Location: The Best of White Rock Within Reach
Merklin Street sits in a sweet spot — close enough to the energy of White Rock to enjoy it daily, yet tucked away enough to feel like a genuine neighbourhood rather than a tourist destination. Here's what you're close to:
- Uptown White Rock: Johnston Road's shops, cafes, restaurants, and services are just minutes away — great for everyday errands without the crowds of the waterfront strip.
- White Rock Beach: A short drive or a brisk walk gets you to the promenade, the pier, and the Pacific Ocean. For beach lovers, this location is hard to beat.
- Schools: Families will find several schools nearby, including options within the Surrey School District.
- Transit & Commuting: The King George SkyTrain corridor and bus routes along King George Boulevard make commuting north toward Vancouver or south toward the border manageable.
Why Buy a Townhouse in This Area?
White Rock currently has 336 active listings with an average price of approximately $1,639,000 — making it one of the highest-value markets in the entire region.

Townhouses like those at Hazelmere offer a compelling entry point into this market. You get multi-level living with private outdoor space, no shared hallways, and the feel of a house — at a price point that's typically more accessible than detached homes in the neighbourhood. Add the pet-friendly policy and you've got a property that appeals to a wide range of buyers: young families, downsizers, and investors alike.
Who Is Hazelmere Right For?
Families
The townhouse format is family-friendly by nature — multiple levels, private outdoor space, and no elevator waiting. Pets are welcome, which matters enormously for households with dogs or cats.
Downsizers
Many buyers transitioning out of larger detached homes in communities like Morgan Creek or Elgin Chantrell look for townhomes that offer maintenance-light living without sacrificing space or neighbourhood quality. Hazelmere delivers on both counts.
Investors
Pet-friendly, well-located townhomes in White Rock hold their value and rent well. If you're building a real estate portfolio in South Surrey, this type of asset — established, low-rise, near amenities — is exactly the kind of property that performs steadily over time.
