About Guildford

Guildford is one of Surrey's most densely populated areas, with a population of about 70,570 residents. The neighbourhood is centred around Guildford Town Centre at 104th Avenue and 152nd Street — the third-largest mall in British Columbia with over 1.2 million square feet of retail and 250+ stores, including Walmart, London Drugs, Old Navy, Uniqlo, and a 12-screen Landmark Cinemas. The Guildford Exchange transit hub outside the mall serves 12 bus routes, making it one of Surrey's best-connected commercial areas.

The residential areas around the mall mix older single-family homes from the 1960s-70s with newer condo and townhome developments. Highway 1 (Trans-Canada) runs along the north edge, giving fast access to Vancouver (30-40 minutes) or the Fraser Valley eastbound. Fraser Heights, to the north of Highway 1, is a premium sub-area with larger homes and Fraser River valley views. For buyers the draw is convenience — mall, bus exchange, and highway on-ramps within minutes — in a part of Surrey where condos and townhomes still make up a large share of the entry-level stock. Current benchmark pricing for the board area Guildford reports inside, with its source and reporting month, is in the market trend chart further down this page.

Transit & Getting Around

Guildford does not have its own SkyTrain station, but the Guildford Exchange bus hub outside the mall connects to Surrey Central and King George SkyTrain stations in about 10-15 minutes via multiple routes. TransLink operates 12 bus routes through the exchange, making it one of the busiest bus hubs in Surrey. Highway 1 (Trans-Canada) on-ramps at 152nd and 160th Street are within a 5-minute drive, providing fast access to Vancouver, Burnaby, and the Fraser Valley.

Shopping & Dining

Guildford Town Centre is the neighbourhood's retail anchor — an enclosed regional mall with a cinema multiplex, a large food court, and anchors including Walmart, London Drugs, Old Navy, and Uniqlo. Outside the mall, 104th Avenue and 152nd Street corridors have strip malls, grocery stores (T&T Supermarket, Save-On-Foods), and diverse restaurants representing Korean, Indian, Chinese, and Middle Eastern cuisines.

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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Guildford

What is the average home price in Guildford?

FVREB does not publish a Guildford-specific benchmark, so a "Guildford average" quoted anywhere has been assembled from something other than board data. The chart higher up this page shows the board series Guildford reports inside, captioned with its source and the months it covers. In practice the neighbourhood carries three fairly distinct segments: condos and older low-rise around the mall, townhomes on the surrounding blocks, and detached homes from the 1960s and 1970s on the residential streets. Fraser Heights, north of Highway 1, is a different story again — bigger lots, newer builds, river-valley views. Ask AG. Song to price a specific address against its comparables.

Is Guildford good for transit?

Guildford has excellent bus service through the Guildford Exchange hub with 12 TransLink routes, but no SkyTrain station in the neighbourhood itself. Buses connect to Surrey Central and King George SkyTrain stations in about 10-15 minutes. Highway 1 access is excellent for drivers heading to Vancouver or the Fraser Valley.

What schools are in Guildford?

Guildford is served by Surrey School District 36, with Guildford Park Secondary and Fraser Heights Secondary as the main high schools. Several elementary schools serve the area including Riverdale, Bonaccord, Guildford, and Hjorth Road Elementary.

What is at Guildford Town Centre?

Guildford Town Centre is the enclosed regional mall at 104th Avenue and 152nd Street, and it is the retail centre of gravity for north Surrey. Anchors include Walmart, London Drugs, Old Navy, and Uniqlo, alongside a cinema multiplex, a large food court, and a full run of fashion, electronics, and service tenants. For buyers the practical point is walkability: the condo and townhome stock immediately around the mall puts groceries, the Guildford Exchange bus hub, and everyday services inside a ten-minute walk, which is unusual outside Surrey City Centre. Tenant mix turns over, so check the mall's own store directory before you plan a trip around a specific store.
