About Fort Langley

Fort Langley is the birthplace of British Columbia. The Hudson's Bay Company established a trading post here in 1827, and the village has kept its heritage character ever since. Strict architectural guidelines protect the historic downtown along Glover Road and Mavis Avenue, giving Fort Langley a look and feel you will not find anywhere else in the Fraser Valley.

The village has over 80 independent shops, galleries, restaurants, and cafes in a compact, walkable core. The Fort Langley National Historic Site draws 40,000+ visitors a year. Real estate here is premium — single-family homes average over $2M, well above the Langley average. Buyers pay for character homes on large lots, river access, and a tight-knit community. The annual Cranberry Festival in October draws thousands. Fort Langley is small, quiet, and deliberate about staying that way.

“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.”
