Port Coquitlam Neighbourhood Guide

A smaller, residential city where the West Coast Express meets the Coquitlam River trails.

Character

PoCo feels more small-town than its Tri-Cities neighbours: a compact downtown core along Shaughnessy Street with local shops and cafés, surrounded by established family neighbourhoods. The Coquitlam River and the Traboulay PoCo Trail — a loop trail around the city — give daily life an outdoors focus.

Getting around

Port Coquitlam Station is on the West Coast Express, with weekday commuter trains to downtown Vancouver. Buses connect to Coquitlam Central Station and the SkyTrain network, and Highway 1 and the Mary Hill Bypass serve drivers.

Homes

Mostly single-family houses and townhouse complexes, with some low-rise condos near the downtown core and newer development in the Dominion Triangle area in the city's northeast.

Who it suits

Buyers looking for a quieter, family-focused community with green space at the door, who commute by West Coast Express or by car.
