Homes: Cloverdale neighbourhood (Surrey)

Surrey's oldest village, Cloverdale is a middle-income community with an attractive, shop-filled main street. It is home to the Cloverdale Fairgrounds which hosts the Cloverdale Rodeo, Canada’s second biggest rodeo. The neighbourhood borders on agricultural flatlands and numerous ranches. If you are not working close by, expect significant commuting along the busy Highway 10 (56 Avenue). Commuting into Vancouver is north via Highway 1A (Fraser highway) or King George highway (136 Street) to Highway 1, or west via Highway 10 to Highway 99. From the King George SkyTrain Station, it is a 35 minute ride into downtown Vancouver. The community is about 40 minutes (non-peak) from Vancouver International Airport.
