Buying Port Coquitlam real estate is a passport to the community feeling of small-town life while still benefiting from all the amenities of a modern city. The hot real estate market in Vancouver has also influenced conditions here, but prices remain lower than in downtown Vancouver.
Anyone looking to buy a home in Port Coquitlam’s real estate market will find a range of options to suit all requirements and budgets, including condos, townhomes and detached houses.
First settled in the 1850s, Port Coquitlam experienced rapid growth in the early 1900s thanks to its location close to the Canadian Pacific Railway terminus in Port Moody. Today, it remains a bustling city.
As well as being just a short trip into downtown Vancouver via the Evergreen SkyTrain extension, the neighbouring cities of Port Moody and Coquitlam (collectively referred to as the Tri-Cities) ensure there is lots to explore. As well as its public transit links, Port Coquitlam is well connected by roads including the Lougheed Highway to the surrounding municipalities and beyond.
For urban explorers, there are plenty of restaurants, bars, shops and a thriving cultural scene. Added to that is the scenery which has earned the ‘Beautiful BC’ name. It’s easy to get out of the city to Belcarra Regional Park, Pinecone Burke Provincial Park or Pitt-Addington Marsh. There are extensive hiking trails allowing you to explore lakes and mountains.
For those planning to raise a family in the city, there are several elementary, middle and high schools, providing both public and private schooling options (including French-immersion and religious schools).
