Location: A Block From Scott Road
The biggest selling point of Kennedy Woods is its position. The building sits just a block from Scott Road, one of Surrey's major north-south corridors. That means:
- Transit access: Frequent bus service along Scott Road connects residents to Scott Road SkyTrain Station and onward to Surrey Central, New Westminster, and Metro Vancouver beyond.
- Shopping: Superstore and a range of surrounding retail are close enough to walk or take a very short drive for groceries and daily errands.
- Restaurants and services: The Scott Road corridor offers a wide variety of casual dining, cafes, banks, and professional services.
For commuters, the location makes it simple to get to Vancouver, Burnaby, or Richmond without relying on a car, while still staying within Surrey's more attainable price range.
About the Building
Built in 2000, Kennedy Woods is a small, low-density community with just 28 homes. Smaller buildings like this tend to appeal to buyers who prefer a quieter atmosphere and a more tight-knit strata, rather than the larger towers popping up across Surrey's city centre. A few things worth noting about buildings of this vintage and size:
- Established strata: With over two decades of operation, there is a meaningful financial history to review, including depreciation reports, contingency reserve fund balances, and past maintenance.
- Fewer units, fewer voices: Smaller stratas can make decisions more efficiently, though special levies can feel larger on a per-unit basis if major repairs arise.
- Lower density feel: Less foot traffic, easier parking situations, and a more neighbourly environment than high-rise living.
Who Is Kennedy Woods Best Suited For?
First-Time Buyers
Queen Mary Park Surrey has long been a popular entry point into the ownership market. While the neighbourhood's average listing price sits around $1.125M across all property types, that figure is pulled up by detached homes and townhomes. Condos in established buildings like Kennedy Woods typically sit well below that, making them a realistic option for buyers working toward their first purchase.
Commuters and Transit Users
If you work in downtown Vancouver, Burnaby, or New Westminster, being near Scott Road and its transit connections is a major advantage. You can reduce or eliminate a second vehicle, saving thousands per year.
Investors
Proximity to transit and shopping consistently supports rental demand. Investors should review the building's rental restrictions and bylaws carefully before purchasing, and request the latest strata minutes and financial statements.

What to Check Before You Buy
When evaluating any resale condo, especially one that is 20+ years old, do your homework:
- Request the strata's most recent depreciation report and review the contingency reserve fund.
- Read through the last two years of strata meeting minutes for mentions of repairs, levies, or disputes.
- Confirm bylaws on pets, rentals, and age restrictions.
- Ask about building envelope, roof, and plumbing updates.
- Verify parking and storage details for the specific unit.
