Overview

The Chorus Apartment

Chorus is a 71-unit inclusive apartment complex that serves South Surrey families, seniors, people with developmental disabilities, essential workers, and students.

The inclusive nature of Chorus means that the tenant mix reflects the community, including those who are being priced out of their neighbourhood or who have historically not been included, such as people with developmental disabilities. Chorus has proven a great success in the seven years it has existed, and the community is healthier and stronger because of its presence.

A modern townhouse with stone and siding exterior, a small landscaped yard with a young tree, shrubs, and plants, and a black metal fence. There are stairs and a wooden pergola on the walkway.
