A note from me: I’m Bronson Job, a REALTOR® (PREC) with Momentum Realty Inc., so I earn a commission when I help someone buy or sell. I write these guides to be genuinely useful — general information, not advice on your specific situation — and I take no payment from any third party named in them. How I verify.
Yorkson is the northern part of Willoughby, in Langley — roughly 208 Street and 80 Avenue, north of Routley and west of the Carvolth area. Families buy here for newer construction and for the school catchment. This guide covers the housing, the schools, the parks, and where Yorkson sits against the rest of Willoughby.
Almost all of it was built from 2010 onward. Polygon Homes did Red Maple Park (2011), Mason & Green (2014), Ashbury + Oak (2016) and the Union Park condos; Mosaic Homes did York by Mosaic at 8438 and 8476 207A Street. Build-out still runs under the original Willoughby Community Plan, Bylaw No. 3800, adopted in 1998. A draft replacement was issued in September 2025 that would fold several plan areas into one Willoughby Transit Corridor Plan along the 200 Street rapid-bus corridor; check with the Township for where that draft now stands before you rely on it.
For family buyers, the major draw is the schools. Yorkson Creek Middle is the feeder middle school. R.E. Mountain Secondary at 7633 202A Street is the only International Baccalaureate World School in the Langley School District, running a Pre-IB programme in Grades 9 and 10 and the IB Diploma programme in Grades 11 and 12. The programme takes applications from anywhere in the district, so a Yorkson address does not secure a place in it — what the address does secure is R.E. Mountain as the default catchment school. Yorkson Community Park (27.6 acres, with a turf field, splash park, dog park, adventure playground, and 75-stall lot) is the recreation anchor. For the broader Willoughby market, see the Willoughby area page.
Frequently Asked
- Where is Yorkson?
- Yorkson is the northern Township-defined Neighbourhood Plan area within Willoughby — roughly around 208 Street and 80 Avenue, north of Routley and west of the Carvolth area. The original Willoughby Community Plan (Bylaw No. 3800, 1998) governs build-out, with a draft new Willoughby Community Plan issued September 2025 to consolidate Carvolth, Latimer, Jericho, Routley, and SW Gordon plans into a single Willoughby Transit Corridor Plan.
- What's special about Yorkson for school catchment?
- Yorkson sits within the R.E. Mountain Secondary catchment — the school is at 7633 202A Street (relocated from its original 1977 Walnut Grove site to a new 160,000 sq ft, 1,700-student-capacity facility in September 2019). R.E. Mountain is the only International Baccalaureate World School in the Langley School District (SD #35). It runs a Pre-IB programme in Grades 9 and 10 and the IB Diploma programme in Grades 11 and 12. Worth separating two things that get conflated: the International Baccalaureate programme is open to any family in the district by application, so living in Yorkson does not get you into it. What catchment decides is which school your child attends by default, and for Yorkson that is R.E. Mountain. Yorkson Creek Middle is the feeder middle school.
- What named townhouse and condo projects are in Yorkson?
- Polygon Homes has been a major developer here — Red Maple Park (172 townhouses, 2011), Mason & Green (118 THs, 2014), Ashbury + Oak (259 THs, 2016), and Union Park condos. Mosaic Homes built York by Mosaic at 8438/8476 207A Street (sold-out shingle-style rowhomes). The Yorkson Community Park area has seen significant townhouse and condo build-out in the past decade.
- What's at Yorkson Community Park?
- Yorkson Community Park is 27.6 acres with a turf field, splash park, dog park, adventure playground, and a 75-stall lot. It's the recreation anchor for the Yorkson sub-area and one of the larger community parks in the Township's Willoughby footprint. The Township continues to invest in the broader Willoughby park network — Routley Park (8.2 acres at 19833 70 Avenue), Northeast Latimer Park, and other plan-area parks complement Yorkson.
- How does the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain affect Yorkson?
- Indirectly. The SkyTrain extension runs along Fraser Highway south of Willoughby — Willowbrook Station sits at the NE corner of 196 Street & Fraser Highway and Langley City Centre Station is the terminus at 203 Street. Yorkson is in the northern part of Willoughby, several kilometres from those stations. The Province confirmed in January 2026 that in-service is targeted for late 2029. Yorkson buyers benefit from regional demand pull rather than walkable station access; the closer Willoughby sub-areas (Latimer, Willoughby Slope) are more directly affected.
- What's the typical price range for housing in Yorkson?
- These ranges were written in May 2026 and are a starting point, not a valuation. Newer townhouses have generally sold between about $850,000 and $1.3M depending on size and complex; newer detached homes between about $1.6M and $2.2M. There are fewer condos in Yorkson proper than in the southern Willoughby sub-areas nearer the Town Centre. One thing worth knowing at these prices: mortgage default insurance is available below $1.5M, and the minimum down payment is 5% on the first $500,000 plus 10% on the rest — so about $60,000 on an $850,000 townhouse, and $105,000 at $1.3M, not 5% of the price. The Willoughby area page carries the current Fraser Valley Real Estate Board numbers for sub-area F63, which are worth pulling for the specific street or complex before you write an offer.
- How does Yorkson differ from other Willoughby sub-areas?
- Yorkson is the northern part of Willoughby, closer to Highway 1 and the Carvolth Exchange transit hub (202 St / 86 Ave, opened December 2012, 679-stall Park & Ride, 14 bus bays). Routley sits centrally (around 208 Street and 70 Avenue). Latimer is the newer southeast section, built around the Vesta Properties Latimer Heights master plan, which includes The Towers at Latimer Heights — twin concrete towers of roughly 500 homes, completed 2024, and the first towers of their kind in the Township. Willoughby Town Centre (80 Ave / 208 St, Qualico, 181,029 sq ft) is the commercial core. Each sub-area has its own pricing pattern based on age and proximity to amenities.
