Murrayville REALTOR®: Bronson Job, PREC
Murrayville is a historic community with Langley Memorial Hospital 1.07 kilometres from Five Corners, where the housing is mostly detached on R-1 lots, with some townhouses. Two details shape transactions here: the board reports the area under a different name than buyers search, and Bill 44 eligibility depends on the lot.
What makes a Murrayville transaction different
- A historic village core. Murrayville clusters around the Five Corners roundabout (Old Yale Road, 216 Street, and 48 Avenue), with heritage buildings (the Murrayville Community Hall and the Traveller's Hotel, built 1885 to 1889) within 130 metres of it. The pub, park and grocer are a 14 to 16.5 minute walk east.
- The hospital. Langley Memorial Hospital is at 22051 Fraser Highway, 1.07 kilometres north-east of Five Corners: a 3.7 minute drive with no traffic, or about 15 minutes on foot to the nearest edge of the grounds.
- The board’s area for Murrayville. The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board files Murrayville listings under its Langley area (F60). Its F64 area, labelled “Salmon River”, is the rural land east of the village and does not include it. Pulling stats under the wrong label gives the wrong comparable set.
- Redevelopment optionality. Bill 44 / SSMUH allows up to four units on a lot that is under 4,050 m² (43,594 sq ft), serviced and not heritage-designated. In the Township's parcel data, 98.8% of Murrayville's R-1 and SR parcels are under that size. Servicing and heritage status still need checking lot by lot.
- Schools. On School District 35's maps, Five Corners is in James Hill Elementary's catchment, and the plan area west of 224 Street is in Langley Secondary's. Verify the current attendance area for a specific address in the SD35 school locator.
Buying in Murrayville
Read the location carefully: where a home sits relative to Fraser Highway and the hospital, and whether the comparable set you are working from is the village core or the rural blocks to the east. Check the lot's Bill 44 / SSMUH eligibility. The Langley Houseplex guide covers the framework. Property Transfer Tax applies as on any BC purchase. The BC Property Transfer Tax guide walks the brackets.
Selling in Murrayville
Pricing a Murrayville home means separating the village core from the rural blocks the board lumps into the same statistical area and deciding whether to market a legacy lot's redevelopment optionality. The Murrayville area overview and the Murrayville neighbourhood guide carry the deeper village history and the live market snapshot.

Murrayville real estate: common questions
If I pull Murrayville market stats myself, what should I know?
That the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board files Murrayville listings under its Langley area (F60), and its statistics system keeps a separate Murrayville series. Its F64 area, labelled "Salmon River", is a different place: the rural land east of the village, which does not include Murrayville. If you pull numbers under the "Salmon River" label and apply them to the village, you are working from the wrong comparable set.
Does proximity to Langley Memorial Hospital affect a home’s value?
It can, for buyers who want to be near it. Langley Memorial Hospital sits at 22051 Fraser Highway, 1.07 kilometres north-east of Five Corners: a 3.7 minute drive with no traffic, or about 15 minutes on foot to the nearest edge of the grounds. How much that is worth depends on the buyer, so compare recent sales on similar streets rather than assuming a premium.
Can I redevelop a Murrayville lot under Bill 44?
Often, but check the lot. Under the Township’s Bill 44 / SSMUH zoning amendments of November 18, 2024, a lot can hold up to four units if it is under 4,050 m² (43,594 sq ft), serviced and not heritage-designated. In the Township’s parcel data, 98.8% of Murrayville’s R-1 and SR parcels are under that size. Servicing and heritage status are separate tests, so pencil the actual buildable form for a specific lot.
What should I check before buying a heritage-adjacent Murrayville home?
Murrayville is a genuine historic village: the Murrayville Community Hall and the Traveller’s Hotel (built 1885 to 1889, on the Canadian Register of Historic Places) anchor Five Corners. A given home is usually not itself designated, but proximity to heritage buildings and the village-core character can shape both the appeal and the renovation context. Confirm whether a specific property carries any heritage listing or village-core overlay during due diligence.
