Ocean Park Courtyards: A Village-Style Townhouse Community in Crescent Beach / Ocean Park
Tucked into a park-like setting of tall, mature cedars at 12741 - 12757 16 Avenue, Ocean Park Courtyards is one of the more characterful townhouse complexes in the Ocean Park corner of South Surrey. Built in 1981, this 32-unit community offers a low-density, village-lifestyle alternative to larger apartment towers and detached homes in the neighbourhood.

What Makes Ocean Park Courtyards Stand Out
The homes here are designed around light and livability. Owners and buyers consistently point to a handful of features that set the complex apart:
- Open-plan living areas with generous window placement and skylights that flood the main floors with natural light
- Gas fireplaces for cozy evenings through the Pacific Northwest's wetter months
- Heated floors — a comfort upgrade rarely found in townhomes of this era
- Crown moldings and generously sized rooms that give the interiors a finished, traditional feel
- Private balcony and patio space, with ocean views available from select homes
The mature cedars surrounding the complex add privacy and a quiet, wooded atmosphere that is increasingly hard to find in newer strata developments.
Location: Steps From the Heart of Ocean Park
One of the biggest draws is walkability. From 16 Avenue, you are only a few steps from the Ocean Park village core, where you will find shopping, everyday services, restaurants, and transit. The beach is also close by, making it easy to build a daily routine around ocean walks and sunsets.
Ocean Park sits within the broader Crescent Beach / Ocean Park area, which remains one of the most sought-after coastal pockets in South Surrey. At the moment, the area has 121 active listings with an average price of approximately $2.46 million, reflecting the premium buyers place on proximity to the water and the village lifestyle.
How Townhouse Pricing Compares
With the area average sitting well above $2 million, townhomes like those at Ocean Park Courtyards represent a more accessible entry point into this coveted neighbourhood. Compared with other South Surrey and White Rock markets, the context looks like this:
- White Rock: 331 active listings, average around $1.58 million
- Morgan Creek: 88 active listings, average around $1.99 million
- Pacific Douglas: 77 active listings, average around $1.84 million
- Elgin Chantrell: 108 active listings, average around $3.18 million
Buyers who want Ocean Park's character, ocean proximity and walkable amenities without the price tag of a single-family home often find that a well-kept townhouse delivers the best balance.
Who Is Ocean Park Courtyards a Good Fit For?
Downsizers
Move-in-ready townhomes with main living areas, gas fireplaces and private outdoor space are ideal for homeowners who want less maintenance but still want room to entertain and host family.
First-Time Buyers Stretching Into Ocean Park
For buyers who have their heart set on Ocean Park but cannot reach detached-home pricing, a townhouse at a 32-unit complex offers strata convenience in a neighbourhood that usually demands a premium.
Lifestyle Buyers and Remote Workers
The combination of village walkability, beach access and quiet, tree-lined surroundings suits buyers who work from home and value being able to step out for coffee, groceries, or a walk on the waterfront.
What to Check Before You Buy
Because the complex was built in 1981, a thorough review of strata documents is essential. Ask your REALTOR® to help you review:
- Recent and upcoming depreciation report items (roofing, siding, windows, drainage)
- Contingency reserve fund health and any special assessments
- Strata bylaws regarding rentals, pets and exterior modifications
- Maintenance history of heated floor systems and gas fireplaces
Well-managed older complexes can be excellent long-term holds, but the paperwork matters just as much as the finishes.
