Richmond Real Estate: Canada Line Condos, Steveston Village and Family Homes
Richmond puts YVR, the Canada Line and some of North America's best Asian dining on one island: towers along No. 3 Road and Aberdeen, the Golden Village food scene, and the fishing-village charm of Steveston with its harbour, Garry Point Park and miles of dyke trails. Downtown Vancouver is about 25 minutes by train.

Richmond gives buyers city-centre convenience and suburban space in one municipality, but island geography makes due diligence more important here than almost anywhere in the region. Here is what to know before you buy.
The Richmond micro-market
- City Centre towers: Concrete high-rises around Brighouse, Lansdowne and Aberdeen stations, walking distance to the Canada Line, malls and Richmond Centre.
- Townhomes: Richmond has one of the region's deepest townhome markets, from 1990s complexes to new three-storey rows in Garden City, Broadmoor and Terra Nova.
- Steveston: Low-rise condos and townhomes near the village and waterfront, plus character and newer detached homes in the surrounding streets.
- Large-lot detached homes: Seafair, Broadmoor, Saunders and Ironwood offer bigger lots than most of Metro Vancouver, many already rebuilt as large new homes.
- Farmland (ALR) properties: Agricultural Land Reserve rules limit what can be built, including house size, so check what's permitted before you pay for land.
Rules and risks specific to Richmond
- Flood plain: Most of Richmond sits on low-lying Lulu Island behind a dike system. New homes must meet the city's flood construction levels, which affects design and renovation plans.
- Seismic and soils: Soft delta soils mean structural and geotechnical reports matter, especially for older homes and additions.
- Airport noise: Flight paths over north and west Richmond affect some streets more than others. Visit at different times of day.
- Highway 99 tunnel: The George Massey Tunnel replacement is underway; expect commute and construction changes on the south side.
Schools and family appeal
- Richmond School District: Steveston-London, Hugh McRoberts, A.R. MacNeill and R.C. Palmer are among the secondary schools families ask about most.
- Post-secondary: Kwantlen Polytechnic University's Richmond campus, with UBC and BCIT a short drive away.
- Recreation: The Richmond Olympic Oval, Minoru Centre for Active Living, Garry Point Park, Terra Nova and the West Dyke Trail.
- Daily life: Aberdeen Centre, the summer night market, Steveston fish-and-chips, and the Canada Line to downtown and the airport.
School catchments change. Confirm the address with the school district before you write an offer.

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.
Living in Richmond
Richmond is a city of 209,937 people (2021 census) built on the islands of the Fraser River delta: almost all of Lulu Island, plus Sea Island, home to Vancouver International Airport. The land averages about a metre above sea level, so the city is ringed by dykes, and those dykes double as one of the region's best walking and cycling trail networks.
The delta's rich soil also means Richmond keeps significant farmland alongside its urban core. At the island's southwest tip, Steveston is a historic fishing village with a working harbour and national historic sites including the Gulf of Georgia Cannery and Britannia Shipyard.
Richmond neighbourhoods at a glance
The City Centre around Brighouse holds most of Richmond's high-rise condos, close to the Canada Line. West Cambie and East Cambie to the north mix townhomes and houses. Established detached neighbourhoods include Seafair, Quilchena, Broadmoor, Saunders and Mclennan, while Terra Nova, in the northwest, and Steveston offer riverfront living. Hamilton, in the far east, is a smaller, quieter community.
Getting around
The Canada Line SkyTrain runs from Richmond–Brighouse through the City Centre to downtown Vancouver, with a branch to the airport. Highway 99 crosses the city north–south toward the George Massey Tunnel and the US border, and Highway 91 links east toward New Westminster and Delta. Public schools are run by the Richmond School District (SD38).

Common questions
Buying in Richmond
If yours isn't here, ask us directly — we'd rather answer it now.

Yes. Richmond covers almost all of Lulu Island in the Fraser River delta, plus Sea Island, where Vancouver International Airport is, and several smaller islands.
How do you get from Richmond to downtown Vancouver?
By the Canada Line SkyTrain from Richmond–Brighouse or the City Centre stations, or by car via Highway 99 and the Oak Street or Arthur Laing bridges.
Is Richmond at risk of flooding?
The city sits about a metre above sea level and is protected by an extensive dyke system. Ask about flood construction levels and insurance when buying, especially for older homes.

How long have homes in Richmond been on the market?

Can non-Canadians buy a home in Richmond?
Generally not right now. Since January 1, 2023, the federal Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act has barred most non-Canadians from buying residential property, with exceptions such as permanent residents and some work-permit holders. The ban has been extended before, so confirm its current status and get legal advice on your situation.
