Contessa at 15050 Prospect Avenue — One of White Rock's Finest Buildings
If you're searching for a truly exceptional condominium in White Rock, Contessa at 15050 Prospect Avenue belongs at the top of your list. This intimate, self-managed lowrise is widely regarded as one of the most prestigious addresses in the entire South Surrey and White Rock area — and for good reason.
Building Overview
Built in 1992, Contessa is an exclusive 8-unit lowrise strata that prioritizes quality over quantity. With just eight residences, owners benefit from a close-knit community, attentive self-management, and a building atmosphere that feels more like a private residence than a typical condo complex. You won't find this kind of boutique exclusivity in most condo buildings across White Rock.
- Address: 15050 Prospect Avenue, White Rock, BC
- Year Built: 1992
- Building Type: Lowrise
- Total Units: 8
- Unit Sizes: Approximately 1,800 to 2,300 square feet
- Management: Self-managed strata

The Units: Spacious, Luxurious, and Unforgettable Views
What sets Contessa apart is the sheer scale and quality of its suites. At 1,800 to 2,300 square feet, these are not typical condos — they offer the living space of a detached home combined with the low-maintenance lifestyle of strata living. Each unit features sweeping 190-degree panoramic ocean views that stretch across Semiahmoo Bay, the Gulf Islands, and beyond. On a clear day, the views extend all the way to the San Juan Islands and Mount Baker.
The living space flows seamlessly to large, private view decks — a rare luxury that dramatically extends your usable square footage and makes every morning feel like a retreat. These decks aren't afterthoughts; they are genuine outdoor living rooms designed to take full advantage of one of the most spectacular vantage points in White Rock.
Why Contessa Is So Sought After
White Rock's real estate market currently averages around $1,609,000, making it the most expensive market among all tracked communities in the region — including Willoughby Heights, Coquitlam West, and Downtown Vancouver. Within that premium market, Contessa consistently stands out as a best-in-class offering. Here's why buyers and long-term owners prize it so highly:
- Exclusivity: With only 8 units, Contessa rarely comes to market. When a suite does become available, demand is immediate.
- Self-managed strata: Owners have direct input into how the building is maintained, keeping costs efficient and standards high.
- No rentals: The no-rental policy ensures a stable, owner-occupier community — protecting both the building culture and long-term resale values.
- Size: Finding 1,800+ sq ft condos with panoramic ocean views in White Rock is extremely rare. Contessa delivers this consistently across all units.
- Location: Prospect Avenue sits in one of White Rock's most desirable elevated positions, offering quick access to the beach promenade, White Rock's dining scene, and everyday amenities along Johnston Road.
