Overview

The Burquitlam-Lougheed corridor straddles the Burnaby-Coquitlam boundary, which is North Road. Burquitlam Station is in Coquitlam, 191 metres east of the boundary; Lougheed Town Centre Station is in Burnaby, 1.5 kilometres south-west. The Evergreen Extension (Millennium Line) opened on December 2, 2016, and Lougheed Town Centre was already open.

The Coquitlam side is covered by the Burquitlam Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan, adopted on June 26, 2017. An address there is in School District 43 and pays Coquitlam's municipal rate, $2.083 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2025.

The Burnaby side is Lougheed in Burnaby 2050, the Official Community Plan adopted on December 9, 2025, which names Lougheed one of three Town Centres with Brentwood and Edmonds. An address there is in School District 41 and pays Burnaby's municipal rate, $1.556 per $1,000 in 2025.

North Road is the district boundary as well as the city boundary. The school an address feeds is set by the district's locator, so confirm it there before paying a premium for a school.

Route 143 runs between Burquitlam Station and Simon Fraser University in about 11 minutes. Mundy Park is about 4 kilometres east of the station.

Bill 44 (2023) requires both cities to allow three or four units on most lots zoned for single detached or duplex use, and six within 400 metres of frequent transit on a lot over 280 square metres (3,014 square feet). Around both stations the Bill 47 transit-oriented rules allow more.

What you get living here

The things that don't show up in a listing — the standing rituals and quiet anchors that make Burquitlam feel like a place rather than a postal code.

Two cities, one name

Burquitlam is a portmanteau of Burnaby and Coquitlam

The name itself tells the geography: Burnaby and Coquitlam, the two cities that meet along North Road. The neighbourhood sits in Coquitlam, the SkyTrain interchange at Lougheed Town Centre, 1.5 kilometres south-west, sits in Burnaby, and which side of North Road an address falls on changes the school district (SD #41 vs SD #43) and the mill rate. In 2025 the municipal rate was $1.556 per $1,000 of assessed value in Burnaby and $2.083 in Coquitlam.

December 2, 2016

Burquitlam Station was the trigger for the biggest single redevelopment in Coquitlam this decade

The Evergreen Extension opened December 2, 2016 and Burquitlam Station landed on Clarke Road. Within seven months the City of Coquitlam had adopted the Burquitlam-Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan (June 26, 2017), a 20–25 year framework targeting roughly 9,000–10,000 new homes around the station. The condo and rental tower pipeline since has been the largest single redevelopment programme in the city.

North Road

North Road south of Lougheed Highway is the corridor's food street

Walk North Road south of Lougheed Highway and the storefronts read as a working high street: H Mart and Hannam Supermarket among about 20 Korean restaurants and cafes. The commercial concentration predates the SkyTrain by decades and persists alongside the new tower wave; it's the daily-life signal that lets Burquitlam keep its identity even as the skyline turns over.

~435 acres of urban park

Mundy Park is the park next door to the neighbourhood, but 4 kilometres from the station

Mundy Park covers about 176 hectares (~435 acres) east of Burquitlam: second-growth forest, Mundy Lake and Lost Lake, and an internal trail network. It starts about 4 kilometres east of Burquitlam Station, outside the neighbourhood plan boundary; Como Lake Park is nearer, about 2.3 kilometres east.

SFU at the back door

The Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area starts about 530 metres from Burquitlam Station. Route 143 runs between the station and the SFU transit exchange in about 11 minutes, every 12 minutes on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Route 145 does not serve Burquitlam.

Inside Burquitlam

Burquitlam reads as one neighbourhood from a distance, but on the ground the housing fabric is layered. Each piece has its own rules, its own inventory, and its own buyer.

Schools

As of October 2026, School District 41 is the Burnaby district and School District 43 is the Coquitlam district, so North Road is the district boundary as well as the city boundary. The school an address feeds is set by the district's locator, and the two districts differ in programs and out-of-catchment rules.

Confirm the catchment school in the district's locator before paying a premium for a school. SD #43's IB Diploma Programme runs at Port Moody Secondary, where it has been offered since 1986, and admission is by application from any Coquitlam-side Burquitlam address.

Daily life

North Road south of Lougheed Highway is the food street: H Mart and Hannam Supermarket among about 20 Korean restaurants and cafes. Burnaby 2050 lists the City of Lougheed master plan among the features of the Lougheed Town Centre.

Mundy Park, with Mundy Lake and Lost Lake, is about 4 kilometres east of Burquitlam Station, and Como Lake Park is about 2.3 kilometres east. (The Coquitlam Crunch trail runs a few kilometres east on the BC Hydro right-of-way through Eagle Ridge and Westwood Plateau, separately.) The Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area starts about 530 metres from the station, and the SFU campus edge is about 1.9 kilometres away.

Commute math

Two Millennium Line SkyTrain stations anchor the corridor: Burquitlam Station (Coquitlam, opened December 2, 2016 with the Evergreen Extension) and Lougheed Town Centre Station (Burnaby, a Millennium and Expo Line interchange). By the September 2026 TransLink schedule, Burquitlam to Lougheed Town Centre is 3 minutes and Burquitlam to Commercial-Broadway is 22 minutes. The Expo Line then reaches Waterfront in 9 minutes.

Route 143 runs between Burquitlam Station and the SFU transit exchange in about 11 minutes, every 12 minutes on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m.

Coquitlam Town Centre →

The other major Coquitlam TOD destination: Coquitlam Town Centre's three Evergreen-line stations and the WCE stop at Coquitlam Central and 42-ha (100-acre) Town Centre Park and the Pinetree Secondary catchment anchor a different decision tree than Burquitlam's denser two-station corridor and SFU-adjacent rental market.

Lower Mainland (regional) →

The broader regional context: Burquitlam sits at the Coquitlam / Burnaby boundary in the Millennium Line corridor. Pricing here correlates with the rest of the Evergreen Extension stations (Moody Centre, Inlet Centre) and Lougheed-side Burnaby town centres more than with Fraser Valley markets.

Frequently asked

A few of the questions that come up most often about Burquitlam.

Which side of North Road has lower property tax?
North Road is the municipal boundary: Burnaby on the west, Coquitlam on the east. In 2025 Burnaby's residential municipal rate was $1.556 per $1,000 of assessed value and Coquitlam's was $2.083, so the Burnaby side is lower. School, Metro Vancouver and TransLink charges are the same on both sides. Multiply each rate by the BC Assessment value of the specific address.
What is the SD #41 vs SD #43 catchment difference for high school?
As of October 2026, School District 41 is the Burnaby district and School District 43 is the Coquitlam district, so North Road is the district boundary as well as the city boundary. The school an address feeds is set by the district's locator, and the two districts differ in programs and out-of-catchment rules. Confirm it in the district's locator before paying a premium for a school.
Are Burquitlam pre-construction towers a good investor play?
It depends on holding period, leverage, exit strategy, and whether you have underwritten the BC Home Flipping Tax. The bull case: SkyTrain-anchored TOD with the City of Coquitlam Neighbourhood Plan done and Bill 47 layered on top. The bear case: the same density framework producing deep new supply, and presale assignors face the BC Home Flipping Tax (effective January 1, 2025) on dispositions inside 730 days. Run both sides.
How close is Burquitlam Station to SFU?
The campus edge is about 1.9 kilometres from the station in a straight line. Route 143 runs between Burquitlam Station and the SFU transit exchange in about 11 minutes, every 12 minutes on weekdays between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Route 145 does not stop at Burquitlam Station.
When did the Evergreen Extension open, and what followed?
The Evergreen Extension (Millennium Line) opened December 2, 2016, bringing Burquitlam, Moody Centre, Inlet Centre, Coquitlam Central, Lincoln, and Lafarge Lake-Douglas into service. The Burquitlam Lougheed Neighbourhood Plan (Coquitlam, adopted June 26, 2017) followed it. This page measures no price effect.
How does Bill 44 apply across the boundary?
Bill 44 (Housing Statutes Amendment Act, 2023) requires both Burnaby and Coquitlam to allow three or four units on most lots zoned for single detached or duplex use, and six within 400 metres of frequent transit on a lot over 280 square metres (3,014 square feet). Each city implements the framework through its own zoning bylaw with different operationalised rules. For Bill 47 transit-oriented parcels around Burquitlam Station and Lougheed Town Centre, the higher TOD density framework typically supersedes baseline SSMUH.
What tax exposure should a Burquitlam buyer model?
BC Property Transfer Tax applies on every purchase: 1% to $200K, 2% to $2M, 3% to $3M, and 5% above $3M. For most newer Burquitlam concrete condos the first two brackets dominate. Both Coquitlam and Burnaby are inside the Greater Vancouver Regional District, so for non-Canadian buyers where the federal foreign buyer ban does not prohibit the transaction, the BC Foreign Buyer Tax applies (additional 20% PTT). The BC Speculation and Vacancy Tax applies. The federal Underused Housing Tax no longer applies: it was eliminated for the 2025 calendar year and every year after, and no return is required for those years. Filings for 2022 through 2024 remain enforceable. The BC Home Flipping Tax (effective Jan 1, 2025) plus the federal anti-flipping rule capture short-hold investor strategies.
