Ocean Ridge at a Glance
- Address: 14001-14047 Marine Drive, White Rock
- Type: Townhouse
- Year built: 1973
- Total units: 36
- Property size: Approximately 4.5 acres
A Park-Like Setting with a Pond
What sets Ocean Ridge apart from many other White Rock complexes is the land itself. The community sits on roughly 4.5 acres, and that generous footprint shows. Rather than being squeezed onto a tight lot, the 36 units are spread across a park-like property that includes a large, picturesque pond at its centre.
For residents, that translates into a calmer daily experience: mature landscaping, open green space, and a sense of privacy that is difficult to find so close to Marine Drive. It's a setting that appeals to downsizers wanting a quiet retreat, couples looking for a lock-and-leave home, and buyers who want a townhouse feel without giving up the White Rock lifestyle.
Location: Walk to the Beach, Restaurants and Shops
Ocean Ridge's location on Marine Drive is a major part of its appeal. You're within walking distance of White Rock beach and everything that comes with it, including:
- The White Rock Pier and promenade
- Waterfront restaurants, cafes and patios
- Local shops and seasonal events along the beachfront
- Year-round outdoor activities, from beach walks to farmers' market days

Why 1973 Construction Matters for Buyers
Built in 1973, Ocean Ridge is an established community, and that comes with both advantages and things to verify. Older townhouse complexes often offer larger floor plans and more generous lot sizes than newer construction, and the mature trees and landscaping simply can't be replicated in a new build.
As with any complex of this age, smart buyers should review:
- The strata's depreciation report and recent minutes
- The condition of the contingency reserve fund
- Any completed or planned building envelope, roofing or plumbing work
- Monthly strata fees and what they include
- Any special assessments, past or upcoming
A small 36-unit strata can be an advantage here: fewer owners often means simpler decision-making and a closer-knit community, though it also means each owner's share of larger repairs can be meaningful. Your realtor can help you obtain and interpret the full strata document package before you commit.
Who Is Ocean Ridge a Good Fit For?
- Downsizers who want a quiet, low-density community near the beach
- Move-up condo owners looking for a townhouse layout with more living space
- Retirees and semi-retirees who value walkability to shops, dining and the waterfront
- Buyers seeking a peaceful setting without leaving the heart of White Rock
The White Rock Market Context
White Rock is one of the most active markets on the Peninsula, with roughly 330 active listings and an average price near $1.59 million across all property types. Townhouses in established, walkable-to-the-beach complexes like Ocean Ridge give buyers an alternative to the higher price points of detached homes, particularly when compared with nearby areas such as Elgin Chantrell (averaging around $3.1 million) or Crescent Beach & Ocean Park (around $2.4 million).
Because Ocean Ridge is a small complex, listings don't come up often. When a unit does become available, buyers who have done their homework and have financing in place are best positioned to act.
