Buying or Renting Near Willowbrook, Langley: Condos, Rentals and the Station-Area Plans

Nobody publishes a Willowbrook-only price list, and anyone who quotes you one is guessing. What you can do is stack up three solid sources: the regional benchmark prices, CMHC’s rent survey and the actual buildings. We’ve done that below, and flagged where a number covers more ground than Willowbrook.

Buying a home in Willowbrook

What there is to buy, and where

We found no representative acreage market inside the Willowbrook area. A listing that says “near Willowbrook” on acreage needs its actual community, ALR status and servicing checked.

What do homes cost?

These are Fraser Valley Real Estate Board-wide benchmarks for September 2026, as displayed by CREA. The board covers much of the Fraser Valley, so treat them as direction, not a Willowbrook valuation.

Our Langley buying guide covers the purchase process. For a specific property, BC Assessment records and a dated comparison of recent sales on the same street do the job.

Property tax, for scale. On an imaginary $600,000 taxable assessment, the 2026 residential rates give $2,524.02 in the City of Langley (4.2067 per $1,000) and $2,170.12 in the Township (3.61686 per $1,000). That’s the general levy only, before grants, utilities and special charges, and $600,000 is an example, not a typical Willowbrook value.

Developments and proposals

Seven proposed towers across two sites is an eye-catching number, but it’s not seven approved towers. These are information, not sales listings, and we haven’t given anyone’s sales contacts. To follow a file, use the Township’s development application search and our guide to following development applications.

What the station-area rules actually say

The Township designated a Willowbrook transit-oriented area on 2 May 2025, and the City’s new zoning bylaw (No. 3300, adopted 9 March 2026) has matching station-area provisions. Under the provincial framework, the municipality has to allow at least these heights and densities for eligible residential development near the station:

Read those as minimums the rules must allow, not buildings that will be built. Both municipalities keep airport height limits in place, and the Township’s own Willowbrook plan update has been paused since an October 2024 decision to seek changes to airport regulations first. Use the legal maps for your parcel, because 800 m on a circle isn’t 800 m of walking.

Checks before you buy at a specific address

• Plans on both sides of the line. A 1991 Willowbrook map or an old Routley-area brochure isn’t enough. The Township adopted a new Official Community Plan in December 2025 and replaced several Willoughby plans on 15 June 2026, and existing applications may still use the old ones until June 2028.
• Water. For City homes near the Nicomekl and Brydon side, check the floodplain bylaw map. In the Township, check streams and setbacks (there has been creek work around 64 Avenue and 201 Street). Being near a creek doesn’t mean a unit floods, and being away from one doesn’t mean it can’t.
• Road frontage and future works. Ask planning or engineering about dedications, setbacks and active applications on the parcel. The Willowbrook Connector widening finished in July 2026, and SkyTrain work is active around 196 Street.
• Strata paperwork. For resales, read the depreciation report, engineer’s reports, minutes, insurance deductible and planned work. We found no evidence of a common defect across Willowbrook’s buildings, so don’t assume one, and don’t skip the documents.
• Suites and servicing. Confirm any secondary suite is legal and that the parcel has municipal water and sewer, using the City’s zoning bylaw or the Township’s parcel and permit records.
• Noise. Visit the unit’s balcony and bedroom at rush hour. Homes facing 200 Street, 64 Avenue, Fraser Highway, the Bypass or the rail corridor near the Bypass are the ones to listen at.

Renting in Willowbrook

Buildings we can name

Both sit south of the mall, in a different school catchment and on a different walk from the shopping core. Condos and secondary suites on the Township side are rented too, but we can’t tell you how many, whether each suite is legal, or what they ask. For those, ask the landlord for the strata bylaws and the suite’s permit status.

What do rents run?

CMHC’s most local table combines Langley City and Township. These are October 2025 averages across purpose-built rentals, not this month’s ads and not Willowbrook-only:

The same survey found 3.0% vacancy across the broader Langley area against 3.7% for Metro Vancouver, from a sample of 4,065 units with a median rent of $2,000. Don’t read the three-bedroom figure as an asking rent for a new townhome.

Parking, pets and what to put in writing

Before you sign near the mall or station, get four things in the lease: the parking stall and its monthly charge, a visitor parking arrangement, storage, and the pet rules (species, size, number). “Pet-friendly” on a building page is a starting point, not a term of your tenancy. The Township’s station-area zone removes conventional residential parking minimums, which says nothing about whether the particular building has a stall for you. We didn’t find a confirmed list of new purpose-built rentals under construction in the immediate Willowbrook core, so don’t plan on one.

For your rights as a tenant, rent increases and disputes, use the Residential Tenancy Branch, and our renting in Langley guide for how it works locally.
