Pitt Meadows is a separate municipality within Metro Vancouver — a City of ~20,000 residents covering ~85 km², bounded by the Pitt River + Coquitlam (west), the Fraser River (south), Maple Ridge (east), and the Pitt Lake + Pitt Polder ALR farmland + Golden Ears Provincial Park (north). Despite its small population, Pitt Meadows covers substantial land area — most of the City is Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR) farmland in the Pitt Polder + Pitt Meadows agricultural lowlands.
The residential + commercial core sits in the southern band along the Lougheed Highway corridor, anchored by Pitt Meadows Plaza, the Pitt Meadows City Hall + Civic Centre, and the West Coast Express Pitt Meadows Station + Maple Meadows Station (the latter at the Pitt Meadows / Maple Ridge boundary). Inventory in the residential core is predominantly post-1990 detached + townhouse on conventional 40–60 foot lots, with a meaningful share of newer mid-rise condo + low-rise apartment along the Lougheed Highway corridor.
For schools, most Pitt Meadows addresses feed Pitt Meadows Secondary (19438 116B Avenue) for grades 8–12. Elementary feeders include Pitt Meadows Elementary, Highland Park Elementary, and Edith McDermott Elementary depending on the specific address. SD #42 (Maple Ridge–Pitt Meadows) operates French Immersion as an application stream — Pitt Meadows is in the same school district as Maple Ridge.
The Pitt Meadows Regional Airport (CYPK) at the western edge is one of Metro Vancouver's two regional general-aviation airports (the other being Boundary Bay in Delta) — a CARS Class C airport with no scheduled commercial service but substantial flight-training, charter, and corporate aviation activity. Noise contour considerations apply to certain residential addresses near the airport approach paths; verify with the airport authority + Pitt Meadows Planning.
By transit, the West Coast Express Pitt Meadows Station provides 5 weekday-peak westbound trips to Waterfront Station + 5 eastbound returning. The TransLink 701 bus connects Pitt Meadows + Maple Ridge to Coquitlam Central Station (Evergreen Extension / Millennium Line) for all-day SkyTrain access. By car, downtown Vancouver is 50–75 minutes via Lougheed Highway + the Pitt River Bridge + Highway 7; Coquitlam Central + Lougheed Town Centre are 15–25 minutes west via Lougheed Highway.
The Pitt Polder + Pitt Lake at the northern edge are major Lower Mainland natural features — Pitt Lake is one of the world's largest tidal freshwater lakes, with the Pitt Polder ALR farmland + the Grant Narrows Regional Park (Metro Vancouver) anchoring the outdoor amenity. The Pitt River Greenway + the Trans-Canada Trail run through the southern band along the Fraser + Pitt River edges.
Bill 44 SSMUH applies on RS residential lots — Pitt Meadows adopted compliant zoning bylaws ahead of the June 30, 2024 provincial deadline. ALR parcels are governed by the Agricultural Land Commission Act rules, which Bill 44 does not override.
What you get living here
The things that don't show up in a listing — the standing rituals and quiet anchors that make Pitt Meadows feel like a place rather than a postal code.
Sheridan Hill and Pitt Lake are origin sites, not landmarks
Katzie oral tradition places the Ancestor θéləctən at Pitt Lake (sq̓ə́yc̓əyaʔɬ x̌acaʔ, "the lake of the Katzie") and the chief Swaneset at Sheridan Hill. Reconciliation language is now embedded in the City's own civic identity.

The whole valley floor is kept dry by pumps, not luck
After the 1948 Fraser Flood breached the U-shaped dyke and put 7,000 acres underwater, Dutch immigrant Jan Blom and Pitt Polder Ltd. extended the Chinese-railway-era dykes through the 1950s; the modern system was rebuilt in 1957–58. "Polder" is Dutch for reclaimed land — and locals use the word.

Fraser tides physically reverse the river twice a day
A rare reverse delta forms where flooding tides dam the Pitt River back into the lake. The marsh supports 200+ bird species; it's why birders, not boaters, dominate the south shore.

Pitt Meadows is BC's blueberry concentration
Pitt Meadows contributes ~20% of provincial blueberry production and ranks 6th among BC municipalities for total farm output. Most of the city sits inside the ALR — farmland isn't "preserved," it's the default land use.
City of Pitt Meadows — Agriculture
Pitt Meadows Regional Airport logged 195,344 movements in 2024
Among Canada's busiest GA airports — nine flight schools train circuits overhead daily. Newcomers from Vancouver are routinely surprised. Long-time residents aren't.

The West Coast Express defines the weekday rhythm — five trains in, five trains out
From Pitt Meadows Station the ride to Waterfront is ~47 minutes, but service is peak-only, weekdays only. Miss the 6:20 pm and you're driving back over the Pitt River Bridge.
TransLink — West Coast Express
First Saturday, unbroken since 1952 (excepting 1948 flood, 2020 pandemic)
The 2026 edition was the 85th annual; 10,000–15,000 attend at Pitt Meadows Athletic Park. It is the city's civic identity event, descended from a 1937 May Day / Strawberry Carnival.
