Why Burquitlam-Lougheed Is a Smart Move in 2025

If you’re looking for a neighbourhood that blends convenience, transit access and future potential in the Tri-Cities, the Burquitlam-Lougheed area deserves your attention. Situated in Burquitlam and Lougheed Town Centre (Coquitlam), this zone benefits from the Evergreen Line SkyTrain extension and the city’s transit-oriented area (TOA) planning. The Burquitlam‑Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan positions this area for mixed-use development, walkable amenities and a wider mix of housing types. 

For buyers and investors alike, this means properties near transit carry strong appeal — whether you’re targeting a condo for convenience, a townhouse for family space, or an investment close to future growth. With benchmark price declines in some Coquitlam areas recently (for example detached homes in Coquitlam showing ~-2.6 % year-over-year in Burke Mountain)  the Burquitlam-Lougheed area offers upside in both living and investment terms.

As a Top Tri-Cities REALTOR®, I recommend clients consider this neighbourhood for its strategic location, evolving infrastructure, and value in 2025 and beyond.
