South Surrey, Canada

Retirees make up the biggest slice of South Surrey's 77,170 residents, a fact reflected in the region's abundance of golf courses and senior centers. While the area's mild climate and scenic ocean views appeal to those seeking a quiet, cozy enclave, navigating the bureaucratic web of public transit and secondary schools can be a persistent headache. With a senior population surpassing any other Surrey town center, this community caters primarily to those seeking a tranquil retirement, rather than young professionals or growing families.
