Walnut Grove is one of the most established family neighbourhoods in Langley Township. It sits in the northwest corner of Langley, close to the Golden Ears Bridge and Highway 1. The area has a self-contained feel — there are over 700 local businesses, so most residents handle daily errands without leaving the neighbourhood.
The heart of Walnut Grove is the Town Centre along 88th Avenue and 200th Street, with grocery stores, restaurants, and local shops. Walnut Grove Community Park is a 20-acre green space with trails, playgrounds, sports fields, and a splash park. The community centre has an Olympic-sized pool, fitness facilities, and a library. Homes here are a mix of established single-family houses from the 1990s-2000s and newer townhome developments. The market is active — sales-to-active ratios run about 25%, which is above the Langley average.
