Building Overview
- Address: 12110 - 12160 80 Avenue, Surrey
- Neighbourhood: West Newton
- Year built: 1996
- Total units: 150 condos
- Structure: Three-building strata
Built in 1996, La Costa Green is a mature complex with nearly three decades of history behind it. Unlike a single-tower development, the three-building layout spreads the 150 homes across a more intimate scale, which many buyers prefer over a large high-rise with hundreds of residents sharing a single lobby and elevator bank.
Location: Transit, Scottsdale Mall, and Everyday Convenience
The biggest selling point here is location. La Costa Green is centrally located near transit and Scottsdale Mall, giving residents access to shopping and restaurants without needing to drive far. For commuters, nearby bus routes along the 80 Avenue and Scott Road corridors connect to SkyTrain and other parts of Surrey, making it a practical choice for anyone who wants to reduce their reliance on a vehicle.
West Newton as a whole is one of Surrey's more affordable and accessible neighbourhoods. With 218 active listings and an average price of around $948K across all property types, it sits well below the pricing seen in areas like Bear Creek Green Timbers (averaging roughly $1.72M) or Clayton (around $1.35M). Condos in a complex like La Costa Green typically offer a far lower entry point than the neighbourhood average, which is weighted by detached homes and townhouses.
Who Is La Costa Green a Good Fit For?

What to Know About Buying in a 1996 Strata
Buildings from the mid-1990s can offer excellent value, but due diligence matters. When considering a unit at La Costa Green, be sure to:
- Review the depreciation report to understand the long-term plan for major building components such as roofing, windows, and building envelope.
- Read recent strata minutes for any discussion of special levies, upcoming repairs, or insurance changes.
- Check the contingency reserve fund balance relative to planned expenses.
- Confirm monthly strata fees and what they include.
- Ask about rental and pet bylaws if either is important to your plans.
