About Newton

Newton is the most populated community in Surrey, home to over 140,000 residents. The area stretches from King George Boulevard in the west to 152nd Street in the east, and from 72nd Avenue south to 56th Avenue. Newton Town Centre at 72nd and King George is the commercial hub, with a community centre, library, shopping, and restaurants. The housing stock is mixed — older ranchers and split-levels on large lots sit next to newer townhome complexes and low-rise condos. Newton offers some of the most affordable housing in Surrey, which makes it popular with first-time buyers and growing families. The area is also one of the most culturally diverse in Metro Vancouver, with strong South Asian, Filipino, and Chinese communities.
