Living in Guildford
Guildford is Surrey's north-east town centre, built around Guildford Town Centre mall and the 104 Avenue corridor. It sits right next to Highway 1 and the Port Mann Bridge, which makes it one of the easiest parts of Surrey for commuting toward Coquitlam, Burnaby and the Tri-Cities.
The area mixes busy commercial streets with quieter residential pockets.
