Housing and Zoning
Housing ranges from condominiums to medium priced homes, all the way up to exclusive executive waterfront residences. One waterfront townhouse complex and three floating home developments in Ladner have their own moorage. Single family dwellings still predominate.
With a few exceptions, most new development is "in-fill". A greater emphasis is being placed on environmental and transportation issues. Most new homes in Tsawwassen attract high-income residents.
