Langley City

Langley City is home to about 29,000 people, with a median age in the early forties and about two in three households owning where they live. Most of what comes up for sale is an apartment; houses are a smaller share, townhouses smaller still. Two-bedroom places are the most common size.

Downtown Langley is where the shops and the restaurants are. Hot & Toasty Cafe and Everest Cafe are the coffee shops, and Sandy's Pastries is part of the same walk.

Uplands Park is the big off-leash area, a wide field under the power lines with the Dog Park Loop Trail running off 206 Street for walking, jogging and cycling. There's a second off-leash park at City Park, along 207 Street between 48 and 51 Avenue.

City Park also holds Memorial Pool, an outdoor 25-metre, eight-lane pool with swimming lessons and aquafit. Timms Community Centre handles recreation registration, in person or by phone.

The public elementaries are Uplands on 207A Street, Blacklock Fine Arts and Douglas Park Community on 206 Street, Nicomekl on 53 Avenue, Simonds on 48 Avenue. H D Stafford Middle and U-Connect secondary are public, Whytecliff Agile Learning Centre-Langley independent. Check the catchment map for an address.
