Tucked away in the heart of South Delta, Ladner is a picturesque village that blends small-town charm with modern amenities. Known for its historic roots, Ladner offers a welcoming community atmosphere where locals enjoy a slower pace of life, while still being just a short drive from Vancouver. The village is famous for its quaint streets lined with heritage buildings, a bustling farmers market, local shops, and delightful restaurants, making it a favorite for those who appreciate a close-knit, family-friendly environment. Ladner is surrounded by stunning farmland, the scenic Fraser River, and walking trails, offering residents plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. If living by the river appeals to you, there are numerous townhomes, condos, and even houseboats lining the Fraser River shoreline.
For over 25 years, my family and I have spent countless hours on the Fraser River, enjoying water sports like waterskiing and wake surfing. There’s nothing quite like spending the day on the water, surrounded by nature, and creating lasting memories with loved ones. One of our favorite spots along the river is the local Riverhouse Marina Pub & Restaurant, where we’ve shared many meals after a day on the water. The close connection to the river has deepened our love for Ladner and all it has to offer.
