Heritage streets under big trees, river light at the end of Glover Road, and a main street people drive an hour to walk. The rarest thing in the Lower Mainland isn't waterfront. It's a real village, and this is one.
Benchmark prices from the Fraser Valley Real Estate Board's MLS® Home Price Index, September 2026 data, October 2026 report and updated monthly. Langley-wide activity figures from the board's September 2026 package and its MLS database (F60 Langley). The board’s monthly package reports activity for Langley as a whole and no finer (the three-month Langley-wide figures come from its MLS database); the Fort Langley figures on this page come from a separate pull of the board’s database and are labelled as such. Population from the 2021 Census of Canada.
Fort Langley runs on foot. You walk to coffee, walk to the river, and somewhere in the first month you stop calling it "the village" ironically. Thirty-eight hundred people live here; sixty thousand a year visit the fort alone. That ratio explains the place, the main street is bakeries, galleries, antique rooms and patios in buildings that have earned their paint, and the community defends that character with a vigilance that borders on religion. Which is precisely why it holds.
Know what you're signing up for. Summer weekends belong partly to the visitors; parking near Glover Road becomes a contact sport, and you will learn the back way to everything. The village floats on the Fraser's shoulder, so the flood-plain designations on the riverward streets are a real diligence item, not a reason to walk away, a reason to ask the right questions before you offer. And inventory is thin, permanently, a village of thirty-eight hundred boxed in by water, farmland and a community plan that has never blinked. Houses here trade hands the way heirlooms do. What is for sale this week is on the live feed further down this page.
Who thrives here: people who want their town small, their trees old, and their evenings on a porch that faces a street worth watching. Who shouldn't buy here: anyone who resents paying a premium for feeling, because in Fort Langley the feeling is most of the asset, and the market prices it accordingly.
Three markets share one postal code. The heritage core carries character homes on village lots, and the board's benchmark for a typical detached house in Fort Langley is $2,083,200, down 4.9% on the year and up 1.9% on the month (FVREB MLS® HPI, September 2026). Bedford Landing, built on the old sawmill lands, holds the river's edge and nearly all of the village's attached supply, strata townhomes and apartments nearer the water, craftsman freeholds on the inner streets, and it is where the scarcity argument stops being a story and becomes a number. The Fort Langley apartment benchmark is $755,600: the highest apartment benchmark of any Langley sub-area, well clear of Willoughby Heights at $565,700 and Langley City at $468,900. A condo in this village costs more than a condo anywhere else in Langley. Townhouses carry a $911,700 benchmark, second in Langley only to Salmon River. Across every form the village composite is $1,657,200, down 5.5% on the year and up 0.7% on the month, and up 56.9% over ten years (FVREB MLS® HPI, September 2026). The common thread is supply that cannot grow: the Fraser on one side, the ALR on the others, and a community plan that guards the middle. They are not making more Fort Langley, and the ledger shows it. Benchmark prices: Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, October 2026 report (September 2026 data).

Second highest in Langley, behind Salmon River alone. The village composite across all forms is $1,657,200, down 5.5% on the year and up 0.7% on the month, and up 56.9% over ten years (FVREB MLS® HPI, September 2026).
The board’s monthly package reports activity for Langley as a whole and no finer (the three-month Langley-wide figures come from its MLS database); the Fort Langley figures on this page come from a separate pull of the board’s database and are labelled as such. Langley-wide, 64 detached sales in September 2026; from July to September, 22 days on market at 96.8% of list (three monthly medians, weighted by sales); townhomes 19 days at 98.2%; apartments 27 days at 97.1%.
The house benchmark is $2,083,200, up 1.9% on the month and unchanged since June (down 4.9% on September 2025). In the board’s database 3 Fort Langley houses sold in September (2 in August) and 6 came to market (6 in August); 19 were active at the end of the month (19 at the end of August). From July to September 7 sold, against 14 from April to June: 8.1 months of supply at that pace, 35 days on market and 96.4% of list price (three monthly medians, weighted by sales). The townhouse benchmark is $911,700 (down 1.5% on the month, down 0.2% since June): 2 sold from July to September (2 from April to June), 4 active at the end of September. The apartment benchmark is $755,600 (down 0.9% on the month, down 2.2% since June): 3 sold from July to September (4 from April to June), 4 active at the end of September.
September’s 3 house sales compare with 2 in August, and the number active went from 19 to 19. Over three months 7 sold against 14 in the three months before, and the benchmark moved 0.0%; across Langley the same figures are 212 against 254 and −1.6%. At the three-month pace Fort Langley carries 8.1 months of house supply, against 6.2 for Langley as a whole on the same arithmetic. Three months of sales in one neighbourhood is a small number, a neighbourhood index can move several percent in a month, and none of these figures is seasonally adjusted. Sub-area figures from the board’s MLS® database, read 5 October 2026; the board’s monthly package publishes activity Langley-wide and no finer. Months of supply: active listings at the end of September divided by the average monthly sales of July to September. Analysis our own.
Not a listings map. The life of the place: where the coffee is, where the good walks start, and where the bus stops.
The Fort-to-Fort Trail is the signature walk, the Fraser on your shoulder the whole way west to Derby Reach Regional Park and Edgewater Bar. Marina Park and the Bedford Channel boardwalk carry the evening strolls; Brae Island Regional Park sits directly across the channel for the longer Sunday loop; Fort Langley Community Park holds the diamonds and courts; and the National Historic Site, the fort itself, established 1827, is the lawn sixty thousand visitors a year photograph and every local picnics on.
Wendel's Bookstore & Café, at the corner of Glover and Mavis, is the living room, bookstore in front, full kitchen behind, open early. Trading Post Brewing pours the village's own beer in the old general-store spirit; Blacksmith Bakery and Republica Coffee Roasters split the morning trade; the Fort Pub holds the evening. Around them, the Glover Road shopfronts carry the galleries, antique rooms and patios that make the main street the main street. The favoured-tables shortlist is re-walked for every monthly edition, never stale, never borrowed from a review site.
Glover Road is the spine. TransLink's Route 562 threads the village, linking Langley Centre and Walnut Grove, where the Carvolth exchange carries the express network toward SkyTrain and the airport run. The Golden Ears Bridge puts Maple Ridge ten minutes across the river; Highway 1 sits ten minutes back through the fields, close enough to use, far enough that the village stays a village.
May Day brings the parade and the maypole on the Victoria Day weekend, one of the oldest traditions in the province. The Fort Langley Jazz Festival fills the streets each July; Canada Day belongs to the fort; and October is the Cranberry Festival, running since 1995, when the harvest and the whole region show up at once. If you live here, you don't attend these. You're in them.
Three diligence items decide Fort Langley purchases. The flood-plain designations on riverward streets, construction levels, insurance posture, and which addresses carry them. The heritage character expectations in the core, what the community plan protects and what that means for renovation. And on the estate ring, wells and septic, flow rate, water quality, field age. Each has its own report on the shelf below, sourced and dated. School catchments: set by SD35's maps, not by listings, we confirm the current catchment for any address, plainly, and say no more than the map says.
The 2 public schools inside Fort Langley, from the district's own directory, with any programme of choice marked. All of Langley, the Township and the City both, sits in School District 35.
Fort Langley Elementary (K-7) → D.W. Poppy Secondary (23752 52 Avenue, 8-12), not Walnut Grove Secondary, which many people assume. No middle school. Langley Fine Arts School is a K-12 programme of choice, not a catchment school. Source: D.W. Poppy’s principal’s page, which names Fort Langley as one of its four feeders. The district sets every catchment by address, so the SD35 school locator is the ruling on any specific property; we confirm it for any address on request.
The independent schools are listed for the whole municipality rather than for this neighbourhood, because they carry no catchment at all. A family here can apply to any of them, and admission is the school’s own decision rather than a matter of where you live. The public schools above are the ones inside Fort Langley; which one a given address is entitled to attend is set by the district by address, and most Langley neighbourhoods span more than one boundary, so the district’s locator is the authority on any specific property. We confirm the current position for any address on request. This guide does not rate or rank schools; what each Langley school is known for, from International Baccalaureate to French immersion, Fine Arts and trades, is set beside the neighbourhood house figures on the Langley Market Report.
These are district-wide and entry is by application only, in the district’s own words. They are not catchments, so this is not a question of attending the nearest one, and a place in a choice programme sits alongside your catchment school rather than replacing it.
Two things families find out late. French Immersion has two separate doors and they open at different ages: Early Immersion starts at Kindergarten, at Belmont and James Kennedy only, while Late Immersion starts in Grade 6, at Alex Hope and Noel Booth only. You cannot begin at Alex Hope in Kindergarten. And the district is plain that students in a choice programme are not eligible for its bus service, so the seat you win is a drive you make, every morning, for years.
Immersion continues at secondary at Brookswood Secondary School and Walnut Grove Secondary. Which elementary carries on to which secondary is not something the district publishes, so we do not guess at it; it is worth asking them directly if it decides your street.
Parts of it, yes, the village sits on the Fraser, and the riverward streets carry flood-plain designations that shape insurance, construction levels and diligence. It is a manageable, well-understood fact of the village, not a secret; our report walks the exact map and the questions to ask on any specific address.
Scarcity with feeling attached, and it shows up in the index. The board's September 2026 detached benchmark (October 2026 report) for Fort Langley is $2,083,200 against $1,471,100 for Langley as a whole; the apartment benchmark, $755,600, is the highest of any Langley sub-area, a condo in this village costs more than a condo anywhere else in Langley. The river, the ALR and the community plan cap supply, while demand includes everyone in the Lower Mainland who has ever spent a good Saturday here. You're paying for a location that cannot be reproduced, and that scarcity, not a mild year, is what holds: the village composite is $1,657,200, down 5.5% on the year and 5.6% over five years, and still up 56.9% over ten (FVREB MLS® HPI, September 2026).
Both. Bedford Landing is the master-planned riverfront neighbourhood on the old sawmill lands: freehold craftsman homes on the inner streets, strata townhomes and apartments nearer the water and the boardwalk. It holds nearly all of the village's attached inventory, and it is where Fort Langley's apartment benchmark of $755,600 and townhouse benchmark of $911,700 mostly live (Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, October 2026 report, September 2026 data). Each form carries different diligence, and what is on the market today is on the Fort Langley listings page.
: on summer weekends the core is busy, the fort alone draws sixty thousand visitors a year into a village of thirty-eight hundred, and parking near Glover Road is a sport. Residents learn the rhythms and the back ways, and most will tell you the trade is worth it. The same charm that draws the visitors is the reason you're reading this page.

The one who has sold inside the village in the last two years and can explain the difference between the heritage register and a heritage designation before you offer. Seven Fort Langley houses sold from July to September, at 35 days (three monthly medians, weighted by sales) and $665 a square foot; the right person here prices each house on its own story, because in a market of 39 sales in twelve months each one moves the index, and for the estate end has completed sales above $3 million.
There is no single best Realtor in Langley, and no list ranked by volume or paid placement can tell you who is best for Fort Langley. Langley.AI keeps a hand-selected few and applies the same six criteria to every one of them, with Fort Langley’s own figures from The Langley Market Report, October 2026 edition.
Selling Fort Langley property is what they do most weeks, not a corner of a general practice.
Completed sales of the kind of property Fort Langley trades in (village houses, heritage property and the Bedford Landing waterfront), inside the last two years, read off the board’s own system rather than taken on trust. The yardstick: 7 houses sold in Fort Langley from July to September 2026; houses took 35 days at 96.4% of list price (three monthly medians, weighted by sales) on 8.1 months of supply at that pace.
Long enough to have priced Fort Langley through a rising market and this one: the Fort Langley detached benchmark is $2,083,200, unchanged since June and down 4.9% on the year. An agent who has only sold into a rising market has never had to tell a seller the truth about price, and that is the conversation that decides most Fort Langley sales this year.
Reviews from clients who completed, on platforms where the agent cannot buy position. Several of the best-known ranking sites are pay to play; a badge on them measures a marketing budget. We read the reviews, including the ones that are not glowing.

Every specialist has been watched at work before being chosen, and the specialist named is the person who answers the phone, shows the property, negotiates and closes. No hand-off to a team member after the first meeting. Estate property over $3 million here is its own market; from $2 million to under $3 million Langley houses carried 16.5 months of supply from July to September, and a record at that price matters more than anywhere else in the market.
