Future Developments in Langley: What’s Coming and How It Impacts Property Values

Langley has always held a special place in the Fraser Valley — a community where rolling farmland meets modern neighbourhoods, where families thrive, and where growth never seems to stop. Over the last decade, Langley has transformed from a bedroom community into one of the most desirable and fastest-growing real estate markets in British Columbia.

But here’s what’s truly exciting: the future. The next 10–15 years are set to reshape the Langley real estate market in ways that will directly impact property values, investment opportunities, and lifestyle appeal. From the SkyTrain extension that will finally connect Langley to Metro Vancouver’s rapid transit system, to ambitious housing developments, commercial expansions, new schools, and community infrastructure projects, the stage is being set for significant long-term growth.

If you’re a homeowner, buyer, or investor, this is your chance to understand not just what’s happening now, but what’s coming down the pipeline — and how you can benefit from it.

The SkyTrain Extension – Langley’s Transit Revolution

The Surrey-Langley SkyTrain extension is the most transformative development on the horizon. For decades, Langley residents have relied on cars and buses for commuting. That’s all about to change.

By the early 2030s, the SkyTrain will extend 16 kilometres from Surrey’s King George Station to Langley City Centre, adding multiple stops along Fraser Highway. This project is estimated at over $4 billion and will fundamentally change how people live, work, and commute.

Why It Matters for Property Values

History tells us transit drives value. Neighbourhoods near SkyTrain stations in Burnaby, New Westminster, and Coquitlam saw home prices climb dramatically after service began. The same trend is expected in Langley. Homes within walking distance of future stations will command a premium, and investors are already snapping up condos and townhomes near Willowbrook and Langley City in anticipation.

Rentals will also boom. Tenants value convenience, and being close to a SkyTrain stop means faster commutes and no reliance on cars. Expect rental rates to climb sharply in areas within 1–2 kilometres of stations.

New Residential Developments – Meeting Growing Demand

Langley’s population is projected to grow by over 30% in the next decade. With that growth comes an urgent need for housing. The Township and City of Langley are working hand-in-hand with developers to bring thousands of new homes to the market.

Willoughby Heights

Already the epicenter of growth, Willoughby Heights is transforming with master-planned communities featuring condos, townhomes, and family-friendly amenities. The 200th Street corridor is lined with new developments, and more are coming. Families love the schools and parks, while professionals love the access to Highway 1. Property values here have already climbed significantly, but with more density coming, long-term appreciation remains strong.

Aldergrove

Once overlooked, Aldergrove real estate is on the rise. Affordable prices compared to other parts of Langley make it attractive to first-time buyers and investors. With new amenities like the Aldergrove Credit Union Community Centre and more housing projects planned, Aldergrove is evolving into a vibrant community. Investors who get in now will benefit from steady price growth.

Brookswood-Fernridge

The Brookswood-Fernridge Community Plan allows for redevelopment and higher density. Over the next decade, this semi-rural neighbourhood will see significant change as townhomes, condos, and mixed-use developments replace older single-family homes. Property owners here stand to gain big from rezoning and redevelopment.

Langley City

With the SkyTrain on the way, Langley City is a hotbed for new condo projects. Developers know demand will skyrocket once transit is complete, and buyers are already lining up. For investors, this is prime territory for long-term rental growth.

Commercial Growth – Jobs Fueling Real Estate

Langley isn’t just adding homes; it’s becoming an employment hub. Commercial and industrial developments are expanding along Highway 1, attracting businesses that bring jobs and economic growth.

The Willowbrook Shopping Centre expansion is one example, turning Langley into a retail destination. Industrial parks in Gloucester and Port Kells are also adding thousands of jobs, while office spaces near Langley City will grow as SkyTrain attracts professionals who want to work closer to home.

More jobs equal more residents. And more residents mean stronger demand for both rentals and homes for sale. For investors, this is an ideal scenario: stable long-term demand driven by employment.

Schools, Parks, and Community Upgrades

Families are the backbone of Langley’s real estate market. That’s why schools, parks, and recreation matter so much.

New elementary and secondary schools are being built in Willoughby and Brookswood to serve growing populations. Recreation centres like the Aldergrove Credit Union Community Centre have become hubs for sports, fitness, and family events.

Parks are also expanding. Campbell Valley, Derby Reach, and Aldergrove Regional Park are seeing upgrades, while new green spaces are being planned as part of housing developments.

For families, this translates to lifestyle value. For investors, it means strong rental demand in catchments with top-rated schools and close access to parks.

Zoning Changes and Redevelopment

Langley’s Official Community Plans are paving the way for higher density, especially around the SkyTrain line.

Single-family lots near Fraser Highway may be rezoned for townhomes or condos, creating opportunities for landowners and investors. Developers are already scouting land assemblies in Langley City and Willoughby, offering premiums to homeowners willing to sell.

If you own property in one of these zones, your land could be worth far more than you think. And if you’re an investor, buying land with redevelopment potential can yield big returns.
