Neighbourhood guide

Living in Matsqui

Matsqui is a historic farming community on the Matsqui Prairie floodplain along the Fraser River in the north of the city. It centres on the small heritage village of Matsqui and its surrounding dyked farmland.

Location & boundaries

It lies in north Abbotsford on Matsqui Prairie, between the Fraser River and the central city, north of Clearbrook.

History

The District of Matsqui was incorporated in 1892 and amalgamated with Abbotsford in 1995. The prairie was dyked and converted to farmland in the early 1900s and was inundated in the great Fraser River floods of 1894 and 1948; early settlers included a notable Scandinavian community.

Lifestyle

The community is rural and agrarian, a quiet village surrounded by farms.

Housing & property types

Housing consists of farmhouses, rural acreages and village homes.

Parks & recreation

Matsqui Trail Regional Park runs along the Fraser River dyke, and the Matsqui Community Hall hosts events.

Schools

The area is served by the Abbotsford School District (SD34).

Who it may suit

It may suit buyers wanting farmland or a quiet rural-village setting near the river.

Buying a home in Matsqui

BC's 2023 small-scale multi-unit housing legislation now allows three to four units on most single-family lots in larger municipalities, which is reshaping what detached lots are worth. Check the lot's current zoning with the municipality, and get a home inspection and a title search before removing subjects.

Budget for BC's property transfer tax on top of the price — it's charged on the purchase and first-time buyers and new builds may qualify for exemptions. See our BC & Alberta closing costs checklist.
