Neighbourhood guide
Living in Uptown
Uptown is White Rock's town centre, set on the hill above the waterfront around the Five Corners junction and Johnston Road. It holds most of the city's everyday shopping, services and its main transit hub.
Location & boundaries
On the plateau above the beach, centred on Johnston Road and the Five Corners area near North Bluff Road, above East and West Beach and surrounded by Surrey on three sides.
History
White Rock grew from a seaside resort into a city, incorporating in 1957 to separate from Surrey, with the uptown becoming its commercial and civic centre.
Lifestyle
A walkable town-centre district serving residents year-round, busier and more everyday-oriented than the seasonal waterfront.
Housing & property types
A mix of condominiums and apartments, including higher-density buildings, alongside detached homes on surrounding streets.
Shopping & dining
Johnston Road and the Five Corners area form the main commercial district of shops, restaurants and services.
Schools
Served by the Surrey School District (SD36).
Getting around
White Rock Centre is the city's primary bus exchange, with TransLink routes connecting to King George Station and Bridgeport; Highway 99 provides regional access.
Community facilities
The uptown holds civic services and the city's main commercial core.
Who it may suit
Buyers wanting walkable town-centre living with transit and shopping close by.

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.

Can non-Canadians buy a home in Uptown?
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.
