Neighbourhood guide

Living in Steveston

Steveston is a historic fishing village at the southwest tip of Richmond where the Fraser River meets the sea, known for its working waterfront, heritage sites and boardwalk.

Location & boundaries

It occupies the southwest corner of Lulu Island at the mouth of the Fraser's South Arm, reached via No. 1 Road and Steveston Highway. Woodwards and Seafair lie to the north and Ironwood to the northeast.

History

From the late 1800s Steveston was a major salmon-canning centre nicknamed 'Salmonopolis,' home to canneries and a multi-ethnic workforce of First Nations, Chinese, Japanese and European residents until the fishery declined in the 1970s.

Lifestyle

Today it blends a village atmosphere with tourism, a commercial fishing wharf, cafes and year-round events.

Housing & property types

Housing includes detached homes, townhouses and low-rise condominiums, including newer developments near the village.

Shopping & dining

The village core along Moncton and Bayview Streets offers independent shops, seafood restaurants and Fisherman's Wharf, where boats sell fresh catch.

Parks & recreation

Garry Point Park, the West Dyke Trail and the Steveston Community Centre serve the area.

Schools

Getting around

Buying a home in Steveston

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.
