Newton sits right in the geographic centre of Surrey, and Town Centre anchors it at 72 Avenue & King George Boulevard. That corner has been the hub since the old Newton Station days back in 1910. It’s the most lived-in part of the city, and it’s one of our regular runs. We’re out here most weeks, so we already know which lanes off King George back up and which strata driveways a 26-foot truck can actually fit down.
It’s a patchwork, not one tidy neighbourhood. West Newton and East Newton are full of older detached homes, lots of them with basement suites. Strawberry Hill sits up in the northeast near 72 Ave & 152 St, by Strawberry Hill Plaza. Scottsdale and Annieville run along the northwest edge by Scott Road. Sullivan Station tucks in to the south, transitioning toward Sullivan Heights. Each pocket moves a little differently.
The big thing about Newton is there’s no SkyTrain in it. King George Boulevard is the main north-south commercial spine, 72 Avenue is the central east-west route, and Scott Road runs the west edge. The R1 RapidBus on King George and the R6 on Scott Road carry the load, feeding the SkyTrain stations outside the area. That means moving traffic concentrates on a few busy arterials, and loading often happens curbside on a narrow shoulder.
Newton’s also changing fast. The Newton Centre plan puts 2,200-plus new homes on 41 acres of public land along King George near 72 Ave, just north of Newton Pond Park, with a new community centre and 15.7 acres of park. Phases one and two start in 2026. The Newton Town Centre Plan, approved back in 2020, guides 30 years of density up to six storeys around the core. We track that build so we can route around the closures.
Bottom line, we don’t treat Newton like a dot on a map. We know West Newton’s basement-suite stairs, the 1990s townhouse complexes off 64 Avenue, and the apartment stock going up near the core. We’re based at 164 Street, a short hop east, so a Newton job is close work for our crews. That keeps drive time short and your bill honest.
Most of the older detached homes in West and East Newton were built between the 1960s and the 1990s, three or four beds on 5,500 to 8,500 square foot lots. A huge share of them carry a basement suite as a mortgage-helper. That turns a lot of moves into two-household jobs, and basement suites mean tight, steep stairs with a turn at the bottom. We plan the heavy pieces around that landing before we ever lift. Sofas, mattresses, and appliances all get measured against that stairwell first, and our heavy and oversized item crew handles the awkward carries.
The townhouse side is its own puzzle. Newton’s 1990s and 2000s strata complexes off 64 Avenue and through Strawberry Hill run 1,150 to 1,350 square foot three-bed units, with narrow internal driveways and tight visitor parking. Most stratas want a move-in window booked and the loading area cleared ahead of time, so we sort that with your property manager early. For the new apartment stock near Town Centre, our condo and apartment movers book the elevator and pad it before the truck even rolls in.
Then there’s the arterial reality. With no SkyTrain, everything funnels onto King George Boulevard, 72 Avenue, and Scott Road, and those back up. Active construction around Newton Centre near 72 Ave adds detours that change month to month. We scout the curb and the loading approach ahead of time so the truck isn’t blocking a bus lane on the R1 corridor. Need a hand boxing it all first? Our packing team can take that off your plate the day before.
West and East Newton are full of 1960s-to-1990s detached homes, and many run a basement suite below. That’s the core of what we move here. Two households under one roof, tight basement stairs with a turn, and a main floor with its own load. We split the job cleanly, protect the stairwell, and carry the heavy pieces down in the right order so nothing scrapes the wall or jams on the landing. Lots of these sit on quiet streets off 64 Avenue, so curb access is usually fine.
Newton’s 1990s and 2000s townhouse complexes off 64 Avenue and through Strawberry Hill pack three-bed units onto narrow internal driveways with limited visitor parking. We book your strata move-in window, confirm where the truck can sit, and stage the carry so we’re not blocking a neighbour. We pad shared entryways and tight corners. If a unit has a loading-bay or gate code, we sort it with the property manager before the day so there’s no waiting around on the clock.
The growing condo stock near 72 Avenue & King George Boulevard means elevator bookings, padded cab walls, and a loading zone that’s often shared with construction traffic from the Newton Centre build. We reserve the elevator with your building, time the load around the busy R1 King George corridor, and keep the lobby clear. With curbside loading on a tight arterial shoulder, we move quick and keep the truck out of the bus lane so the move stays smooth.

We price every Newton move on time, billed on the actual hours the job takes, broken down for you up front. No padded estimate, and we never quote a flat rate. What drives the hours here is real and local. Basement-suite stairs in West and East Newton add carry time. A strata complex off 64 Avenue with a tight driveway and a booked elevator adds setup. Construction detours around Newton Centre can add a few minutes on the road. We walk you through all of it before we start.
Being based at 164 Street helps you. Newton’s a short drive west of our yard, so drive time stays low and you’re not paying for a crew crawling across the region. We’ll tell you what crew size fits your home, how the stairs or elevator change the plan, and roughly how the hours stack up. Then we bill what the move actually takes. Honest hours, explained before we lift a box.

Real five-star reviews from our Surrey customers, straight from Google.
Yes, Newton’s one of our regular runs. We’re out here most weeks, from West and East Newton to Strawberry Hill, Scottsdale along Scott Road, and the Town Centre area at 72 Avenue & King George Boulevard. We’re based just east at 164 Street, so a Newton job is close work for our crews and the drive time stays short.
All the time. So many West and East Newton homes from the 1960s to 1990s carry a basement suite, and we know those tight, turning stairs well. We measure the heavy pieces against the stairwell first, protect the walls and the landing, and carry things down in the right order so nothing jams. Two households in one house is normal work for us here.
Newton has no SkyTrain, so traffic funnels onto King George Boulevard, 72 Avenue, and Scott Road, and those back up. We scout the curb and loading approach ahead of time, time the load around the busy R1 King George corridor, and keep the truck out of the bus lane. Planning the access first is how we keep your move quick.
Not if we plan for it. The Newton Centre build covers 41 acres on King George near 72 Ave, with phases one and two starting in 2026, so detours around there change month to month. We track the closures and route around them. We scout the approach before the day so the truck has a clear path to your door.
Yes. Strawberry Hill sits up near 72 Ave & 152 St, and its 1990s and 2000s townhouse complexes have narrow internal driveways and limited visitor parking. We book your strata move-in window, confirm where the truck can sit, and pad the shared entries. We sort gate codes and loading rules with your property manager before the day so there’s no waiting on the clock.
We do. The growing condo stock near 72 Avenue & King George Boulevard needs an elevator reserved and the cab padded before we load. We confirm your building’s move-in window, keep the lobby clear, and work the loading zone even when it’s shared with construction traffic. You don’t have to chase the building rules, we handle that part.
On time, billed for the actual hours the job takes, broken down up front. No flat rate and no padded estimate. The hours come from real things like basement-suite stairs, a strata elevator booking, or a tight driveway off 64 Avenue. Being based at 164 Street keeps your drive time low. We explain the whole breakdown before we lift a box.
Yes. Scottsdale and Annieville run along Newton’s northwest edge by Scott Road, served by the R6 RapidBus and the Scottsdale Exchange. We know the arterial loading reality over there, where traffic concentrates because there’s no SkyTrain. We plan curbside loading so the truck isn’t blocking the flow on Scott Road or 120 Street.
Sure. Our packing team can box your place the day before so move day runs faster, which matters when a basement suite or a strata move adds carry time. Fewer loose items means fewer trips up and down those Newton stairs. We can pack the whole home or just the kitchen and the fragile pieces, whatever you need.
Yes, we do single heavy pieces too. Sullivan Station sits south of Newton, transitioning toward Sullivan Heights, with townhomes that have tight stairs and narrow drives. Whether it’s a sofa, a fridge, or a treadmill, we measure the path, pad the corners, and carry it in clean. You’re billed for the hours it takes, nothing padded.
