What the numbers mean

  • Owners valued the median home at $664K in the 2021 census. Indexed to September 2026 prices with the Greater Vancouver MLS® Home Price Index (-7% since then), that is about $657K, 40% below the Vancouver suburbs median of $1.09M. It is an estimate: the index tracks the whole region, not this neighbourhood.
  • 37% of households rent, close to the 36% city-wide.
  • 61% of homes are apartments (38% city-wide), so a condo is the usual way in.

How it's changing

These municipalities don't publish building permits by neighbourhood, so we can't chart construction here yet.

Safety

Neighbourhood-level crime figures aren't available for Langley City. Policing there is by the RCMP or a municipal police department, and neither publishes open crime counts by neighbourhood. Check Statistics Canada's crime tables for municipality-wide trends, and the local police website for crime maps. Why this is missing.
