About Ocean Park

Ocean Park feels like stepping into a small coastal town — locals describe it as "Surrey's Mayberry." The neighbourhood sits on the western tip of the Semiahmoo Peninsula, surrounded by Semiahmoo Bay and Boundary Bay. Streets are lined with tall trees, and homes range from original summer cottages to contemporary character houses on generous lots.

The village centre around 128th Street and 16th Avenue has a Safeway, Ocean Park Fine Meats, independent cafes, and a community library — all walkable. Beach access points at 1001 Steps Park and the Ocean Park Shoreline Walk give residents tidal beach walks and sailing. Ocean Cliff Elementary and Elgin Park Secondary serve the area. This is predominantly a detached-home neighbourhood with a strong sense of community, lower density than most of Surrey, and a lifestyle that revolves around the ocean and nature.

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 Ocean Park

What are the home prices in Ocean Park?

The FVREB detached benchmark for South Surrey & White Rock was $1,696,300 in June 2026 (FVREB Monthly Statistics Package; data as of 2026-07-09), and the chart above tracks it month by month. Ocean Park is not reported separately. The neighbourhood is overwhelmingly detached, on lots that run larger than the Surrey norm, with original summer cottages, 1970s and 1980s family homes, and contemporary rebuilds sharing the same blocks. That mix is why the gap between the cheapest and dearest sale in a given month is so wide. View, walking distance to a beach access point, and lot size do most of the work. Townhomes are a small share of the stock. For a figure on a specific address, ask AG. Song.

What makes Ocean Park different from Crescent Beach or White Rock?

Ocean Park is smaller and more village-like with a 'Mayberry charm.' It's more affordable than waterfront White Rock, quieter than Crescent Beach, and has a strong sense of community. The neighbourhood is mostly detached homes among tall trees — fewer rentals and lower density.
