By Newbuild · · How we write this
Upterra in Abbotsford has the lowest starting price of any presale townhome development in the region where every unit has three or more bedrooms: $639,900. That's as of September 26, 2026, checked directly against our own catalogue of every project currently marked as selling.
This is a narrower question than "cheapest townhouse." A lot of listed "from" prices belong to a two-bedroom corner unit in a building that also has three- and four-bedroom homes. This list only counts developments where the smallest unit on offer already has three bedrooms or more, so a family that needs the extra room isn't going to open the floor plans and find out the cheap one doesn't fit them.

Method: for each city, we pulled every development in our catalogue with a status of "selling" and a minimum bedroom count of three or higher, then took the lowest listed starting price. A project only makes this list if none of its floor plans drop below three bedrooms — a building with a mix of one-, two- and three-bedroom units doesn't qualify, even if its three-bedroom units are cheap.
Two cities we checked have no entry: West Vancouver and White Rock currently have no development, selling or coming soon, where every unit is three bedrooms or larger and sales have actually opened. Both have projects in the pipeline, but nothing selling yet clears the bar.
Where the gap comes from
The spread between Abbotsford's $639,900 and Burnaby's $1,298,000 is about $658,000, and it isn't random. The cheapest end of the list — Abbotsford, Delta, Maple Ridge, Surrey, Langley — is where the Fraser Valley and the outer suburbs meet, and it's also where most of the townhome supply actually sits. Queens Townhomes alone has 127 units; Rocklin has 133. Land is cheaper out there and builders can put up more units per site, which shows up directly in the starting price.
The expensive end — Burnaby, Port Moody, Richmond — is closer to the core, on smaller sites, with far fewer homes per project. Dufferin Row in Burnaby has 6 units. Flavelle Place in Port Moody has 11. There's less to spread the land cost across, and less competition between projects to hold the entry price down. Vancouver and North Vancouver land in the middle of the list only because their qualifying projects — Quintet and 1515 Rupert — happen to be smaller, mixed-use developments rather than large townhome sites; a bigger three-bedroom-only project in either city, if one gets built, could easily undercut them.
Burnaby is worth a second look on its own. It isn't expensive because three-bedroom-plus townhomes don't sell there — it's expensive because Dufferin Row is the only development in the city, at any price, where every unit has three bedrooms or more and sales are open. One project sets the entire city's floor.
What this list doesn't tell you
A starting price is the cheapest unit in the building, not the typical one. In several of these projects the $1,000-plus difference between the smallest three-bedroom layout and the largest four-bedroom one is bigger than the gap between cities. It also doesn't account for maintenance fees, parking, or lot size — a $639,900 unit in Abbotsford and a $1,298,000 unit in Burnaby are not the same product; they're just both the cheapest thing available in their city that fits a family needing three bedrooms.

What would change this list
Three things move these numbers: a new project launching with a lower price than the current floor in its city, an existing project on this list selling out or being pulled from the market, or a price change on one of these fourteen developments. We recompute this ranking from the live catalogue each time we revisit it, so a project like Marilyn on the Park — already past its 2024 completion year and still marked selling — is the kind of listing likeliest to run out of inventory and drop off first. West Vancouver and White Rock are the two to watch for a different reason: either could go from zero qualifying projects to one the day a coming-soon development in the pipeline actually opens for sales.
