It’s a community like no other, the birthplace of British Columbia and a beloved riverside village. People who live in Fort Langley seldom want to leave. It’s just that kind of ambience.

Now, there’s a new way to experience this one-of-a-kind neighbourhood. Introducing Lēah Fort Langley Village Homes, 41 modern townhomes with all the charm of yesteryear.

“This is the first townhome development in Fort Langley for seven years,” says Ben Taddei, chief operating officer of Conwest Developments. “We really wanted this project to pay homage to the site’s rich history and the people who have family roots here—sometimes going back generations.”

A Fort Langley gem

From the moment you arrive, it’s clear Leah has achieved exactly that. “Response from the community has been overwhelmingly supportive,” says Danielle Reed, president of Breakside Real Estate Group, adding that the first buyers will be moving in this summer as two of the nine buildings are now nearing completion.

Designed by Site lines Architecture, a Fort Langley-based firm with a deep understanding of the town’s unique character and culture, exteriors feature natural-tone shingles, colourful doorways, natural stone chimneys, and mullioned windows. Cosy covered porches overlook whimsical picket fences and send an open invitation to passersby to pause for a few moments of conversation.

Your forever home

Inside, Leah is sheer 21st century. Open-concept floorplans are wide and spacious, so they recreate the feel of a single-family home filled with plenty of natural light. There’s an effortless flow between spaces that’s ideal for entertaining with family and friends, yet creates an intimate setting when it just you and your sweetheart for a candlelight dinner.

“Leah is about lifestyle,” Danielle says. “Buyers appreciate the quality they see here, details like engineered hardwood flooring, integrated appliances, vaulted ceilings in the primary bedroom, and air conditioning. These are homes you grow into, not out of. For people downsizing from the family home, it becomes an effortless transition.”

Village living

Located on the banks of the Fraser River, Fort Langley remains a close-knit community where people know their neighbours and the many local boutique owners frequently greet customers by name.

Long a magnet for book lovers and java fans, Wendel’s Bookshop & Café is an icon that’s as much a social hub as a retail shop. Around the corner, the massive Village Antique Mall is a not-to-be-missed meander down memory lane, where you simply never know what special treasure awaits discovery. Eateries range from retro to global cuisine and comfort pub fare. There’s art galleries, the Floralista Flower Studio, even Watermelon Tree Baby & Kids for the younger set.

And, of course, the Langley Fort itself, where you’ll find historical displays, open public markets, and live entertainment showcasing the community.

Leah’s presentation centre and display home are now open Saturday through Wednesday (closed Thursday/Friday) at 37 – 9122 King Street in Fort Langley.
