What it is like

Why people choose Tsawwassen.

Tsawwassen is known for being one of the sunniest spots in the region. Centennial Beach and Boundary Bay are right there, the town centre is small and friendly, and the ferries to Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands are minutes away. It suits families and anyone looking for a slower pace.

Questions

Tsawwassen questions.

Still have a question? Book a free call 778 900 1010

What types of homes are in Tsawwassen?

Mostly detached houses, with townhomes and condos around the town centre. The Census figures above show the full mix.

What is the difference between leasehold and freehold?

Many newer homes on the Tsawwassen First Nation lands are leasehold. You own the home for the length of the lease, not the land. This affects your mortgage, your taxes and resale, so we will go through it carefully.

How long is the commute to Vancouver?

Most people drive through the Massey Tunnel, so the time of day matters a lot. Buses also connect to the Canada Line in Richmond.

Is Tsawwassen good for families?

Many families choose it for the beaches, parks and schools. It is quiet and safe, with a real community feel.
