Lingo at 5665 177B Street: A Boutique Condo in the Heart of Cloverdale
Tucked into the walkable core of historic Cloverdale, Lingo is a small, green certified condo building that has become a quiet favourite for buyers who want character, convenience, and a true small-town feel without leaving Surrey. Completed in 2013 with just 29 units, it offers a very different ownership experience from the large high-rise towers found in Whalley or Guildford.

Building Overview
- Address: 5665 177B Street, Cloverdale, BC
- Year built: 2013
- Total units: 29
- Certification: Green certified construction
- Location: Downtown Cloverdale
With only 29 homes, Lingo has a tight-knit community feel. Fewer units typically means quieter hallways, less elevator traffic, and a more engaged strata, all of which can matter when you're deciding where to put down roots.
What You Get Inside: Finishes and Features
Lingo was marketed with a finish level that stood out for the area at the time, and the specifications still hold up well today:
- 9-foot ceilings: Noticeably more open and bright than the standard 8-foot ceilings found in many older condos.
- Stainless steel appliances: A modern, low-maintenance kitchen setup.
- Quartz countertops: Durable, easy to maintain, and a favourite among buyers who cook.
- Undermount sinks: A cleaner look and easier countertop wipe-downs.
- Hand-scraped flooring: Adds warmth and texture that suits the character of the neighbourhood.
Combined with green certified construction, these features make Lingo a solid option for buyers who want modern finishes without paying new-build premiums on the latest towers.
Why Downtown Cloverdale Is Such a Draw
Location is a big part of Lingo's appeal. Downtown Cloverdale has a distinct identity within Surrey: a historic main street, local shops and restaurants, farmers' markets, and community events throughout the year. Residents can run daily errands on foot, which is increasingly rare in a city known for car-dependent suburbs.
For a broader look at the neighbourhood, including schools, parks, transit, and lifestyle, explore our Cloverdale BC area guide. Highlights that matter to condo owners include:
- Walkable access to cafes, pubs, and independent retailers
- The Cloverdale Fairgrounds, Rodeo, and seasonal community events
- Nearby recreation, including the Cloverdale Recreation Centre and Clayton Heights-area amenities
- Easy access to Highway 15 and Highway 10 for commuting toward Langley, White Rock, or the US border
Cloverdale Market Snapshot
Cloverdale BC currently has roughly 292 active listings with an average price near $1.26 million, a figure heavily influenced by detached homes and townhomes in the area's newer subdivisions. Condos like Lingo sit well below that average, which makes them an attractive entry point into one of Surrey's most desirable communities.
For comparison, nearby Clayton averages about $1.32 million across 152 active listings, and Sullivan Station averages about $1.26 million across 232 listings. If your budget is tighter, a condo in downtown Cloverdale can deliver the same postal-code appeal at a fraction of the cost of a detached home.
Who Is Lingo Best Suited For?
- First-time buyers: A lower price point than townhomes or houses in the same community, with modern finishes.
- Downsizers: A small building, walkable amenities, and low-maintenance living in a familiar part of Surrey.
- Investors: Boutique buildings in walkable town centres tend to attract steady rental interest. See our condo search to compare similar opportunities.
- Remote workers: 9-foot ceilings and a walkable neighbourhood make working from home more pleasant.
Tips for Buying at Lingo
- Review the strata documents: In a 29-unit building, the contingency reserve fund, depreciation report, and any upcoming special levies matter a great deal, since costs are spread across fewer owners.
- Confirm parking and storage: Ask exactly what is included with each unit, as configurations can vary.
- Check rental and pet bylaws: Small buildings often have specific rules that can affect both lifestyle and investment plans.
- Compare against other Cloverdale options: Browse our full building directory and the interactive map to see how Lingo stacks up on location and price.
