Overview

Westwood Plateau is a hillside of detached homes in Coquitlam, north of Coquitlam Town Centre. The City of Coquitlam draws it as a community profile that takes in the built-up plateau and the forest above it.

The Westwood Plateau Golf and Country Club at 3251 Plateau Boulevard, designed by Michael Hurdzan, is the main amenity. It was built on the site of the Westwood racing circuit, which ran from 1959 to 1990.

Schools on the plateau are Summit Middle School (1450 Parkway Boulevard) and Panorama Heights Elementary (1455 Johnson Street), with Bramblewood, Pinetree Way and Hampton Park elementary schools also inside its boundary. School District 43 sets which school an address feeds, so check its locator.

There is no SkyTrain on the plateau. The nearest station, Lafarge Lake-Douglas, is about a 26 minute walk from Panorama Heights Elementary and about 47 minutes from the golf club. TransLink's schedule data shows plateau stops for routes 183, 184, 185, 186, 187, 188 and 191.

In the City's zoning data, R-1 (Small-Scale Residential) covers about one in five acres of the built-up plateau and R-2 about one in seven. Coquitlam's 2025 amendment to Zoning Bylaw 3000 merged the old RS-1 and RS-3 zones into R-1 to comply with Bill 44. Private covenants on title are separate from zoning, so order the title before paying for redevelopment value.

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

1959 to 1990

Westwood Plateau was a race track before it was a neighbourhood

From 1959 to 1990 the land that is now Westwood Plateau held the Westwood racing circuit, Canada's first purpose-built permanent road course. It closed in 1990 to make way for housing and a golf course. Deer's Leap Place and Carousel Court are named for corners of the old track.

Coquitlam Crunch

The Crunch is the neighbourhood's outdoor stair-master

The City of Coquitlam describes the Crunch as a 2.2 km uphill climb along the BC Hydro right-of-way to the top of Westwood Plateau, a 242 m elevation gain, with two sets of stairs and 894 steps. It can be reached from Eagle Ridge Park, Guildford Way, Lansdowne Drive, David Avenue and Bramble Park.

Bramblewood Elementary (2875 Panorama Drive), Pinetree Way Elementary and Hampton Park Elementary also sit inside its boundary.

The club is at 3251 Plateau Boulevard and was designed by Michael Hurdzan. It has an 18-hole course and an executive course, on the site of the Westwood racing circuit that closed in 1990.
How does Bill 44 apply on Westwood Plateau?
Coquitlam's 2025 amendment to Zoning Bylaw 3000 merged the old RS-1 and RS-3 zones into R-1 to comply with Bill 44, which lets up to 4 homes on most lots. The City excludes lots inside transit-oriented areas within 800 m of a SkyTrain station. Private covenants on title are separate from zoning, so order the title and read it.
Is there SkyTrain access from Westwood Plateau?
No. The nearest station is Lafarge Lake-Douglas on the Millennium Line, opened in 2016. By the street network at 80 m a minute it is a 26 minute walk from Panorama Heights Elementary and 27 minutes from the lower end of the Crunch. TransLink lists routes 183, 186, 188 and 191 as connecting at the station.
What tax exposure should a Westwood Plateau 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 Westwood Plateau detached purchases the third bracket is engaged. For non-Canadian buyers where the federal foreign buyer ban does not prohibit the transaction, the BC Foreign Buyer 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.
