Housing in Aldergrove runs from detached houses built in the 1960s to 1980s to condos that haven’t been finished yet, with acreages on the edges. The honest headline is that the public price and rent numbers cover Langley as a whole, not Aldergrove alone, so we’ll show you those and then show you how to check a real address.
Buying a home in Aldergrove
What you’ll be looking at
Statistics Canada’s 2021 count of Aldergrove’s 4,554 occupied homes included 2,135 detached houses, 785 row houses, 1,075 apartments or flats in duplexes and 420 apartments in buildings under five storeys. Around 60% of dwellings were built between 1961 and 1990. That points to older roofs, windows and drainage and, in strata buildings, depreciation reports and capital plans worth reading properly.
Beyond the urban core, the choice changes: a rural property with more land and possibly farm use, rather than a townhouse near the bus loop. Gloucester, the industrial estate by Highway 1, isn’t a residential option.
What does it cost?
The Fraser Valley Real Estate Board’s September 2026 package (released 5 October) gives benchmark prices, which are modelled typical values, not asking prices. They are for the Langley market as a whole:
| Type | Langley benchmark | Change since Sept 2025 | Abbotsford, same month |
|---|---|---|---|
| Detached | $1,471,100 | -6.7% | $1,087,000 |
| Townhouse | $802,600 | -4.4% | $592,600 |
| Apartment | $525,900 | -9.2% | $370,200 |
Abbotsford’s benchmarks come out roughly 26% (detached and townhouse) to 30% (apartment) lower. That’s a useful reason Aldergrove households look east, but it compares two city-wide markets, not two addresses.
We don’t have a verified Aldergrove-only benchmark, so we won’t call it Langley’s cheapest community. To size up a particular home, look up its assessed value, lot, year built and neighbours on BC Assessment, then compare genuinely similar recent sales. For the wider process, see the Langley buying guide.
Property tax. The Township’s 2026 residential rate is $3.61686 per $1,000 of assessed value. On a $1,000,000 assessment that is $3,616.86 in rate-based tax, before grants, utility charges and property-specific charges. See property tax and utilities.
New and planned projects (information only)
| Project | Where | What | Status as of 30 Oct 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Aldergrove Town Centre (private) | 3100 272 St | Condos and commercial space on the former mall site. The contractor lists 260 condos, five buildings, two phases | Under construction, estimated fall 2027; project pages disagree on totals |
| Hart (part of the above) | Town centre | 158 homes described by the developer | “Coming soon”; earlier releases sold out, which doesn’t mean occupied |
| Aldergrove Apartments (BC Builds) | 27214 Fraser Hwy; 2978 and 2992 272 St | 128 rental apartments with commercial and community space | Permit issued 7 April 2025; groundbreaking 19 Sept 2025; estimated fall 2027 |
| Aldergrove Gateway | 27030 Fraser Hwy | Township-owned site beside the community centre | Public engagement held; no approved plan or date found |
| 26739 and 26771 24 Ave (file RO100249) | South-west Aldergrove | Application for 32 residential lots | Portal shows active; third reading was May 2023, so check for adoption and servicing |
| 268 Street (file SA101399) | South Aldergrove | Proposed 45 townhouses and 25 lots | Decision-letter milestone July 2026; not a building permit |
A portal status of “active” or a decision letter doesn’t mean rezoning is complete or that anyone has a move-in date. The Township’s development activity map shows each file’s real milestones. The town centre page has more on the downtown projects.
Checks that matter in Aldergrove
| If the property is… | Check |
|---|---|
| Near the town centre, or beside a tired-looking lot | The adopted land-use designation and any active application. The Core Area plan allows up to 16 storeys in some designations, but that’s not an approval for the lot next door |
| An established detached lot | Eligibility for small-scale multi-unit housing and the form-and-character development permit area the Township adopted on 27 April 2026 |
| A house advertised with a suite | Whether the suite is permitted, in the Township’s records. A second kitchen isn’t proof. See the Township’s secondary suites page |
| Beside Bertrand Creek or a drainage feature | The Township’s GeoSource environmental layers, and parcel-specific flood, streamside and geotechnical advice where it applies |
| Rural acreage or beside a farm | ALR status on the ALC map, zoning, access rights, and what the neighbouring farm does and when |
| On well or septic | Water testing, the well record, and the sewerage-system records and maintenance history; confirm municipal service for the parcel |
| On Highway 13, near Highway 1 or an industrial edge | Truck access and road plans; visit at shift-change times and when you’d be sleeping |
| An older strata, or a new phased condo | Depreciation report, insurance, planned work, and who is responsible for shared parkades and commercial components. Marketing amenities aren’t proof they’re finished |
Renting in Aldergrove
What the rental market looks like
Rentals here come as individually rented houses and basement suites, strata townhouses and apartments, and dedicated rental buildings, with more under construction. The census shows what the stock looks like (about 24% of households rent) but not what’s available right now, and we don’t have a representative sample of current Aldergrove asking rents.
The closest solid benchmark is CMHC’s October 2025 survey, which covers purpose-built rental buildings in Langley City and the Township combined:
| Unit | Average rent, October 2025 |
|---|---|
| Studio | $1,354 |
| One bedroom | $1,765 |
| Two bedrooms | $2,203 |
| Three or more bedrooms | $2,216 |
| All sizes | $2,007 |
The combined vacancy rate was 3.0% across 4,065 surveyed units. These aren’t Aldergrove figures, and they leave out most basement suites and individually rented condos, so they’re a starting reference rather than a quote for a new tenancy.
Named buildings
- Alderhaven, 27264 30 Avenue. Housing for people 55 and over run by Seniors Services Society, with income-related rent and pets permitted. Check current eligibility and how to apply through the society; we couldn’t confirm vacancies or waits.
- Aldergrove Apartments (former Alder Inn site). 128 homes under construction at Fraser Highway and 272 Street, with 70% at market rent and 30% at least 20% below market for income-eligible households. “Below market” hasn’t been turned into published rents yet, and we haven’t found an application opening, a bedroom-by-bedroom schedule or pet and parking policies. Watch the Township’s and BC Housing’s project pages.
Parking, pets and getting around
Before you sign, ask which stall comes with the unit, whether it fits your vehicle, what is charged separately, and what the written pet terms say. A suite near the 503 loop and a rural rental have very different transport needs; see getting around for the real bus frequencies, and the parking section if you own an RV or trailer.
