Schools: confirm the catchment for the address

As of October 2026, Maple Ridge is in School District 42 (Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows), and the catchment lines are not published in a form we can check. Look the exact address up in the School District 42 locator before you pay a premium for a school.

Maple Ridge Secondary and Westview Secondary are in West Maple Ridge. Samuel Robertson Technical Secondary is in Albion. Garibaldi Secondary (24789 Dewdney Trunk Road) is in the Smith neighbourhood, and Thomas Haney Secondary (23000 116 Avenue) is next to Cottonwood. Moving here from Fort Langley, Walnut Grove or Willoughby also moves you out of School District 35.

The Albion Area Plan

Council adopted the updated Albion Area Plan on October 28, 2025, after second reading on September 16 and a public hearing on October 21. The City describes it as adding walking and cycling connections, supporting local commercial nodes and creating buffers where urban development meets farmland.

The City’s review of North East Albion places townhouses along 248 Street and between 248 and 249 Streets. A density bonus program in the Zoning Bylaw shapes approvals in Albion, so read the current bylaw for the parcel’s amenity contribution and floor-space ratio. See the Albion guide.

West Coast Express, Lougheed and the Golden Ears Bridge

The West Coast Express runs five trains west in the morning and five east in the evening on weekdays, with no midday, evening or weekend service. On the September 2026 TransLink schedule, Port Haney to Waterfront takes 56 minutes, Maple Meadows takes 50 and Pitt Meadows takes 46.

Drive time in minutes from the middle of each neighbourhood, clear roads.

The Golden Ears Bridge opened on June 16, 2009 and has been toll-free since September 1, 2017. It is at the west end of the city, so Albion and Cottonwood are 9 and 7 kilometres from it in a straight line. Rush hour adds to every drive above.

There is no SkyTrain in Maple Ridge. The Surrey Langley SkyTrain extension ends at Langley City Centre and does not serve it.

Frequently asked questions

How does the West Coast Express work for Maple Ridge commuters?

The West Coast Express is TransLink's commuter rail line between Mission and Waterfront Station in downtown Vancouver. It runs five trains west in the morning and five east in the evening on weekdays, and nothing at midday or on weekends. Maple Ridge has two stations, Port Haney (22300 River Road) and Maple Meadows (20010 Dunn Avenue). On the September 2026 schedule, Port Haney to Waterfront takes 56 minutes and Maple Meadows takes 50. Pitt Meadows Station, in the next city, takes 46.

Is the Golden Ears Bridge still tolled?

No. Tolls on the Golden Ears Bridge ended on September 1, 2017. The bridge opened on June 16, 2009 and replaced the Albion Ferry, which ran from 1957 to July 31, 2009. The bridge is at the west end of Maple Ridge, so Hammond and Town Centre are closest to it and Albion is about 9 kilometres away in a straight line.

Is there SkyTrain in Maple Ridge?

No. The Surrey Langley SkyTrain extension, due in late 2029, ends at Langley City Centre. A buyer who needs SkyTrain should look elsewhere. A buyer who can use the West Coast Express or drive can work from Maple Ridge.

What schools serve Maple Ridge?

Maple Ridge is in School District 42 (Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows). The district does not publish catchment lines in a form we can read, so its locator, not a listing, decides the school for an address. Secondary schools in the city include Maple Ridge Secondary and Westview Secondary in West Maple Ridge, Samuel Robertson Technical in Albion, Garibaldi in the Smith neighbourhood and Thomas Haney, next to Cottonwood. This is a different district from Fort Langley, Walnut Grove or Willoughby (School District 35).

What did the Albion Area Plan update decide?

Council adopted the updated Albion Area Plan on October 28, 2025, after second reading on September 16 and a public hearing on October 21, 2025. The City describes it as adding walking and cycling connections, supporting local commercial nodes and creating buffers where urban development meets farmland. Its review of North East Albion places townhouses along 248 Street and between 248 and 249 Streets.

Is Maple Ridge in the Vancouver board or the Fraser Valley board?

The Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver reports Maple Ridge. Langley is reported by the Fraser Valley board, so a comparison across the river needs translation between two sets of statistics.

How many homes can I build on a house lot in Maple Ridge?

Most single-family lots can take three or four homes under Bill 44, and six within 400 metres of a prescribed frequent-transit stop. Lots over 4,050 square metres (43,594 square feet) are outside the rule. The City's own zoning decides the detail, so read the zoning of the lot itself.

Are floodplain rules an issue for Maple Ridge properties?

Near the Fraser River dyke they can be. Ask the City for the current floodplain mapping and construction-level rules for a specific parcel before you assume what is buildable.
