About Bear Creek

Bear Creek is defined by its park — a 60+ acre green space that is one of the most unique neighbourhood parks in Metro Vancouver. Bear Creek Park has a miniature train ride, mini-golf, a free outdoor swimming pool, a water spray park, a skate park, a climbing wall, nature trails with salmon viewing and eagle nests, and sports fields. No other Surrey neighbourhood has this concentration of free family recreation.

The surrounding residential area is a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, and apartments with a diverse, multicultural community. Green Timbers Urban Forest borders the area to the south, adding even more green space. Surrey Central SkyTrain station is walkable (about 20 minutes) or reachable by several bus routes. Bear Creek Market at 140th Street handles daily shopping needs, with Guildford Town Centre and Whalley's commercial strip both nearby.

What clients say about working with AG. Song

5.0from 3 Google reviews
Angela Song is a friend and a very professional realtor agent. She listens to our needs and requests, and assists us with our choices instead of imposing her opinions over us. She helped us purchase our first property in Surrey Fleetwood area five years ago. When we decided to move last year, she is on top of our mind. Her suggestions of time and listing price were so wise that we were able to sell our townhouse after one open house. I definitely recommend you to look for her help if you have any needs for selling or purchasing properties.
