Beautiful sunny Steveston!  Located at the Southwest corner of Richmond, BC, where the South arm of the Fraser River meets the Strait of Georgia.  Still a well-kept secret how beautiful it is with affordable housing ranging from brand new waterfront penthouses and single family homes to larger older homes and townhouses.

Steveston once was a Japanese fishing village but since the Cannery closed and is now a national heritage site, the waterfront has evolved into a combination of new condominiums, shops, walkways and wharfs, historic museums, and fishing boats.  To live in Steveston feels like a being on a vacation everyday. 

Many young families from Vancouver have discovered Steveston and moved here in recent years and are thrilled to discover how wonderful and close the amenities are.  Steveston Community Park is over 30 acres with huge green space, kids playground and waterpark, Community Centre, Japanese Cultural Centre, Martial Arts Centre, Public Library, outdoor swimming pool, communtiy RCMP station, batting cage for baseball/softball, tennis courts, lacrosse boxes, basketball courst and more.  Then there is Garry Point Park, Imperial Landing, Britannia Heritage Shipyard, London's Landing, public fishing piers, dyke trails and more.

Schools, shopping, and amenities are close. The VANCOUVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT (YVR) is a 10 minute drive away, the BC FERRY TERMINALS are 20 minutes, the USA border is 30 minutes.  The commute to downtown Vancouver is also a quick and pleasant commute heading North taking 20-30 minutes, depending on the time of day.

Steveston is part of the CITY OF RICHMOND, a very well-run City.   Home of the famous Olympic Oval located 10 minutes from Steveston.  The CANADA LINE connects Richmond to the lower mainland.

Last, but most importantly, is the community itself.  Steveston has synergy!  The community spirit is alive and well here.  Volunteers are actively involved in planning events such as the hugely successful Salmon Festival on July 1st, the Spectacle of Lights Christmas event in December, Halloween Trick or Treating in the Village, Easter Egg Hunt in the Village, and Farmers & Artisans Market.
