Overview

South Surrey is the name of one of the City of Surrey's communities. It covers about 113 square kilometres, from the US border north to the Cloverdale community and from Crescent Beach in the west to roughly 190 Street in the east. About 41% of it is in the Agricultural Land Reserve, mostly the Kensington farmland and part of Morgan Creek. White Rock is a separate city on the shoreline, with its northern edge at about 16 Avenue.

The City's planning list names the neighbourhoods inside it, including Crescent Beach, Crescent Heights, Chantrell, Morgan Creek, Rosemary Heights, Darts Hill and Redwood Heights. The list is a working list and not a legal boundary.

Schools are in School District 36 (Surrey), and the catchment changes from one neighbourhood to the next. By land area, Morgan Creek and Rosemary Heights are in the Grandview Heights Secondary catchment, Crescent Beach and Chantrell are Elgin Park Secondary, and Darts Hill is Earl Marriott Secondary. Across the whole community by area, Semiahmoo Secondary is only 3%. Shares are land area, so confirm any address with the district.

SkyTrain does not serve South Surrey. Surrey is in the Metro Vancouver Regional District, so the 20% foreign buyer tax applies. Surrey's Zoning Bylaw 12000 allows three units on a lot of 280 square metres (3,014 sq ft) or less and four on a larger lot inside the Urban Containment Boundary, and six only within 400 metres of a prescribed bus stop.
