Neighbourhood guide

Living in Central Coquitlam

Central Coquitlam is a large, established residential district in the middle of the city, made up largely of single-family subdivisions built from the 1950s through the 1970s. It is known for major parks and a settled, family feel.

Location & boundaries

It occupies the central part of Coquitlam, roughly between the Austin Heights and Burquitlam areas to the west and the Town Centre to the east, taking in the Blue Mountain and Como Lake areas.

Lifestyle

It is a stable, family-oriented area of quiet residential streets with easy access to parks and recreation.

Housing & property types

The mix is mostly detached houses, some with secondary suites, alongside townhomes and low- and high-rise apartments reflecting decades of gradual infill.

Parks & recreation

Mundy Park, a large urban forest with trails and two lakes, and Como Lake Park are the signature green spaces, and the Poirier Sport & Leisure Complex offers pools, ice rinks and curling.

Schools are part of School District 43 (Coquitlam).

Getting around

Como Lake Avenue and Blue Mountain Street are the main arteries, and the area sits between Burquitlam and Coquitlam Central SkyTrain stations.

Buying a home in Central Coquitlam

BC's 2023 small-scale multi-unit housing legislation now allows three to four units on most single-family lots in larger municipalities, which is reshaping what detached lots are worth. Check the lot's current zoning with the municipality, and get a home inspection and a title search before removing subjects.

Budget for BC's property transfer tax on top of the price — it's charged on the purchase and first-time buyers and new builds may qualify for exemptions. See our BC & Alberta closing costs checklist.
