About the Building
- Address: 18983 72A Avenue, Surrey (Clayton)
- Developer: Mosaic Homes
- Year built: 2007
- Total units: 97
- Style: Colonial-inspired architecture
At 97 units, Kew is large enough to feel like a true community, yet the colonial styling gives it a cohesive, established look. Mosaic Homes has a long track record in the Lower Mainland, and Kew is a good example of their attention to streetscape and design detail during Clayton's early growth years.
What You Get Inside a Kew Home
Kew's interiors were designed with comfort and livability in mind. Key features buyers consistently notice include:
- 9' ceilings on the main floor: A real difference-maker compared with the standard 8' ceilings found in many townhomes of the era. The extra height makes living and dining spaces feel open and airy.
- Electric fireplaces: A low-maintenance, cozy focal point for the living room.
- Quartz countertops: A durable, attractive kitchen surface that holds up well to daily family use.
Green Space Backing Units
One of Kew's standout selling points is that some units back onto green space. These homes tend to offer noticeably more privacy, with no neighbours looking in from behind, along with plenty of natural light streaming through the rear windows. If you value a quieter outlook and a sense of separation from the bustle, ask specifically about green-space-facing units when touring.
The Clayton Lifestyle
Clayton has grown into one of Surrey's most sought-after communities for young families and first-time buyers. Kew's location on 72A Avenue puts you within the established core of the neighbourhood, close to schools, parks, shopping and everyday amenities. Clayton's blend of newer construction, family-oriented amenities and relatively quick access to major routes keeps demand steady year after year.

Is Kew Right for You?
Kew tends to suit:
- Growing families who want more room than a condo without stepping up to a detached home
- First-time buyers looking for a townhome with character and quality finishes
- Buyers who value privacy, especially those targeting green-space-backing units
- Anyone who appreciates a classic look over a more modern, boxy aesthetic
Tips for Touring and Buying at Kew

- Review the strata documents: For a 2007-built community, check depreciation reports, recent maintenance and any planned capital projects.
- Check comparable sales: Look at recent Clayton townhome sales to confirm pricing, and use our listing search to see what's currently available.
