Overview
Pitt Meadows is a separate municipality within Metro Vancouver. The Pitt River and Port Coquitlam bound it on the west, the Fraser River on the south and Maple Ridge on the east, and Pitt Lake reaches its north. Most of the city is farmland: the Official Community Plan says 78% of the land is in the Agricultural Land Reserve.
The housing is concentrated in the south, in the Town Centre around Harris Road, which the plan defines as running from Lougheed Highway to 119 Avenue. City Hall is at 12007 Harris Road and the West Coast Express station at 12280 Harris Road. The plan says growth is generally restricted to the highland part of the city, because most of the rest is farmland reserve and floodplain.
For schools, Pitt Meadows Secondary (19438 116B Avenue) is the city's one secondary school. School District 42's 2019 elementary map gives Highland Park Elementary the farmland to the west and north, and Pitt Meadows, Davie Jones and Edith McDermott Elementary the built-up south. SD #42 (Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows) also serves Maple Ridge. Check an address on the district's school locator.
Pitt Meadows Regional Airport is on the western side of the city. The Pitt Meadows Airport Society, a not-for-profit, owns and operates it. Noise contours were not checked here, so look up the specific address.
By transit, the West Coast Express runs five trains to Waterfront Station on weekday mornings and five back in the afternoon and evening. The ride from Pitt Meadows takes about 46 minutes. There is no midday, evening or weekend train.
Pitt Lake, the Pitt Polder farmland and Grant Narrows Regional Park (Metro Vancouver) are at the northern end of the city.
Bill 44 applies inside the urban containment boundary: the City adopted bylaws allowing three or four units on most single-family and duplex lots, and up to six within 400 metres of a frequent transit bus stop. Farmland reserve parcels stay under the Agricultural Land Commission Act, 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 (arrived 1950) and Pitt Polder Ltd. extended the earliest hand-built 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.

Pitt Meadows Regional Airport logged 195,344 movements in 2024
Canada's 9th-busiest airport and BC's 3rd; 11 flight-training units run 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 train runs straight to Waterfront in under an hour, but service is peak-only, weekdays only. Miss the last afternoon train and you're driving back over the Pitt River Bridge.

First Saturday of June, a set fixture since 1952, paused only for the 2020 pandemic
The 2026 edition was billed as 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 that became the Strawberry Festival in 1938 before settling into its June form in 1952.
