Living in Downtown Port Coquitlam
Downtown Port Coquitlam is the centre of the city's small-town identity: the Shaughnessy Street strip of local shops and restaurants, the outstanding Port Coquitlam Community Centre, Gates Park's fields along the Coquitlam River, and the West Coast Express station that puts downtown Vancouver about 40 minutes away by train.
Housing close to downtown mixes low-rise condos and townhomes — including newer projects that have followed the city's downtown revitalization — with established detached streets a few blocks out. The Traboulay PoCo Trail passes right through, connecting the river, parks, and the rest of the city's 25-km loop.
For buyers, downtown PoCo delivers a rare combination at Tri-Cities-value pricing: walkability, rail commuting, and genuine community. Farmers markets, festivals like May Day, and the rec centre's programming give the area a life that newer town centres take decades to grow.
