Overview

Sullivan is a Surrey neighbourhood east of Newton and south of Panorama Ridge, bounded roughly by 64 Avenue (north), Highway 10 / 56 Avenue (south), 144 Street (west), and 152 Street (east). The neighbourhood is anchored by Sullivan Heights Town Centre — the small commercial spine at 152 Street + Sullivan Heights with grocery, restaurants, and small-format retail — and Sullivan Heights Secondary School. Inventory is predominantly post-2000 detached + townhouse residential, with some pre-2000 detached on larger original lots.

The Sullivan Heights Town Centre is the day-to-day commercial anchor — newer mid-format retail on 152 Street + 64 Avenue + the Sullivan Heights commercial pocket. Bigger errands typically draw residents to Newton Town Centre, Cloverdale, or the future Surrey-Langley SkyTrain corridor at 152 Street (in-service targeted late 2029 per Province). The neighbourhood sits in the centre of the Surrey footprint, with reasonable access to all four major Surrey town centres.

For schools, most Sullivan addresses feed Sullivan Heights Secondary (6248 144 Street) for grades 8–12. Elementary feeders include Sullivan Elementary, Goldstone Park Elementary, and Cougar Creek Elementary depending on the specific address. SD #36 (Surrey) operates French Immersion as an application stream. Verify the live SD #36 catchment map for the specific address.

Inventory is predominantly RF (Surrey single-family) detached on conventional 40–60 foot lots — newer post-2000 master-planned subdivision detached dominates the southern + eastern half of the neighbourhood, with some pre-2000 detached on larger original lots in the older blocks near 64 Avenue. A meaningful share of townhouse and small-lot detached infill along the commercial spines + the southern boundary near Highway 10. Bill 44 SSMUH applies — Surrey adopted compliant zoning bylaws ahead of the June 30, 2024 provincial deadline.

By transit, Sullivan is not directly served by existing SkyTrain — the closest stations are King George + Surrey Central (Expo Line, ~10–15 minute drive northwest). The future Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension at 152 Street (in-service targeted late 2029 per Province) will be the closest new station, directly at the eastern edge of Sullivan. TransLink bus service connects to the SkyTrain via 64 Avenue + 152 Street routes.

By car, downtown Vancouver is 50–75 minutes via Highway 1 + the bridges; Surrey City Centre is 12–18 minutes north via King George Boulevard or 152 Street. The Highway 10 corridor at the southern boundary provides east-west access to Cloverdale + the broader Fraser Valley. The structural advantage is the central Surrey location — reasonable distance to all four Surrey town centres + the future 152 Street SkyTrain station.

Daily life

Sullivan Heights Town Centre at 152 Street + Sullivan Heights is the day-to-day commercial anchor — grocery, restaurants, small-format retail. Bigger errands typically draw residents to Newton Town Centre, Cloverdale, or the future Surrey-Langley SkyTrain corridor at 152 Street.

Goldstone Park + Cougar Creek green-space corridors anchor the local outdoor amenity. The combination of newer master-planned subdivision detached + Sullivan Heights commercial spine + future 152 Street SkyTrain station is the structural pull for family buyers seeking a central-Surrey middle-tier price band.

Frequently asked

A few of the questions that come up most often about Sullivan.

What schools serve Sullivan?
Most Sullivan addresses feed Sullivan Heights Secondary (6248 144 Street) for grades 8–12. Elementary feeders include Sullivan Elementary, Goldstone Park Elementary, and Cougar Creek Elementary depending on the specific address. SD #36 (Surrey) operates French Immersion as an application stream. Verify the live SD #36 catchment map.
What's Sullivan Heights Town Centre?
Sullivan Heights Town Centre is the small commercial spine at 152 Street + Sullivan Heights with grocery, restaurants, and small-format retail. The day-to-day commercial anchor for Sullivan residents. Bigger errands typically draw residents to Newton Town Centre, Cloverdale, or the future Surrey-Langley SkyTrain corridor at 152 Street.
How will the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain affect Sullivan?
The future Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension (Expo Line Phase 1, in-service targeted late 2029 per Province) will add a station at 152 Street — directly at the eastern edge of Sullivan. When the station opens, the immediate radius (Bill 47 TOD Tier 1 ~200 m, Tier 2 ~400 m, Tier 3 ~800 m) will see substantial density upzoning under both the Surrey OCP and the provincial Transit-Oriented Areas Act. Pull the live City of Surrey planning layer for the specific parcel.
How does Bill 44 SSMUH apply in Sullivan?
Surrey adopted Bill 44 SSMUH-compliant zoning bylaws ahead of the June 30, 2024 provincial deadline. The framework permits up to 4 units on most single-family lots (up to 6 near frequent transit) subject to lot dimensions and servicing. Most Sullivan RF lots are multiplex-eligible — verify the specific lot's frontage and servicing capacity, and confirm the Surrey TOA status for parcels near the future 152 Street SkyTrain station.
How does Sullivan compare to Bear Creek?
Both are central Surrey neighbourhoods between Newton + Cloverdale. Sullivan is newer (post-2000 master-planned subdivision dominates) and trades Bear Creek's 175-hectare Bear Creek Park amenity + Tamanawis catchment for the Sullivan Heights Town Centre + Sullivan Heights Secondary catchment + the future 152 Street SkyTrain station. Bear Creek has older established detached inventory; Sullivan has newer-build dominance.
What tax exposure should a Sullivan buyer model?
BC Property Transfer Tax applies on every purchase: 1% to $200K, 2% to $2M, 3% to $3M, and 5% above $3M. For most Sullivan detached purchases the second bracket dominates. Surrey is inside the Greater Vancouver Regional District — for non-Canadian buyers where the federal foreign buyer ban does not prohibit the transaction, the BC Foreign Buyer Tax applies. BC SVT applies in Surrey. Federal UHT layers on for affected owners. The BC Newly Built Home PTT exemption may apply for qualifying new-construction Sullivan purchases.
