Kits was a great neighbourhood as far back as I can remember (mid 80s).
Surrey seems closer than it did decades ago but it's still on the edge of town. I wouldn't expect dramatic lifestyle/prestige changes anytime soon.

I don't get the "edge of town" comment. Surrey central is actually regionally and population wise pretty much dead center. New West and Central Surrey are as central as you can get. It takes as long from Metrotown via SkyTrain to get to Surrey Central as it does downtown Vancouver. And for the rest of the region out all the way to Abbotsford, it is faster to get to Surrey Central.
Downtown Vancouver is in the top corner of the region.
