Coquitlam — Coquitlam Centre Neighbourhood Guide

A family-oriented city centre where the SkyTrain's Evergreen extension meets the West Coast Express.

Character

Coquitlam's planned downtown, built around the Coquitlam Centre shopping mall. Lafarge Lake and Town Centre Park act as its green living room — walking trails, sports fields and community events — so the centre feels suburban and family-paced even as new towers rise.

Getting around

Coquitlam Central Station combines the Millennium Line (Evergreen extension) with the West Coast Express commuter train to downtown Vancouver, plus a bus exchange — one of the few Metro Vancouver centres with both SkyTrain and commuter rail.

Homes

Newer condo towers and townhouses near the station, older low-rise condos and apartments, and single-family homes on the established streets and hills around the centre.

Who it suits

Families who want parks, schools and community facilities nearby; commuters who like having both SkyTrain and commuter-rail options; buyers looking for newer housing stock in a suburban setting.
