Langley, British Columbia, with its quaint village charm and unique history, is witnessing a surge in real estate demand, particularly in Fort Langley, once a pivotal export port for cedar lumber and salted salmon. This increase in demand is reflected in the Langley MLS® Listings, showcasing a variety of properties from Langley homes for sale to Langley condos for sale and town-homes for sale, catering to a growing population of white-collar commuters and professionals.
The transition from a blue-collar base to a more diverse community has sparked a significant interest in new housing within this charming village. This is evident in the transformation of the former local lumber mill site, controversially rezoned in 2005 for medium-density residential development. By 2006, construction commenced on Bedford Landing, a massive master-planned community set to introduce around 1,500 new residents to an area that has long valued its stable population of 2,500 to 3,000 across generations.
Downtown Fort Langley, situated along the Fraser River, boasts a public walkway part of the Trans Canada Trail and a rowing facility completed in 2009, enhancing the area's appeal. Langley's blend of historical roots and modern living makes it an attractive location for owning a home, with its scenic beauty and community-oriented lifestyle.
