Stretching 16 kilometres from King George Station to Langley City, this long-anticipated line will reshape commuting patterns, unlock development potential, and redefine real estate demand in Surrey’s fastest-growing communities: Fleetwood, Clayton Heights, and Cloverdale.
The Project at a Glance
- Length: 16 km of elevated track
- Stations: 8 new stops, including key hubs in Fleetwood and Clayton
- Current Anticipated In-Service Date: Late 2029
- Purpose: Reduce congestion, connect Surrey and Langley to the regional transit network, and support future population growth
Fleetwood: The Early Hotspot
Fleetwood sits at the heart of the SkyTrain extension, with several stations planned along Fraser Highway.- Transit proximity drives demand: Townhomes and condos near future stations are seeing stronger buyer interest.
- Rezoning is accelerating: Surrey’s Fleetwood Plan anticipates higher-density housing, including mid-rise and mixed-use developments.
- Investor activity is growing: Transit-adjacent properties historically outperform the broader market, making Fleetwood a prime opportunity.
A townhouse near the future 152 Street station could become significantly more desirable once the line is operational—offering both value growth and rental potential.
Clayton Heights: From Suburban to Connected Urban
Clayton Heights has long been known for its family-friendly vibe and abundant townhomes. With the SkyTrain extension, it’s evolving into a more connected community:- Faster commutes: Reduced travel times to central Surrey and beyond will make Clayton more appealing to professionals.
- Urbanisation potential: Mixed-use development near stations will bring new shops, services, and a more walkable environment.
- Affordability advantage: Clayton Heights is increasingly attractive to first-time buyers priced out of Burnaby or Coquitlam.
Cloverdale: The Next Wave
- While Cloverdale isn’t directly on the first phase of the SkyTrain line, it’s still poised to benefit:
- Spillover demand: As prices rise in Fleetwood and Clayton, buyers seeking value will move into Cloverdale.
- Improved connectivity: Short drives or bus links to nearby stations will make commuting easier.
- Family-friendly appeal: With larger homes and great schools, Cloverdale remains a strong draw for families who want space without losing future transit access.
What This Means for Buyers and Sellers
For Buyers:- Getting in early near future stations (Fleetwood especially) could mean strong long-term appreciation.
- Clayton Heights offers a balance of affordability and future transit access.
- Cloverdale provides value today, with the benefit of future proximity to transit-driven demand.
- Highlight transit access if your property is near a planned station—it’s a major selling point.
- Leverage future connectivity in Cloverdale to appeal to buyers seeking long-term value.
The Bottom Line
The Surrey–Langley SkyTrain extension isn’t just an infrastructure project—it’s a real estate trendsetter. Fleetwood is poised for transformation, Clayton Heights is becoming more urban and connected, and Cloverdale will see a wave of spillover demand as the line progresses.For buyers, the message is clear: the earlier you position yourself in these markets, the better the upside potential.
