Southlands Tsawwassen: Rooted in farming and food

By NextHome Staff

It’s a Metro Vancouver secret gem, a unique neighbourhood with a character and charm unlike any other. It was named Community of the Year at the 2023 Georgie Awards, where it received a total of five awards—more than any other that year.

People in the know aren’t surprised. Located adjacent to Centennial Beach and Boundary Bay Regional Park in South Delta, Southlands is a dynamic, multi-generational community that offers a breathtaking range of homes—flats, townhomes, non-strata rowhomes, courtyard cottages, and larger estate cottages.

But Southlands is so much more. It’s a place where people actually know their neighbours, spontaneous games of street hockey are an everyday occurrence, and life-long friendships blossom.

Where agriculture and community intersect

The heart of the community is Market Square, a lively gathering space where you’ll find farmers’ markets with produce grown on the adjacent agricultural lands, beautiful gardens, and the Red Barn with its metallic cow sculpture, a popular space for large scale events and celebrations.

The highly anticipated Four Winds restaurant and craft brewery is sure to become a favourite place to raise a pint with friends on the patio. Looking for ways to reduce your environmental footprint? Already attracting plenty of attention is The Hub Refillery where you can refill your containers from a curated selection of soaps, shampoos, conditioners, and detergents—good for you and the planet, too.

No wonder Southlands in Tsawwassen is often described as Metro Vancouver’s last small town.

 

 

Find your perfect home

If this sounds like the kind of lifestyle you crave, here’s some news to get you excited. Coming in 2024 are five new neighbourhoods, each with distinct charm and style. And best of all, most will be move-in ready.

Here’s a sneak peek. The Granary will offer stacked townhomes and garden flats, ideal for singles and growing families. Or check out Centennial Green for traditional three-level townhomes. Then there’s the High Street Rowhomes, a collection of just 10 non-strata homes including one with a detached coach house. Plus, the Beachcomber Cottages, modelled on the award-winning Courtyard Cottages, will offer two- and three-bedroom, bare land strata detached homes clustered around a private courtyard with firepit and outdoor lounge seating. Finally, there will be the Harrow Estate Cottages — large four-bedroom detached homes complete with double car garages.

“People love Southland’s small-town vibe and how diverse this neighbourhood is,” says Jaime Schlackl, manager of real estate marketing for Century Group. “You simply don’t find a community with this many housing types and every demographic imaginable, from singles and first-time buyers to downsizers to young families. All this, and you’ve still got easy access to downtown Vancouver, the airport, and the U.S. border.”

Why not see for yourself? The Southlands discovery centre is open 11a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday (closed Thursday/Friday) at 6388 Market Avenue in Tsawwassen, and make no mistake, it’s an adventure all on its own. When you visit, be sure to leave time for a latté and bakery treat at Prado Coffee. Visit discoversouthlands.ca or call 604.636.2220 for more information.
