Yorkson, Willoughby (Langley)

Yorkson is the part of Willoughby around 208 Street and 80 Avenue, with a creek, trails and a park that opened a new north campus in May 2026. The Township adopted its neighbourhood plan in 2001 and updated it in December 2025. The high school and middle school catchments change in September 2027.

What the place is like

Yorkson covers about 330 hectares in northwest Langley. Highway 1 is its northern edge, 212 Street its eastern, 74B and 76 Avenues its southern, and 203 and 204 Streets its western. Yorkson Creek runs through it, and the Township’s plan keeps greenways along the creek and a 15-metre natural buffer beside the highway.

The centre is 208 Street and 80 Avenue, which the plan calls the Town Market. Shops sit on the ground floor there, with up to four storeys in the core. Buildings of 5 to 12 storeys may be considered on its edge. A small cluster of older buildings survives near 208 Street and 83 Avenue, including the 1937 Willoughby Community Hall.

What the plan allows

The plan aims at about 28,000 residents in about 11,770 homes when Yorkson is fully built. It sets a mix of roughly 20% detached, 5% attached, 25% townhouses and 50% apartments. That is a target for the whole neighbourhood, not a count of what exists today.

The Township updated the Yorkson, Smith and Williams neighbourhood plans in December 2025. A plan designation sets a ceiling. A site still needs a rezoning and a development permit before anything is built.

Yorkson Community Park

The north campus, at 84 Avenue and 206 Street, opened on May 9, 2026. It has the Township’s largest accessible playground, a spray park, a synthetic field and a creek trail from 84 Avenue to 82 Avenue. Parking is off 82 and 84 Avenues, beside Yorkson Creek Middle School.

Schools, and the 2027 change

Yorkson Creek Middle School, at 20686 84 Avenue, opened in 2014 for Grades 6 to 8, with room for 750 students. R.E. Mountain Secondary, at 7633 202A Street, opened its current building in 2019 with room for 1,700 students. The Province announced a 300-seat addition for it in April 2026.

A new secondary school, Emery Dosdall, and a new middle school open in Willoughby in September 2027. The Langley School District redrew its lines for the 2027-2028 year, and the new middle school takes the area east of 208 Street. Under the secondary map the part of Yorkson north of 80 Avenue, and east of 206 Street south of it, falls in Emery Dosdall’s secondary catchment. The rest stays with R.E. Mountain.

Those lines are the district’s to change, and a catchment sets only a default school. Check an address with the district’s catchment page and school locator before you offer.

Getting around

Highway 1 is at Yorkson’s north edge. The planned 200 Street bus line has stations at 80 and 84 Avenue, just west of Yorkson. The design is moving but construction is not funded. The SkyTrain on Fraser Highway has a late 2029 in-service date. The 200 Street corridor guide has the stations and dates.

Before you buy near Yorkson

  • The lot’s designation, and its neighbours’. The plan puts townhouses and apartments around 208 Street and 80 Avenue and detached homes further out. A designation is a ceiling, so a taller building next door still needs its own rezoning.
  • The catchment for 2027-2028. North of 80 Avenue, and east of 206 Street south of it, the secondary school becomes Emery Dosdall. Confirm the address with the district’s school locator.
  • The strata documents, for a townhouse or apartment. Read the minutes, the depreciation report and the budget before you remove subjects. The Property Transfer Tax calculator adds the tax to your closing costs.

Common questions about Yorkson

  • Where is Yorkson?
    In northwest Langley, inside Willoughby. The Township’s plan puts its edges at Highway 1 to the north, 212 Street to the east, 74B and 76 Avenues to the south, and 203 and 204 Streets to the west. That is about 330 hectares (815 acres). Its centre is the corner of 208 Street and 80 Avenue. Source: Township of Langley, Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan, Bylaw 4030, section 2 (tol.ca).
  • What’s special about Yorkson for school catchment?
    The catchments change in September 2027. Today the secondary school for Yorkson is R.E. Mountain. When Emery Dosdall Secondary opens, the Langley School District’s new map gives the part of Yorkson north of 80 Avenue, and east of 206 Street south of it, to Emery Dosdall. The middle school lines change too: the new middle school takes the area east of 208 Street. A catchment sets a default school. It does not promise a place, and the district can change the lines again. Confirm an address with the district’s school locator before you offer. Source: Langley School District, Catchments for R.E. Mountain Secondary and Emery Dosdall Secondary, 2027-2028 (sd35.bc.ca, read November 5, 2026).
  • What named townhouse and condo projects are in Yorkson?
    This guide names none. Project names and unit counts change with each sale and each rezoning, and the Township’s published plan does not list them. The plan does say what is designated: townhouses and apartments around the 208 Street and 80 Avenue centre, and detached homes further out. A specific rezoning application is on the Township’s development applications pages. Source: Township of Langley, Yorkson Neighbourhood Plan, Bylaw 4030, section 4 (tol.ca).
  • What’s at Yorkson Community Park?
    The north campus, at 84 Avenue and 206 Street, opened on May 9, 2026. The Township calls its playground the largest accessible playground in the Township. The campus also has a spray park, a synthetic field, new parking lots and a trail along Yorkson Creek from 84 Avenue to 82 Avenue. The Township put the cost of finishing it at $20.5 million.

  • How does the Surrey-Langley SkyTrain affect Yorkson?
    Indirectly. The SkyTrain runs along Fraser Highway, south of Yorkson, and the Province’s anticipated in-service date is late 2029. The closer change is the 200 Street bus line, which the Township planned for the west side of Willoughby. Its stations at 80 and 84 Avenue are a short distance west of Yorkson. That bus line is designed but not funded for construction.

  • What’s the typical price range for housing in Yorkson?
    This guide quotes no price. Yorkson mixes townhouses, apartments and detached homes of different ages, so an average misleads. The BC Assessment record for a specific address shows its land and building values. Ask for the current homes in the street or complex you are watching. Source: BC Assessment, property search (bcassessment.ca).
  • How does Yorkson differ from other Willoughby sub-areas?
    Yorkson is the northern part of Willoughby, and it holds the Town Market centre at 208 Street and 80 Avenue. The newer Willoughby Transit Corridor Plan, adopted June 15, 2026, folds together the Carvolth, Latimer, Jericho, Routley and Southwest Gordon Estate plans. Yorkson’s own plan was updated separately and adopted in December 2025. Source: Township of Langley, Community and Neighbourhood Plans (tol.ca).
