Whonnock

Whonnock occupies Maple Ridge's eastern edge along the Fraser River, a rural, low-density community centred on small Whonnock Lake and its community park. Acreages and older character homes dominate, and the pace here stays noticeably slower than the busier growth areas closer to central Maple Ridge, appealing to buyers who want genuine distance from the city without leaving the Lower Mainland.

Getting around

Lougheed Highway runs through Whonnock, connecting east to Mission and west to central Maple Ridge, with a car necessary for most trips.

Schools & family

Whonnock Elementary serves the community directly, with older students continuing on in central Maple Ridge.

Shopping & lifestyle

Local shops are limited, with most residents driving into central Maple Ridge or Mission for fuller shopping.
