Walnut Grove is the north-central Township neighbourhood between Willoughby and the Fraser River. It was developed mostly in the 1980s through the 2000s as a family-oriented master-planned suburb, and the streetscape reflects that: wide streets, large lots, rows of two- and three-storey detached houses with double garages, and a compact commercial core around 88th Avenue and Walnut Grove Drive. The Golden Ears Bridge — the Township's direct link to Maple Ridge and the North Fraser — touches the north edge of Walnut Grove, which makes the neighbourhood strongly car-oriented and surprisingly well-connected to the North Shore suburbs for those willing to drive.

The appeal is the schools and the housing stock. Walnut Grove Secondary School is one of Langley's top-ranked public high schools, and the elementary schools in the neighbourhood are consistently strong. Three-bedroom detached houses list in the $1.1M–1.6M range — expensive but genuinely cheaper than equivalent Surrey or Burnaby houses, and with larger lots. Rental townhouses in the 2000s-era complexes list at $2,600–3,400 for three bedrooms; secondary suites in houses run $1,600–2,000 for a one-bedroom ground-floor unit.

The neighbourhood has a substantial South Asian community (though smaller than Willoughby's) and a significant population of Dutch-Canadian families dating back to the post-war Mennonite farming immigration that shaped much of Langley's early 20th century. Walnut Grove is genuinely a family neighbourhood — the demographic skews younger and more child-focused than any of the City of Langley or the outer Township. If you want a house with a yard, established schools, and a low-hassle suburban commute, Walnut Grove is the default answer in Langley.
