NEIGHBOURHOOD: Within a block of home is the École Kwayhquitlum Middle School (a French immersion school), beautiful Traboulay Trail that meanders for 25 km along the Coquitlam River, and many green spaces. Healthy active living comes naturally here. The sense of community makes it a great place for children to grow and thrive.When it comes to shopping, Coquitlam Centre has all the major retailers – including The Bay, London Drugs, the Apple Store, Sport Chek, T&T Supermarket, Wallmart, H&M, Aritzia, Sephora, Lululemon, Atmosphere, Golf Town, and Old Navy – in one convenient location. And it’s just five minutes away. The Coquitlam campus of Douglas College is also nearby. If you like to get outside and enjoy nature, living close to parks, playgrounds and the beautiful riverside Traboulay Trail makes it easy. Got high-energy kids? They’ll love the jumps and obstacles at Port Coquitlam’s new bike skills park, as well as the wave pool at the Aquatic Centre.Treat the family to brunch at Milestones, or enjoy a night out with friends at the Giggle Dam dinner theatre. There’s so much to do, and it’s all close to home. Equally convenient is being close to the Evergreen Line SkyTrain station and West Coast Express; either route makes an easy, bridge-free commute to Vancouver.
