White Rock packs 21,939 people onto just 5.17 square kilometres, and Surrey wraps around it on three sides. Bergstrom Road (136 Street) marks the west edge, North Bluff Road (16 Avenue) the north, and Stayte Road (160 Street) the east, with Semiahmoo Bay at the bottom of the hill. Cross any of those streets and you’re back in Surrey, our home turf.
The town climbs a steep hillside from the water. Building hugged the beach until the 1960s, then crept up the slope, so the older stock is small cliffside homes and character cottages. Down at the water, the 486-ton white boulder and the 470-metre pier, first opened in 1914 and rebuilt after the December 2018 windstorm, anchor a 2.19-kilometre promenade. A BNSF rail line runs right along that beach. Lovely to walk, tricky to park a 26-foot truck beside.
Uptown is the other White Rock. Johnston Road is the main corridor and the city’s Gateway streetscape, with Marine Drive as the dining strip at the water. The condo pockets run from Uptown, roughly $500K to $1.2M and walkable to everything, out to the quieter East Beach streets and the West Beach waterfront. Medium-rise buildings keep growing more common along Johnston Road.
White Rock also has a long reputation as a retirement centre, so downsizing runs are a big share of our local moving work here: out of a hillside house and into a Johnston Road condo, with decades of belongings sorted along the way.
Start with parking, because in White Rock it decides the whole day. Much of the city is Permit Parking Only, block by block. A resident permit is valid only on the block printed on it and the next adjacent block, it has to hang from the rear-view mirror, and an unpermitted vehicle gets ticketed or possibly towed at the owner’s expense. In 2026 the City charges $16.00 each for the first two permits and $35.00 each for the third and fourth, plus GST, four per dwelling at most. There’s also a 72-hour rule against sitting on City property for 72 straight hours, and the City itself says it doesn’t guarantee a space will be open. So we lock in the truck spot before move day, not on the morning.
Then there’s the hill. Beachside homes come with steep driveways, narrow streets and limited parking, and the grades near the promenade are real. Hillside view streets like Thrift Avenue and Buena Vista hold elevated homes with bay views, a five-minute walk above East Beach. Carrying a sofa or an appliance down that slope takes planning, so our heavy and oversized item crew measures the path and stages the carry before anything lifts.
Uptown is changing fast too. The Nautilus project at 1454 Oxford Street, between Thrift Avenue and North Bluff Road, was approved in July 2021: two towers of 21 and 24 storeys with 121 condos on a 2.7-acre site just outside the town centre core. The wider plan still caps town centre heights at 12 storeys, after council downzoned two approved 12-storey towers at 1350 Johnston Road to six. The medium-rise buildings already standing want booked elevators and move-in windows, so our condo and apartment movers handle the booking, pad the cab and keep the lobby clear. Want the boxes done before all that? Our packing team can wrap the whole place the day before.
The hillside holds everything from original cottages to big rebuilt homes on view streets like Thrift Avenue and Buena Vista. Steep driveways, narrow streets and permit-only curbs mean we walk the property first, pick where the truck sits, and plan the carry path down to the door. On the lower streets near the promenade we time around beach traffic and stay clear of the BNSF line.
Johnston Road is White Rock’s condo spine, with medium-rise buildings, shops you can walk to, and units roughly $500K to $1.2M. Condo moves here mean a booked elevator, a padded cab and a strata move-in window, and we sort all three with your building before the day. With 121 more homes coming at 1454 Oxford Street, this is where White Rock’s moving demand is headed.
White Rock has drawn retirees for decades, and the weather explains it: the lowest rainfall in Metro Vancouver and about 20 percent more sunshine than Vancouver gets. A lot of our jobs here are downsizing runs from a family house on the hill into an Uptown condo. Our senior moving crew paces the day, packs room by room, and sets up the new place so the beds are made before we leave.

Every White Rock move is priced on time, billed on the actual hours the job takes, and broken down for you up front. After the minimum, billing runs in 30-minute increments, so you never pay for a full hour we didn’t use. We don’t quote flat rates, because a flat rate is just a padded guess. What moves the hours here is real and local: a permit-only block near the beach, a steep shared driveway on the hillside, an elevator booking on Johnston Road.
Distance barely touches the bill. Surrey to White Rock is 11.7 kilometres, about 13 minutes centre to centre, straight down Highway 99 or King George Boulevard with no bridge in the way. We’ll tell you the crew size that fits your home and how the hours are likely to stack. Then we bill what the move actually takes.

Real five-star reviews from our Surrey customers, straight from Google.
Yes, every week. White Rock sits 11.7 kilometres from Surrey’s centre, about 13 minutes with no bridge or water crossing in the way. Our crews come down Highway 99 and take exits 8A and 8B, where 152 Street becomes Johnston Road, or Exit 10 at King George Boulevard. We cover the whole city, Marine Drive to Five Corners.
It’s the first thing we plan. Much of White Rock is Permit Parking Only by block, and a resident permit only covers the block printed on it plus the next adjacent block. Unpermitted vehicles get ticketed or possibly towed at the owner’s expense. We confirm your block’s rules ahead of time and lock in a legal spot, so the crew starts at your door instead of circling for parking.
Be careful with that. White Rock has a 72-hour rule, no parking on City property for 72 straight hours, and the City says it doesn’t guarantee a space will be open at any given time. Our approach is simpler. We plan the truck spot in advance, load in one visit, and go.
That’s classic White Rock work. The city climbs a hillside of cliffside homes above Semiahmoo Bay, and beachside houses come with steep driveways, narrow streets and limited parking. On view streets like Thrift Avenue and Buena Vista we walk the carry path first, pick the safest truck position, and stage the heavy pieces so nothing gets rushed on a slope.
All the time. Uptown’s medium-rise buildings need a booked elevator, a padded cab and a strata move-in window, and we arrange all of it with your building before the day. Strata fees in these buildings run about $250 to $600 a month. With the Nautilus towers bringing 121 more condos to 1454 Oxford Street, we expect a lot more of these moves.
Yes, and it’s some of our most careful work. White Rock has been a retirement draw for decades, and many of our jobs here go from a longtime family house on the hill into a smaller Uptown condo. We pace the day, pack room by room, label everything, and set up the new home before we leave.
On time. You’re billed for the actual hours the job takes, broken down up front, and after the minimum we bill in 30-minute increments. Never a flat rate. The hours come from real things, like a permit-only curb, a steep driveway, or an elevator booking on Johnston Road. The drive from Surrey is short, about 13 minutes centre to centre, so travel barely touches your bill.
Yes, both ends of Marine Drive. East Beach is the quieter, local end with residential streets close to the water. West Beach is the busier strip near the pier, with dining, pay parking and summer crowds. A BNSF rail line runs along the beach there, and one heads-up: the meters on South Marine Drive are actually Surrey’s, not White Rock’s. We factor all of that into where the truck sits.
Sure. Our packing team can box the whole home the day before, which matters in White Rock because the carries can be long on the hill and the truck window on a permit block is precious. Fewer loose items means fewer trips down that driveway. Full house or just the kitchen, your call.
We plan around it. Highway 99 ends at the Peace Arch crossing just past White Rock, so border-bound traffic shares the highway on busy days. We time the run, and if the 99 backs up we come through on King George Boulevard or the 16 Avenue side instead.
