Homes for Sale in Brookswood & Fernridge, BC

Brookswood and Fernridge sit in the south-central Township of Langley, roughly between 200 and 208 Streets and 0 to 40 Avenue. The Township groups the two as a single planning unit in the Brookswood-Fernridge Community Plan. The "Brookswood" name first appeared in BC directories in 1929 / the 1930 BC Gazetteer, named for the Brooks family who settled the area and built the original community hall on 200 Street; "Fernridge" is the official Township NP name for the southern portion. Fernridge Hall was built in 1921 at 200 Street & 24 Avenue and operates as a community venue today, more than a century later. The neighbourhood population sits around 13,500, on density well below the rest of Langley, with a slightly older median age.

The Brookswood-Fernridge Community Plan (Bylaw No. 5300) was adopted by Township Council on October 23, 2017, replacing a 1987 plan after years of contentious public meetings (the original 2014 OCP draft would have grown Brookswood from 13,500 to roughly 42,000 residents and triggered the "Battle for Brookswood" coverage). Council then directed staff to prepare three Neighbourhood Plans: Booth, Fernridge, and Rinn — all approved at the July 24, 2023 council meeting with Councillor Kim Richter the dissenting vote. Revised plans (Booth Bylaw 6008, Fernridge Bylaw 6009, Rinn Bylaw 6010) were re-issued in 2024 to align with provincial Bill 44. Build-out across the three NPs was scaled down to roughly 59,900 people, with each NP requiring 26% of developable area as greenspace.
