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. With a benchmark home price around $746,200, Guildford remains one of the more affordable entry points in Metro Vancouver for families who want urban convenience close to major shopping and transit.
