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 or Cloverdale. 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 today are King George + Surrey Central (Expo Line, ~10–15 minute drive northwest). The future Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension will add a 152 Street Station (in-service targeted late 2029 per Province), but it sits at Fraser Highway + 152 Street — up in the Green Timbers/Fleetwood area, roughly a couple of kilometres north of Sullivan's 64 Avenue edge. It will be Sullivan's closest rapid transit, but reaching it means a short drive or bus ride, not a walk. TransLink bus service runs along the 64 Avenue + 152 Street corridors.

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, with the future 152 Street SkyTrain station a short drive north once it opens.

What you get living here

The things that don't show up in a listing — the standing rituals and quiet anchors that make Sullivan feel like a place rather than a postal code.

1909, not a developer

The name predates the suburb by a century — Sullivan was a railway whistle-stop

Sullivan Station was built in 1909 at the junction of the BC Electric Railway interurban and Johnston Road, named for the Sullivan family who settled the area. The 10×12-foot wooden station sheltered passengers for 40 years until passenger service ended in 1950; the original shelter was returned to Sullivan in 2003 and now sits at the Fraser Valley Heritage Railway Society's Sullivan Station Car Barn. Mills, shingles and lumber — not townhouses — built this place.

A commercial node, not its own NCP

"Sullivan Heights" the neighbourhood is administratively a commercial node inside the South Newton Plan

The City planned the area under the South Newton Plan (initiated 1996, amended 2004 for small-lot single-family), with Sullivan Heights designated as the neighbourhood commercial node at 64 Avenue and 144 Street. That's why local identity, school catchment, and zoning maps don't always agree on where Sullivan ends and Newton begins.

City of Surrey — South Newton Plan

Opened 2000, expanded 2022

Sullivan Heights Secondary opened in 2000 (NOT 2005)

The school opened in 2000 at 6248 144 St, phased in grades 8–10 first, and reached full grades 8–12 by 2002–03. A $34.3M expansion completed September 2022 added 28 spaces and lifted capacity to ~1,700. For a neighbourhood that barely existed pre-1995, the school is the cultural centre of gravity.

Cricket and kabaddi are park-default

Sullivan Heights Park is built with cricket pitch + kabaddi-capable fields

7.5 ha (19 acres) at 6322 144 St — a dedicated cricket pitch + 2 practice nets and kabaddi-capable fields sit alongside soccer and rugby pitches and a pond. It is one of the few Surrey parks purpose-built for cricket, and the pitch books out through the summer league season.

SkyTrain coming, but not next door

The nearest future SkyTrain — 152 Street Station — sits north at Fraser Highway, a drive away

152 Street Station is one of eight stations on the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension, scheduled to open late 2029. It is at the northwest corner of Fraser Highway and 152 Street — up in the Green Timbers/Fleetwood area, roughly a couple of kilometres north of Sullivan's 64 Avenue edge, not at it. It will be Sullivan's closest rapid-transit option, but it's a drive or a bus ride, not a walk. Any "transit-oriented" framing for Sullivan should account for that distance.

Two plazas, not a high street

The retail spine is car-first by design

Sullivan Square (~76,000 sq ft, Highway 10 + 152 St) and Sullivan Station Shopping Centre (23,380 sq ft, 152 St + 64 Ave) absorb most everyday errands. There's no walkable village core — the 152 Street commercial strip is car-first by design.

Sullivan Square

Working farmland in the city limits

Sullivan Park is actively cropped — carrots, potatoes, corn

Nearly 30% of Surrey (9,230 ha, 22,800 acres) sits in the ALR. Sullivan Park (2.6 ha, 6.4 acres) is one of three city parks actively farmed — carrots, potatoes, corn, squash and hay grow on land most residents assume is just greenspace.

Inside Sullivan

Sullivan reads as one neighbourhood from a distance, but on the ground the housing fabric is layered. Each piece has its own rules, its own inventory, and its own buyer.

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.

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 or Cloverdale.

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

Commute math

Not directly served by existing SkyTrain. Closest stations today are King George + Surrey Central (Expo Line, ~10–15 minute drive northwest). The future Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension adds a 152 Street Station (in-service targeted late 2029 per Province) at Fraser Highway + 152 Street — a short drive north of Sullivan, not at its edge.

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. Highway 10 at the southern boundary provides east-west access to Cloverdale + the Fraser Valley.

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 or Cloverdale.
How will the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain affect Sullivan?
The future Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension (in-service targeted late 2029 per Province) will add a 152 Street Station at the Fraser Highway + 152 Street corner — up in the Green Timbers/Fleetwood area, roughly a couple of kilometres north of Sullivan's 64 Avenue edge. For Sullivan itself the effect is improved transit access a short drive away rather than a station on its doorstep, and most Sullivan parcels fall outside the station's Bill 47 Transit-Oriented Area radius (Tier 1 ~200 m, Tier 2 ~400 m, Tier 3 ~800 m). Pull the live City of Surrey planning layer to confirm whether a specific parcel is captured.
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 large Bear Creek Park amenity + Tamanawis catchment for the Sullivan Heights Town Centre + Sullivan Heights Secondary catchment. Bear Creek has older established detached inventory; Sullivan has newer-build dominance. Neither sits on top of a SkyTrain — the future 152 Street Station up at Fraser Highway is a drive from both.
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.
