Living in White Rock: What the Listings Say

Condos make up 48. 7 percent of the 275 listings in White Rock, 134 units in all. Detached houses come next at 41. 8 percent, 115 of them. Together they define the market. Townhouses account for 14 listings, a 5. 1 percent share, with a smaller group of half duplexes and other homes filling out the rest. The median home here was built in 1993, so much of the stock has settled into its neighbourhood. The median living area is 1,427 square feet. Prices split sharply by type. Condos carry a median of $633,000, while detached houses run to $1,898,800. That gap tells you who buys what. The full range starts at $287,500 and reaches $7,980,000, so both first purchases and top-tier houses trade here. Newer construction exists too, with new builds making up 16. 2 percent of what is listed. This is a mix of older apartments and established houses.

The median strata fee here runs $563 a month, and that number shapes daily life more than any single figure. A condo at $633,000 with those fees covers a lot: the median unit gives you 1,427 square feet in a building often dating to 1993. You get maintenance, common areas, and the shared costs of an older property. Buildings like Miramar Village, Foster Martin, and Sussex House carry the bulk of the strata listings. Nine of them sit in Miramar Village alone. Detached buyers trade that monthly fee for a larger commitment, with a median list price of $1,898,800 and full responsibility for the roof and grounds. Think about what your month looks like. A two-bedroom condo, priced around $704,500 across 126 listings, keeps carrying costs predictable and the footprint manageable. A four-bedroom house at $2,495,000 asks more of your budget and your weekends. That $563 fee is the line between the two lives on offer. Where you land depends on how much space you need and how much upkeep you want to hand off.

Start by narrowing the 275 active listings to one price band that fits your budget. There are 59 listings between $1M and $1. 5M, 45 in the $500K to $750K range, and 47 above $2. 5M, so the field looks different depending on where you sit. Pick your band, then filter by type. Book showings across two or three properties in a single band. Comparing a $704,500 two-bedroom against a $1,074,000 townhouse in person tells you more than any spreadsheet. Bring your questions about strata and square footage. Then decide.
