Blackwood Manor: Your Complete Guide to This White Rock Lowrise
Tucked away on a quiet residential street just minutes from the waterfront, Blackwood Manor at 1442 Blackwood Street is one of White Rock's most established and practical condo buildings. Whether you're a first-time buyer, downsizer, or investor, this lowrise offers a compelling entry point into one of Metro Vancouver's most desirable coastal communities.
Building Overview
Built in 1973, Blackwood Manor is a lowrise condominium with 64 units spread across a manageable, community-focused building. Its age gives it character and generally more generous suite sizes than newer highrise developments — a trade-off many buyers in White Rock actively seek out.
- Address: 1442 Blackwood Street, White Rock, BC
- Year Built: 1973
- Building Type: Lowrise
- Total Units: 64
- Heat & Hot Water: Included in strata fees
- Pet Policy: Small pets permitted
Having heat and hot water included in your monthly strata fees is a genuine financial advantage — especially as utility costs continue to rise across BC. For buyers budgeting carefully, this can meaningfully reduce your total monthly housing costs compared to buildings where utilities are owner-paid.
Location: Steps from White Rock Beach
The location of Blackwood Manor is one of its strongest selling points. Blackwood Street sits within easy walking distance of White Rock Beach, the iconic pier, and the vibrant Marine Drive strip lined with restaurants, cafés, boutiques, and galleries. Whether you want a morning walk along the promenade or dinner with an ocean view, it's all accessible without a car.
White Rock's walkable seaside lifestyle is a major draw for residents relocating from Metro Vancouver. The area offers a slower pace without sacrificing amenities — and Blackwood Manor sits right in the middle of it. Explore the broader White Rock neighbourhood to understand why demand here remains consistently strong.
White Rock's Real Estate Market at a Glance
White Rock currently has 387 active listings with an average price of $1,652,000 — making it one of the highest-average-price markets in the entire region. Much of that average is driven by detached homes and luxury condos with panoramic ocean views. Lowrise buildings like Blackwood Manor, however, can represent more accessible price points for buyers looking to get into this community without stretching to a detached home budget.
Compared to nearby markets — Grandview Surrey, Morgan Creek, and the King George Corridor — White Rock's established waterfront address commands a premium that has historically held its value well. For investors, White Rock's desirability among retirees and vacation-property buyers keeps rental demand steady.
Who Is Blackwood Manor Right For?
Downsizers & Retirees
The lowrise format, manageable building size, and walkable location make Blackwood Manor particularly well-suited for downsizers who want to simplify without leaving White Rock. Small pets are welcome, which matters enormously to many buyers in this life stage.
First-Time Buyers
Entry-level condo buyers looking to purchase in White Rock — rather than further inland — will find that older lowrise buildings often offer better square footage per dollar than newer construction. The included heat and hot water also help keep monthly costs predictable.
Investors
