Gardens at Semiahmoo: A Complete Building Guide for Elgin Chantrell Townhouses
If you're searching for a spacious, private townhouse community in South Surrey, Gardens at Semiahmoo deserves a close look. Nestled at 15099 28 Avenue in the sought-after Elgin Chantrell neighbourhood, this gated complex of 32 townhouses offers a rare combination of natural surroundings, generous square footage, and everyday convenience — all in one of South Surrey's most established communities.
About the Development
Built in 1995, Gardens at Semiahmoo is a well-maintained strata community featuring one and two-storey townhouses ranging from approximately 1,500 to 2,000 square feet. With only 32 units, the complex maintains a tight-knit, quiet atmosphere that larger developments simply can't replicate. These are not cookie-cutter condos — they're thoughtfully designed homes that feel expansive and private from the moment you walk in.
Interior Features Worth Knowing
What sets Gardens at Semiahmoo apart from typical townhouse strata buildings is the quality of its interior appointments and the sense of space throughout each home. Key features include:
- Gas fireplaces for cozy year-round comfort
- Radiant in-floor heating — a premium feature rarely found at this price point
- High ceilings and large windows that flood the interiors with natural light
- Large lofts with generous built-in storage areas
- Built-in central vacuum systems
- Single and double garages depending on the unit
- Private rear patios — ideal for entertaining or simply relaxing in seclusion
The homes are tucked into woodlands, green spaces, and creeks, creating a setting that feels far removed from urban bustle while remaining highly accessible. That balance of tranquility and connectivity is a defining characteristic of Elgin Chantrell as a whole.
