A hilltop village founded in 1870, a heritage crossroads the film crews keep borrowing, and the hospital up the road. Murrayville doesn't perform for anyone, it's the neighbourhood people move to after they've figured out what matters, and it's a village where houses, townhomes and apartments all sit on the same hill, each with its own board benchmark.
Benchmark prices are Fraser Valley Real Estate Board MLS® Home Price Index figures for the Murrayville sub-area, September 2026 data, October 2026 report. Sales, days on market and sale-to-list figures are Langley-wide, from the board's September 2026 package and its MLS database, 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 Murrayville figures on this page come from a separate pull of the board’s database and are labelled as such. Listing counts and asking prices are not ours: they come from the live MLS® feed on the Murrayville listings page and change through the day. Population, hospital, heritage, transport and school-catchment details are from Township of Langley, Fraser Health and School District 35 sources. Refreshed with each monthly market report.
Murrayville sits on its hill above Langley City like it's been watching the fashions come and go since 1870, which it has. The core is Five Corners: the 1928 community hall, Porter's coffee house in a heritage storefront, the old church, and streets off Old Yale Road where six pre-1930 houses still stand and the trees have seniority. Film crews use it as a stand-in for small-town anywhere. Residents just call it the corner.
The practical life is unusually complete for a village this size. Langley Memorial Hospital has anchored the neighbourhood since 1948, a full regional ER inside your own postal code, which quietly explains the healthcare workers on every second street. W.C. Blair's wave pool handles the winter, McLeod Athletic Park is the Township's flagship track, the arboretum walk runs along Fraser Highway, and BC's oldest concrete road, an original stretch of Old Yale, still carries you home. Everything a family checks is inside ten minutes, and most of it is inside a walk.
Who thrives here: people who want established over exciting, long-tenured families, hospital staff who walk to shift, downsizers who want heritage-village feel with full services. Who shouldn't buy here: anyone chasing the newest thing, because Murrayville built its newest thing in about 1995 and feels no urgency about the matter.
Murrayville carries a full ladder. In September 2026 the detached benchmark was $1,423,500, the townhouse benchmark $851,800 and the apartment benchmark $513,800 (Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, October 2026 report, September 2026 data). Three rungs, one hilltop, from just over half a million to about a million and a half. The year hasn't been uniform. Detached across Langley is down 6.7 per cent over twelve months and Murrayville’s apartment benchmark is down 7.3 (Langley-wide 9.2); its townhouse benchmark is down 4.4, the same as Langley’s, and at $851,800 it sits above the Langley-wide townhouse benchmark of $802,600. Over ten years the apartment benchmark is up 98.4 per cent (FVREB MLS® HPI, September 2026). Langley-wide from July to September, townhouses sold in 19 days at 98.2 percent of list (three monthly medians, weighted by sales) and detached houses in 22 days at 96.8 per cent; 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 Murrayville figures on this page come from a separate pull of the board’s database and are labelled as such. What holds value on the hilltop: the heritage streets can't be reproduced, the hospital isn't moving, the farmland to the east and south hard-stops the sprawl, and the housing stock, mostly seventies through nineties on generous lots, sits in the sweet spot of solid-but-improvable. For what is on the market today, and at what price, the live MLS® feed on the Murrayville listings page is the honest answer.
The September 2026 detached benchmark for Murrayville is $1,423,500, down 1.0% on the month, up 1.5% since June and down 5.4% on the year. Our September edition carried no Murrayville house benchmark for August because the board’s database returned none when it was read; the board’s September index detail now prints the one-month change. It is a neighbourhood index resting on few sales, so read it as a guide. The thirteen houses that sold from July to September went at $1,611,000 (three monthly medians, weighted by sales), above the Langley-wide detached benchmark of $1,471,100; the hilltop's houses are mostly seventies-through-nineties stock on generous lots, priced accordingly.
Down 4.4% year over year, the steadiest line on the hilltop, and above the Langley-wide townhouse benchmark of $802,600 (Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, October 2026 report, September 2026 data).
Down 7.3% year over year, but up 98.4% over ten years, the longest run of any rung on the hilltop (FVREB MLS® HPI, September 2026).
Langley-wide from July to September 2026, detached homes sold in 22 days at 96.8% of list (three monthly medians, weighted by sales), townhouses in 19 days at 98.2%, apartments in 27 days at 97.1%. 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 Murrayville figures on this page come from a separate pull of the board’s database and are labelled as such.
The house benchmark is $1,423,500, down 1.0% on the month and up 1.5% since June (down 5.4% on September 2025). In the board’s database 5 Murrayville houses sold in September (4 in August) and 16 came to market (7 in August); 28 were active at the end of the month (22 at the end of August). From July to September 13 sold, against 16 from April to June: 6.5 months of supply at that pace, 20 days on market and 96.9% of list price (three monthly medians, weighted by sales). The townhouse benchmark is $851,800 (down 0.3% on the month, down 0.5% since June): 12 sold from July to September (17 from April to June), 23 active at the end of September, 5.8 months of supply. The apartment benchmark is $513,800 (down 0.6% on the month, down 2.0% since June): 8 sold from July to September (6 from April to June), 12 active at the end of September, 4.5 months of supply.
September’s 5 house sales compare with 4 in August, and the number active went from 22 to 28. Over three months 13 sold against 16 in the three months before, and the benchmark moved +1.5%; across Langley the same figures are 212 against 254 and −1.6%. At the three-month pace Murrayville carries 6.5 months of house supply, against 6.2 for Langley as a whole on the same arithmetic. Townhomes: 12 sold in the three months, 5.8 months of supply, 9 days (three monthly medians, weighted by sales). 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 good walks start, where the town gathers, and where the roads lead.
McLeod Athletic Park is the Township's flagship track-and-field ground; W.C. Blair carries the wave pool, six lanes of it, plus the hot tub and sauna for the grey months. The Derek Doubleday Arboretum gives Fraser Highway its walking loop, Old Yale Park adds trails, the off-leash run and the community garden, and the 1890s Murrayville Cemetery quietly holds the founding names. The signature stroll is simply Old Yale Road itself, heritage houses, big trees, and the province's oldest concrete road under your feet.
Five Corners, where 216th meets 48th and Old Yale, is the genuine article: the 1928 Community Hall, Porter's Coffee & Tea House, Sharon United's steeple, and storefronts the film industry keeps renting because you can't fake this. Murrayville Square at 222nd handles groceries, pharmacy and medical, and Langley Memorial Hospital anchors the neighbourhood's north, a full regional ER inside the village.
Fraser Highway bisects the village, west to Langley City and the future SkyTrain terminus (late 2029, about five minutes away), east to Aldergrove. Highway 1 via 216th is roughly six minutes; Highway 10 runs the back door to Surrey and Delta. TransLink's 560 loop links Five Corners and the hospital to Langley Centre, where the Fraser Highway express network takes over.
Murrayville diligence is mostly vintage diligence: seventies-through-nineties housing stock means we check roofs, plumbing eras and furnace vintage as a matter of course. On the heritage-adjacent streets, we confirm any character retention expectations before you plan a renovation. And on the village's edges, where farmland begins mid-block, we verify the ALR boundary, it's the line that guarantees your outlook and limits your expansion, and it pays to know which side of it every fence sits on. 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 3 public schools inside Murrayville, 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.
James Hill (K-5) → H.D. Stafford Middle (6-8) → Langley Secondary (9-12, 21405 56 Avenue, on Murrayville’s western edge). Rural eastern Murrayville may instead fall to Peterson Road (K-7) → D.W. Poppy; the line is set by address. Langley Fundamental Elementary and Middle & Secondary are programmes of choice, entered by application. Source: the district’s H.D. Stafford feeder list. 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 Murrayville; 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.
Langley is not one market. The detached benchmark moved by 4.4% in one sub-area this year and 12.5% in another, so the municipal figure is the wrong yardstick for any single street. These are the guides that sit closest to this one.
Because it's finished, in the best sense: heritage core, hospital, rec centre, track, groceries, the whole checklist inside the village, wrapped in streets that have looked good for a century. Murrayville trades excitement for permanence, and its buyers consider that the win.
Overwhelmingly a plus. A full regional ER inside your postal code, hundreds of stable healthcare jobs walking distance from home, and, buyers always ask, the sirens are a non-issue on all but the closest blocks. It's a quiet part of why people who move to the hilltop tend to stay.
Predominantly seventies-through-nineties detached on generous lots, with heritage houses around Five Corners and newer townhome and condo enclaves near Fraser Highway and 222nd. Solid bones, improvable interiors, the renovator's favourite starting point.
The 2029 terminus lands at Langley City Centre, about five minutes down the hill. Murrayville gets the access without the construction, the towers, or the rezoning pressure, arguably the best seat in the house.
It is, and not evenly. In September 2026 the Murrayville detached benchmark was $1,423,500, down 5.4 per cent on the year; townhouses were $851,800, down 4.4 per cent; apartments $513,800, down 7.3 per cent (Fraser Valley Real Estate Board, October 2026 report, September 2026 data). Langley-wide, townhouses sold in 19 days at 98.2 percent of list (three monthly medians, weighted by sales) and detached houses in 22 days at 96.8 per cent, 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 Murrayville figures on this page come from a separate pull of the board’s database and are labelled as such. Read together: on the year the townhouse benchmark eased less than the detached (4.4% against 5.4%) and the apartment benchmark eased more (7.3%).

The one who has sold both the hilltop houses and the townhome complexes, because in Murrayville the two markets share a street. The Murrayville house benchmark ($1,423,500 in September) rests on few sales, thirteen from July to September, so the right person here prices houses on recent sales as well as the index, and knows why Murrayville townhomes carry the highest benchmark of Langley’s urban neighbourhoods at $851,800 (only the acreage corridors of Salmon River and the village of Fort Langley index higher).
There is no single best Realtor in Langley, and no list ranked by volume or paid placement can tell you who is best for Murrayville. Langley.AI keeps a hand-selected few and applies the same six criteria to every one of them, with Murrayville’s own figures from The Langley Market Report, October 2026 edition.
Selling Murrayville property is what they do most weeks, not a corner of a general practice.
Completed sales of the kind of property Murrayville trades in (the hilltop houses and the townhome complexes), inside the last two years, read off the board’s own system rather than taken on trust. The yardstick: 13 houses and 12 townhomes sold in Murrayville from July to September 2026; houses took 20 days at 96.9% of list price (three monthly medians, weighted by sales) on 6.5 months of supply at that pace, townhomes 9 days on 5.8 months.
Long enough to have priced Murrayville through a rising market and this one: the Murrayville detached benchmark is $1,423,500, up 1.5% since June and down 5.4% on the year, the townhome $851,800, down 0.5% since June, the condo $513,800, down 2.0% since June. 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 Murrayville sales this year.
