Ocean Park Grove: A Quiet Adult-Only Townhouse Community in Crescent Beach / Ocean Park
If you've been searching for a low-maintenance, single-level home in a peaceful setting close to the beach, Ocean Park Grove at 12901 - 12981 17th Avenue deserves a spot on your shortlist.

What Makes Ocean Park Grove Stand Out
Rancher-Style, Single-Level Living
The biggest draw here is the layout. These rancher-style townhomes keep everything on one level, which is ideal for buyers who want to avoid stairs now or plan ahead for the future. Homes feature large entryways and very functional floor plans, so the space works well whether you're hosting family or enjoying a quiet evening in.
Thoughtful Interior Finishes
Inside, you'll typically find features that add comfort and convenience:
- Gas fireplaces for cozy evenings
- Plenty of windows for natural light
- Built-in vacuum systems
- Large, functional entryways
Private Garden Yards for Entertaining
Unlike many strata homes that offer only a small balcony, Ocean Park Grove homes come with generous garden yards. They're a great fit for gardeners, pet owners (check current strata bylaws), or anyone who enjoys hosting friends and family outdoors.
A Cul-de-Sac Setting
The community is tucked into a cul-de-sac, which means low traffic and a calm, private atmosphere. It's one of the reasons Ocean Park Grove remains a popular retirement complex in the area.
Location: Everything Ocean Park Has to Offer
Ocean Park is one of the most walkable pockets of South Surrey. From your doorstep, a short stroll puts you close to:
- Shopping and everyday essentials
- Essential services such as pharmacies and medical offices
- Local restaurants and cafes
- Public transit
- The beach
For many owners, that combination is the real prize: a quiet home on a cul-de-sac with the amenities of a village-style neighbourhood nearby. Explore the surrounding neighbourhood on our Crescent Beach / Ocean Park area guide or see where Ocean Park Grove sits on the interactive map.
How Ocean Park Grove Fits the Local Market
Crescent Bch Ocean Pk. currently has 121 active listings with an average price of roughly $2.46 million, reflecting the area's premium coastal appeal and the prevalence of detached homes. Townhomes like those at Ocean Park Grove offer a more accessible entry point into this sought-after pocket of South Surrey, with the added benefit of lower maintenance and a strata-managed lifestyle.
For comparison, nearby White Rock averages about $1.58 million across 331 active listings, while Morgan Creek averages about $1.99 million. Buyers who love the Ocean Park setting but want a more right-sized home often find that a rancher-style townhouse hits the sweet spot.
Who Is Ocean Park Grove Best For?
- Retirees and empty nesters: One-level living in an adult-only community.
- Downsizers: Trade a large detached home for a manageable townhome without losing garden space.
- Beach lovers: Walkable access to Ocean Park and the waterfront.
- Buyers seeking quiet: Cul-de-sac location with minimal through traffic.
Tips Before You Buy
- Review the strata documents: Since the complex was built in 1987, ask about recent and planned building envelope, roofing, and other major maintenance, along with the contingency fund status.
- Confirm the age restriction: Make sure you understand the adult-only bylaw and how it applies to your household.
- Ask about pets and rentals: Bylaws vary, so verify current rules before making an offer.
- Check yard and exterior responsibilities: Clarify what the strata handles versus the owner.
