Living in Port Coquitlam, riverside rhythm with everyday convenience
Most mornings start on the Traboulay PoCo Trail—cyclists, runners, and strollers circling wetlands and riverbanks while mountain peaks frame the skyline. By lunch, Fremont Village hums with errands and cafés, Gates Park fills with soccer and baseball, and Terry Fox imagery reminds everyone that this is his hometown. Evenings often mean a West Coast Express ride from the modern PoCo station, or sunset walks along the Pitt and Coquitlam rivers. It’s a friendly, practical city where outdoor time and daily convenience overlap.
Homes & Real Estate in Port Coquitlam
Fremont Village offers newer condos and townhomes with trail access and major retail close by. Riverwood blends newer detached homes and townhomes near schools and big-box shopping. Citadel Heights features view streets and executive homes above the river. Northside areas like Glenwood and Oxford Heights deliver larger lots and classic PoCo charm. Floodplain and drainage considerations apply near river corridors; otherwise the market stays steady thanks to family demand and commuter appeal.
