ππ Watching These 3 Langley Communities? π‘ These three Langley communities consistently show where the Township is heading. Each one moves differently, and each one tells a clear story about how Langley is evolving. In this week’s video, I break down Willoughby Heights, Walnut Grove and Fort Langley and share what I’m seeing after thirty years in the Langley and Fraser Valley real estate market. β¨ Willoughby Heights A fast-growing, walkable community with schools, shops and parks close by. Newer homes, fresh amenities and the coming SkyTrain keep demand strong year-round. β¨ Walnut Grove A mature, settled neighbourhood with a real sense of community. Older homes, established parks and trails, excellent schools and quick freeway access make it one of Langley’s most stable areas. β¨ Fort Langley A village lifestyle like nowhere else. Character homes, river trails, a vibrant main street and ongoing shifts in housing create a market shaped by pride of ownership and long-term confidence. β€οΈ Community Update Thank you to everyone who came out for Photos with Santa at St. George’s Church. Families, kids and pets filled the room, Santa was in fine form and the cookies were great. Together, we raised over $500 for LAPS, and that support means a lot. π Thinking of selling or planning ahead for 2025? I offer clear, experienced guidance and a straightforward look at your options.
