About White Rock
With a population of 19,399, White Rock is located in the southwest corner of the Lower Mainland, 45 kilometers from Vancouver and only five minutes to the Canada/US border. We are an exciting seaside community clustered around an eight kilometer sandy beach and the warm shallow waters of Semiahmoo Bay.
Because of our moderate climate, White Rock is a preferred retirement spot. The average summer temperature is 23 degrees Celsius while the winter average temperature is six degrees Celsius.
The waterfront includes a promenade that is two and a half kilometers long, fully accessible to the disabled and parents with strollers. The heritage pier, train station, large beached "white rock", and colorful sidewalk cafes create a special ambience throughout the area.Commercial meets residential along the waterfront as well as in the Town Centre where you will find a number of apartment buildings with retail stores on the ground level. A variety of specialty shops dot White Rock.
From single-family homes on small lots, to estate lots and multiple family homes, White Rock has a wide selection of housing. Ocean views from some sites are breathtaking. Commuting to Vancouver takes about one hour. Dedicated bus and high-occupancy vehicle lanes make public transportation and car or van pooling appealing. White Rock has two primary schools and in association with neighboring South Surrey, there are four secondary schools.
Recreation facilities and programs are excellent. Some include the Promenade and Centennial Park, with its ice arena, curling rink and ravine trails.Property values have steadily increased due to White Rock's attractive setting and amenities.
