Homes for Sale in Murrayville, BC

Murrayville is the historic heart of central Langley — the cluster of streets around the "Five Corners," where Old Yale Road meets 216 Street and 48 Avenue. Paul Murray's family settled here in 1874–75 on crown grants of 160 acres at each corner of the old Yale Road / Fort Langley Trail crossing, the post office made "Murrayville" official in 1925, and the village served as the Township's political centre until municipal hall moved to the City of Langley in 1955. What's lovely is how much of that is still legible on the ground. The Murrayville Community Memorial Hall at 21667 48 Avenue still anchors the corner (rebuilt in 1928 after the 1924 hall burned, on land P.Y. Porter deeded for $1 in 1944), and the Traveller's Hotel — built 1885–89 by Billy Murray, Paul's son — remains the oldest standing structure in the village and sits on the federal historic places register.

The thing that sets Murrayville apart from most of Langley is simple: you can walk to the things you use. A corner grocery, the pub, the bakery in its heritage house, the Memorial Hall, the spray park — all within a few blocks of Five Corners. That kind of small-village walkability is rare south of the Fraser, and it's a big part of why people who settle here tend to stay.
