You can view the full building profile, floor plan details, and current availability on the Old School building page.
The Story Behind the Name
The name says it all. Old School was developed on the site of the old Sunnyside Elementary, and the redevelopment turned a neighbourhood landmark into a modern townhome community. When the project was in its building phase, the homes were slated to hit the market in 2017, and the community has since become an established part of the Grandview landscape.
Building Snapshot
- Address: 15268 28 Avenue, Surrey
- Neighbourhood: Grandview Surrey
- Year built: 2017
- Total units: 94
- Type: Townhouse
With 94 homes, Old School is a larger townhome community by South Surrey standards, which often means a stronger sense of community and a more active resale market than boutique projects with only a handful of units.
Interior Features Buyers Notice
The homes at Old School were designed with contemporary living in mind. Highlights include:
- 9-foot ceilings on the main floor that make the living space feel open and bright, a feature that's not always standard in townhome builds.
- Hardwood laminate flooring throughout, which is durable, easy to maintain, and well suited for families and pet owners.
- Quartz kitchen countertops paired with undermount stainless steel double-bowl sinks and chrome faucets.
- Stainless steel appliances included in the kitchen.
These finishes were upper-tier for 2017 construction and remain current today, so buyers aren't facing an immediate kitchen renovation.
Location: Steps From the Essentials
One of Old School's biggest selling points is where it sits. The townhomes are only steps away from daily essentials, with a handful of restaurants nearby, making it easy to grab dinner or run errands without getting in the car. The location is also extremely close to major transit and commuter routes in the Lower Mainland, a major advantage if you commute toward Surrey City Centre, Langley, or Vancouver.
Grandview Surrey is also known for its access to parks, schools, and recreation, which is why it consistently draws young families and move-up buyers from condos. For a broader view of the neighbourhood, explore our Grandview Surrey area guide.

Tips for Buying at Old School
- Review strata documents carefully. With 94 units, the strata's financial health, contingency fund, and upcoming expenses matter. Ask your realtor to pull the latest minutes and depreciation report.
- Compare unit layouts. Townhome floor plans within the same complex can vary in orientation, parking arrangement, and outdoor space.
- Check recent sales. Looking at comparable sales within the building helps you price your offer accurately.
