About Willoughby
Willoughby is the fastest-growing area in the Township of Langley. The population jumped from about 4,500 in 2011 to over 50,000 today, and there are thousands more homes in the development pipeline. New townhome and single-family communities go up every year, drawing young families who want newer construction at prices below Vancouver and Burnaby.
The area is centred around 208th Street and 80th Avenue. Willoughby Town Centre has banks, coffee shops, restaurants, and daily essentials. Willowbrook Shopping Centre is a 5-minute drive south with 130+ stores. The big news is the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension, expected to open in late 2028, which will give Willoughby much better transit access to the rest of Metro Vancouver. A new school campus — Smith Campus — is opening in fall 2027 with a secondary school (Emery Dosdall Secondary) and a middle school, adding 2,800 student seats to handle the growing population.
