South Surrey is one of Metro Vancouver's most affluent communities — upscale shopping, premium real estate, and a demographic that demands sophisticated banking services.
South Surrey spans from 32nd Avenue south to the US border, and from 152nd Street west to the ocean. Morgan Crossing, Grandview Corners, and Semiahmoo Town Centre are the main commercial nodes.
