If you’ve entertained the idea of owning real estate in Metro Vancouver, you know that space and location are the key components of a successful investment and family home.
Unfortunately it can be difficult to get both space and location at the right price. That’s why city-dwellers and hopeful urbanites are looking to up and coming neighbourhoods to find homes that suit their needs. Fortunately this shift has resulted in thriving new neighbourhoods, situated closer to the incredible outdoor living that makes living in B.C. so desirable.
The latest addition to Metro Vancouver’s sprawling urban market comes in the form of a new development in Langley called The Henley, which offers huge floor plans for buyers with smaller budgets. Pricing at The Henley starts in the low 300’s for one bedroom homes and low 400’s for 2 bedroom homes.

Developments like The Henley give Vancouverites the opportunity to live with the practical luxuries of a single family home without compromising on space or budget. As an example, homes at The Henley feature feature open concept floor plans, spacious living areas, 9 ft ceilings and generous hallways and closets. The well-designed suites also include full size laundry/storage rooms plus master bedrooms expanded by walk-in closets and ensuites. Additional features include:
• Waterfall Venatino quartz countertops
• High quality laminate floors throughout the living, kitchen and dining areas
• Sleek and stylish black matte hardware
• Sound limiting walls and ceilings
• Optional additional parking and bike lockers
While interior space is obviously a much needed feature, the exterior spaces surrounding the Henley are what really set this apart from similar developments popping up around the city.
The Henley is walking distance to public transit, including future skytrain, trendy boutiques, multitudes of multicultural restaurants and cafes of Langley City Center. Should you crave a little extra greenery, The Henley is also minutes from public parks, nature trails and hiking spots. That’s not to say you can’t enjoy the outdoors from your new home. Shared amenities at The Henley include an entertainment size BBQ area and a shared community gardens for growing herbs and vegetables.
Ultimately The Henley gives homeowners the opportunity to enjoy the benefits of owning a house (gardening, spending time outdoors and space) with the added benefits of an urban development, such as modern finishing and proximity to bars, restaurants and amenities. Conventional outdoor amenities combined with functional interiors provide an incredible option for individuals and families who are tired of compromising contemporary aesthetics for outdoor living, or vice-versa. If you’re looking for the best of both worlds, The Henley should definitely be on your must-see list.
