Living in Cloverdale, Surrey

Small-town charm meets new development in Clayton Heights

A neighbourhood guide by AG. Song, REALTOR®

About Cloverdale

Cloverdale has two sides. The historic downtown core along 176th Street has a heritage feel — brick storefronts, the annual Cloverdale Rodeo, and character homes on large lots. Then there is Clayton Heights, one of the fastest-growing residential areas in all of Metro Vancouver, where new townhome and single-family developments go up every year.

Clayton Heights attracts young families who want new construction at prices lower than South Surrey or Vancouver. The area around 188th Street and 72nd Avenue is the development centre, with new schools, parks, and commercial space being built to match the population growth. Meanwhile, Cloverdale proper keeps its agricultural roots — the area is close to the Agricultural Land Reserve, and you can still find hobby farms and acreage properties. The Cloverdale Rodeo and Country Fair, held every Victoria Day weekend, is one of the biggest community events in the Fraser Valley.
