Glenwood Village: Guildford's Hidden Gem for Townhome Buyers
If you're searching for an affordable, well-located townhome in Surrey's Guildford neighbourhood, Glenwood Village deserves a close look. Situated at 10584 153rd Street, this established complex offers one and two storey townhomes just a short walk from Guildford Town Centre — one of the Fraser Valley's busiest retail and transit hubs.
About Glenwood Village
Built in 1987, Glenwood Village is a mature strata community comprising 55 townhome units across one and two storey layouts. Unlike the high-rise condos that dominate much of Surrey's newer development pipeline, Glenwood Village offers ground-level living with private entrances, more square footage per dollar, and a quieter residential feel — all within walking distance of major amenities.
The complex sits in a well-treed, established pocket of Guildford that has maintained strong appeal for both owner-occupiers and investors. Long-time residents appreciate the sense of community that comes with a smaller, purpose-built townhome development compared to the anonymity of larger condo towers.
Location Highlights: Why Guildford Works
Glenwood Village's address on 153rd Street puts residents within a few blocks of Guildford Town Centre, which houses over 200 retailers, a major food court, and anchors like Walmart, The Bay, and a full grocery selection. This kind of walkable convenience is genuinely rare at this price point in the Lower Mainland.
- Transit: Multiple bus routes connect directly to Surrey Central SkyTrain and beyond
- Shopping: Guildford Mall is a 5–10 minute walk away
- Schools: Several elementary and secondary schools are within the catchment area
- Recreation: Bear Creek Park and Green Timbers Urban Forest are easily accessible
- Highway Access: Quick connections to Highway 1 for commuters heading to Langley, Abbotsford, or Vancouver

What to Expect Inside Glenwood Village
As a 1987-built complex, buyers should factor in the age of major systems — roofing, plumbing, and mechanical components may have been updated over the years, so reviewing strata minutes and depreciation reports carefully is essential. That said, many units have been renovated by their owners over the decades, meaning interior finishes can vary significantly from unit to unit.
Typical features in Glenwood Village townhomes include:
- Private front and/or back entrances
- In-suite or in-complex laundry
- Dedicated parking stalls
- Modest outdoor patio or yard space depending on the unit
- Two-storey layouts offering bedroom/living separation
The one and two storey format is a genuine differentiator — families with young children or buyers who simply want stairs separating living and sleeping areas will find this layout far more functional than a flat condo floor plan.
Guildford Market Context
Guildford sits within Surrey's broader market, which currently shows strong inventory across multiple price points. Surrey-wide, areas like Whalley lead with 727 active listings averaging $810K, while White Rock commands the highest averages at $1.65M. Guildford townhomes tend to offer compelling value relative to both extremes — delivering more space than a condo at a fraction of detached home prices.
For buyers comparing options, it's worth browsing the full Surrey listings search or filtering specifically by condos and apartments to see how Glenwood Village stacks up against similar inventory in the area.
Is Glenwood Village Right for You?
Glenwood Village is particularly well-suited for:

- Downsizers who want single-level or two-storey living without the maintenance burden of a full house
- Investors looking for a well-located rental unit in a high-demand area near transit and retail
