percent of residents were 65 or over in 2021, and 44 percent of households were 1 person.
