Dogwood Gardens: A Classic Cloverdale Townhome Community
If you're searching for affordable, spacious townhome living in one of Surrey's most established neighbourhoods, Dogwood Gardens at 5850 177B Street deserves a serious look. This well-known Cloverdale BC complex offers a lifestyle that's hard to replicate at this price point — private outdoor space, covered parking, and a large community pool, all within a walkable, family-friendly setting.
About Dogwood Gardens
Built in 1969, Dogwood Gardens is one of Cloverdale's original townhome communities. With 86 units spread across two-storey buildings, the complex has stood the test of time and remains a sought-after address for buyers who value space, community, and value. You can explore current availability and building details directly on the Dogwood Gardens building page.
What Makes Dogwood Gardens Stand Out?
- Two-storey townhome layouts — Ideal for families, couples, and anyone who wants separation between living and sleeping areas
- Private carport per unit — Covered parking is a genuine convenience, especially during Metro Vancouver's rainy winters
- Large private patios — Rare in strata living, these outdoor spaces are perfect for entertaining, gardening, or simply relaxing outside
- Outdoor pool — A full-sized community pool shared among residents, a significant amenity that adds real lifestyle value
- 86 total units — Large enough to keep strata fees reasonable through shared costs, yet still maintains a neighbourhood feel
Life in Cloverdale BC
Dogwood Gardens sits in the heart of Cloverdale BC, one of Surrey's most charming and historically rich communities. Cloverdale is known for its small-town atmosphere, the iconic Cloverdale Rodeo & Country Fair, and a walkable town centre with independent shops, cafes, and restaurants along 176 Street.
For families, the neighbourhood offers excellent schools, parks, and recreation facilities within easy reach. Commuters benefit from quick access to Highway 10 and Fraser Highway, making trips to Langley, Surrey City Centre, or the US border straightforward. Those looking at nearby communities can also explore listings in Fleetwood Tynehead and Clayton, both of which border Cloverdale and offer complementary options.
Who Is Dogwood Gardens Right For?
This complex appeals to a wide range of buyers:
- First-time buyers looking for more space than a condo at a townhome price point
- Downsizers who want low-maintenance living without sacrificing outdoor space
- Investors attracted to Cloverdale's rental demand and long-term value stability
- Families who need the extra square footage that two-storey layouts provide
The combination of a carport, patio, and pool is genuinely uncommon in this price range — most comparable strata properties in Surrey either sacrifice parking or outdoor space. Dogwood Gardens delivers both.
Understanding the Cloverdale Market
Cloverdale BC sits within the broader Surrey market, which currently shows strong activity. Whalley leads Surrey in volume with 697 active listings averaging $767K, while areas like Willoughby Heights average $1,163K across 534 listings. Cloverdale typically offers a middle ground — community-oriented living with pricing that remains accessible compared to South Surrey or White Rock.

Nearby Communities Worth Exploring
Cloverdale buyers often compare notes with adjacent neighbourhoods. East Newton and Sullivan Station both offer established family communities with competitive townhome inventory. For those open to looking slightly further east, our partners at Langley Homes For Sale cover the Langley market in depth — another popular destination for Cloverdale-area buyers priced out of Surrey.
If you're also considering White Rock or South Surrey, South Surrey White Rock Realtors and White Rock Real Estate Listings are excellent resources for that corridor.
