With a population of 18,250, White
Rock is located in the southwest corner of the Lower Mainland, forty-five
kilometres from Vancouver and only five minutes to the Canada/US border.
We are an exciting seaside community clustered around an eight kilometre
sandy beach and the warm shallow waters of Semiahmoo Bay.Click

Because of our moderate climate, White Rock is a preferred retirement
spot. Average summer

The waterfront includes a promenade that is two and a half kilometres,
fully accessible to the disabled and parents with strollers. The
heritage pier, train station, large beached "white rock" and
colourful sidewalk cafes create a special ambience throughout the
area.
Commercial meets residential along the waterfront as well as in the
Town Centre where you will find a number of apartment buildings with
retail
stores on the ground level. A variety of specialty shops dot White
Rock.
From single-family homes on small lots, to estate lots and multiple
family homes, White Rock has a wide selection of housing. Ocean views
from some
sites are breathtaking.
Commuting to Vancouver takes about one hour. Dedicated bus and high-occupancy
vehicle lanes make public transportation and car or vanpooling appealing.
White Rock has two primary schools and in association with neighbouring
South Surrey, there are four secondary schools.
Recreation facilities and programs are excellent. Some include the
Promenade and Centennial Park, with its ice arena, curling rink and
ravine trails.
The cities property values have steadily increased due to White Rock's
attractive setting and amenities.
