Coquitlam

The City Of Coquitlam is the largest of the Tri-Cities and is currently the sixth largest city in British Columbia. The estimated population is sitting currently at 145,000 and is composed of a very diverse cross-section of nationalities and cultures. Coquitlam is unique in that it borders Burnaby, Port Moody, Port Coquitlam and New Westminster and houses a great mix of cosmopolitan amenities as well as recreational opportunities.

Coquitlam is a constantly developing city with a wonderful mix of established neighbourhoods and newly developed communities. Its popularity is maintained by its proximity to Vancouver as well as its accessibility, owed in part to the recent addition of the Evergreen Extension portion of the Skytrain which helped connect the Town Centre area of Coquitlam to rapid travel to the downtown Vancouver core. A great resource to help you explore and enjoy Coquitlam is Tourism Coquitlam.



The Coquitlam West/East communities are comprised of established neighbourhoods of mainly single family homes, townhouses, duplexes and commercial areas. Recently, condominium development has started in certain areas. The Poirier Sports and Leisure Complex is home to the Coquitlam Express Junior B ice hockey team as well as aquatic facilities and other programs. Como Lake Park and Mundy Park continue to be large draws for outdoor recreation and photography.

The Coquitlam Town Centre region can now be described as the main hub for Coquitlam. In addition to the Coquitlam Centre Mall complex, it houses the main Transit, Westcoast Express and Evergreen Line stations, City Hall, Douglas College, Town Centre Stadium and the Coquitlam Aquatic Centre. It is composed mainly of high density housing (condominiums and townhomes) with a few single family neighbourhoods nearby.
