Neighbourhood guide

Living in Quayside

Quayside is New Westminster's waterfront residential district, a strip of riverside condominiums and public boardwalk on the Fraser River.

Location & boundaries

It runs along Quayside Drive on the north bank of the Fraser below the downtown ridge, west of the SkyTrain stations. Downtown lies immediately inland.

History

The waterfront shifted from working shipping terminals and a public market to a residential and recreational area from the 1980s, with the Westminster Quay market opening for Expo 86.

Lifestyle

It is a walkable, amenity-rich waterfront setting oriented to the river and its esplanade.

Housing & property types

Housing is almost entirely mid-rise and high-rise condominiums, including newer waterfront towers.

Shopping & dining

The River Market offers food vendors, shops and restaurants steps from the boardwalk.

Parks & recreation

The Waterfront Esplanade and Westminster Pier Park form a continuous riverside boardwalk and park about 2.5 km long.

Schools

The New Westminster School District (SD40) serves the area.

Getting around

Columbia and New Westminster SkyTrain stations are a short walk up from the waterfront.

Attractions & landmarks

The Fraser River Discovery Centre and Samson V Maritime Museum are on the quay.

Who it may suit

It may suit downsizers and professionals wanting low-maintenance waterfront condo living near transit.

Buying a home in Quayside

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.
