If you're searching for a quiet, well-built retirement community in Surrey's East Newton neighbourhood, Cottages at Sullivan deserves a close look.

About the Cottages at Sullivan
Built in 2002, the Cottages at Sullivan is a boutique 55+ retirement community comprising just 16 units spread across two separate complexes. This small scale is a significant part of its appeal — residents enjoy a close-knit atmosphere that larger strata developments simply can't replicate.
Every unit at Cottages at Sullivan is a two-bedroom, two-bathroom carriage-style townhome of approximately 1,100 square feet. The floor plans are thoughtfully designed for comfortable single-level living, with no wasted space and practical layouts that suit retirees and downsizers alike.
Key Features & Finishes
- 9-foot ceilings — rare in townhomes of this era, giving each unit an open, airy feel
- Radiant in-floor heating — efficient, quiet, and exceptionally comfortable in BC's cooler months
- Gas fireplaces — adds warmth and ambiance to the main living area
- Two bedrooms and two full bathrooms — practical for couples or those wanting a guest room or home office
- Approximately 1,100 sq ft per unit — spacious enough for comfortable daily living, manageable enough for easy maintenance
- Carriage-style architecture — attractive streetscape with classic detailing that holds its character over time
Why East Newton Is an Excellent Choice for 55+ Buyers

The neighbourhood features wide streets, established trees, and easy access to everyday essentials without the density and noise of Surrey's more urban centres like Whalley, where the average listing price currently sits around $752,000 with 737 active properties on the market.
East Newton offers a slower pace while still keeping you connected. Residents of Cottages at Sullivan are close to:
- Newton Town Centre and Newton Wave Pool recreation complex

Who Is Cottages at Sullivan Right For?
This development is specifically designed for buyers aged 55 and over, making it ideal for:
- Couples downsizing from a larger family home in Surrey or the Fraser Valley

- Retirees who want the feel of a house — with a private entrance, gas fireplace, and real square footage — without the upkeep of a detached property
- Buyers relocating closer to family in the Surrey/White Rock corridor
With only 16 units in the complex, turnover is naturally limited.
