Discover The Cedars: A Classic White Rock Condo Building at 1319 Martin Street
Tucked into one of White Rock's most desirable residential pockets, The Cedars is a well-loved lowrise condominium building that has stood the test of time since 1974. Named after the majestic cedar trees lining its property at 1319 Martin Street, this intimate 30-unit complex offers a rare combination of character, space, and location that's increasingly hard to find in today's market.
With White Rock averaging $1,581,000 across 373 active listings — the highest average price in the South Surrey and White Rock region — the Cedars represents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking meaningful square footage and quality in an adult-oriented setting.
Why The Cedars Stands Out in White Rock
Generous Unit Sizes and Outdoor Space
In a condo market increasingly defined by compact layouts, The Cedars is a breath of fresh air. Units range from approximately 800 to nearly 2,000 square feet, with some suites featuring extraordinary 1,200 square foot decks — an outdoor space that rivals the footprint of many downtown apartments. The open floor plans are flooded with natural light, making the already-spacious interiors feel even more expansive.
Many units have been thoughtfully updated with new bathroom cabinetry, modern lighting, updated appliances, and refreshed doors — all while retaining the character and craftsmanship that define 1970s West Coast construction.
Ocean Views Within Reach
Select units at The Cedars enjoy partial ocean views, and even those without a direct sightline are just a short stroll from White Rock Beach — one of the most iconic waterfronts in the Lower Mainland. Whether you're walking the promenade, dining on the pier, or watching the sunset over Semiahmoo Bay, beach life is genuinely accessible here.
A Quiet, Established Setting
The cedar trees that gave this building its name do more than just provide identity — they create a natural buffer that makes The Cedars feel remarkably peaceful. Despite being just blocks from Semiahmoo Shopping Centre, transit routes, and all of White Rock's amenities, life inside this complex is calm and residential.

Who Is The Cedars Best Suited For?
The Cedars is an adult-only complex with no rental allowances, which means the community is quiet, stable, and owner-occupied. This makes it an excellent fit for retirees or downsizers who want the ease of condo living without sacrificing space or quality of life. If you've been searching for a White Rock condo that feels like a true home rather than a pied-à-terre, The Cedars deserves serious consideration.
For buyers exploring the broader White Rock area, it's worth noting that well-maintained buildings of this era with large suites and established strata histories are becoming increasingly rare. The combination of unit size, outdoor living space, and proximity to the beach makes The Cedars a genuinely distinctive listing whenever units come available.
