A note from me: I’m Bronson Job, a REALTOR® (PREC) with Royal LePage Ben Gauer & Associates, 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. It is the kind of place a family buys for newer construction and school catchment, and this guide covers what to know before you offer: the housing on the market, the schools, the park network, and where Yorkson sits against the rest of Willoughby. The sub-area was largely built out from 2010 onward, with major developers including Polygon Homes (Red Maple Park 2011, Mason & Green 2014, Ashbury + Oak 2016, Union Park condos) and Mosaic Homes (York by Mosaic at 8438/8476 207A Street). The original Willoughby Community Plan (Bylaw No. 3800, 1998) governs current build-out; a draft new Willoughby Community Plan was issued September 2025, consolidating several plan areas into a single Willoughby Transit Corridor Plan along the 200 Street bus-rapid-transit corridor.
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 (IB) World School in the Langley School District — its Pre-IB Programme runs Grades 9–10 and the IB Diploma Programme runs Grades 11–12, open to all district residents by application, though the Pre-IB catchment matters for in-catchment families. Yorkson Community Park (27.6 acres, with a turf field, splash park, dog park, adventure playground, and 75-stall lot) is the recreation anchor.

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 (IB) World School in the Langley School District (SD #35), with a Pre-IB Programme in Grades 9–10 and the IB Diploma Programme in Grades 11–12. IB admission is open to all district residents by application — but the Pre-IB catchment matters for in-catchment families. Yorkson Creek Middle is the feeder middle school for Yorkson.
- 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?
- Newer townhouses commonly sit in the $850K–1.3M range depending on size and complex; newer detached homes typically transact in the $1.6–2.2M band. Condos are more limited in Yorkson proper than in the southern Willoughby sub-areas closer to the Town Centre. Benchmarks move with the market — current FVREB sub-area F63 (Willoughby Heights) numbers can be pulled for the specific street or complex before going to 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 with the recent Vesta Properties Latimer Heights master plan including The Towers at Latimer Heights — Langley's first concrete high-rise (twin towers, ~500 homes, completed 2024). 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.
