About Steveston
Steveston has its own area plan within Richmond’s planning framework.
- Use the plan boundaries to orient your search, then focus on the street, building and travel pattern attached to each address.
What to check on a visit
Plan one ordinary weekday visit as well as a leisure visit.
- Try grocery shopping, parking and the route home.
- If outdoor space is important, check exposure and privacy, and ask who maintains decks, fences and landscaped areas.
Questions to ask before buying
Compare properties through your actual routine instead of a holiday impression.
- A home with attractive surroundings still needs a thorough condition review.
- For renovations or changed uses, obtain property-specific advice from the municipality and the professionals handling your purchase.

Planning resources for Richmond
Richmond reports 49 kilometres of dikes and 39 drainage pump stations in its flood-protection system.
Read the City’s flood information, then ask about the individual property, disclosures and insurance. A city-wide protection system is not an address-specific risk assessment.
