About Newton

Newton is Surrey's largest community by population. The City counted 159,390 residents across 5,871 hectares in 2021 — 28% of Surrey's total, and more than any of the City's other six profiled communities (Source: City of Surrey, Newton Community Profile, 2021 Census Data; accessed 2026-07-25). The area stretches from King George Boulevard in the west to 152nd Street in the east. Newton Town Centre at 72nd Avenue and King George is the commercial hub, home to the Newton Recreation Centre (with Surrey's only Olympic-sized mat room and wave pool), two library branches, the Bell Centre for Performing Arts, and the Newton Cultural Centre. The housing stock mixes older ranchers and split-levels on large lots with newer townhome complexes and low-rise condos, which is why a lot of Surrey's entry-level buyers start their search here.

Newton is culturally diverse, and the census bears that out. In 2021, 64% of residents identified as South Asian against 38% across Surrey; 38% spoke Punjabi at home and 49% spoke English; and 49% of residents were immigrants, with India the origin of 70% of those who landed between 2016 and 2021 (Source: City of Surrey, Newton Community Profile, 2021 Census Data; accessed 2026-07-25). The Khalsa Day Vaisakhi Parade runs through Newton each April. The City of Surrey reported over half a million people in attendance in 2023 and describes the parade as Canada's largest (Source: City of Surrey, Statement from the Mayor, April 24, 2023; accessed 2026-07-25); turnout moves year to year. Kwantlen Polytechnic University's main campus is located in Newton, and the community includes the historic Sullivan village plus the Panorama neighbourhood to the east.

What clients say about working with AG. Song

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 Newton

What is the average home price in Newton?

Newton covers 48 km² and six secondary catchments, so one average across it is not much use to anybody. FVREB folds Newton into its wider Fraser Valley reporting rather than publishing a Newton benchmark, and that series is charted above, with its source and the reporting months in the caption. The housing stock explains most of the spread: older ranchers and split-levels on large lots through the centre, newer townhome complexes and low-rise condos nearer the town centre and along King George Boulevard, and larger detached homes up on Panorama Ridge. Condos and townhomes are where most first-time buyers start here. For pricing on a specific address, AG. Song will run a comparative market analysis.

Is Newton safe?

Newton has improved significantly in recent years with increased policing and community investment. The City of Surrey has invested in new civic facilities, streetscaping, and community programming. Like any large community, safety varies by block. The areas around Newton Town Centre and the newer developments tend to be well-maintained and family-friendly.

How diverse is Newton?

In 2021, 64% of Newton residents identified as South Asian, 18% as Caucasian, 5% as Filipino, 3% as Chinese, and 10% as other groups. Punjabi was spoken at home by 38% of residents and English by 49%. Almost half the community — 49% — were immigrants, and India was the origin of 70% of those who arrived between 2016 and 2021. Roughly 2,590 Newton residents identified as Indigenous, about a fifth of Surrey's Indigenous population. (Source: City of Surrey, Newton Community Profile, 2021 Census Data; accessed 2026-07-25.) The Khalsa Day Vaisakhi Parade passes through Newton each April; the City of Surrey put attendance at over half a million in 2023 and describes it as Canada's largest (Source: City of Surrey, Statement from the Mayor, April 24, 2023). Turnout varies year to year, so read any single figure as that year's.

What schools are in Newton?

Newton is served by Surrey School District 36 with six secondary schools: Princess Margaret, Sullivan Heights, L.A. Matheson, Tamanawis, Panorama Ridge, and Queen Elizabeth. There are also numerous elementary schools and Kwantlen Polytechnic University's main campus is located in the area.

What recreation facilities does Newton have?

Newton Recreation Centre has an Olympic-sized mat room and Surrey's only wave pool. The Bell Centre for Performing Arts and Newton Cultural Centre host events and arts programming.
