Wedged between the Coast Mountains and Burrard Inlet, Coquitlam offers a lived-in balance of nature, convenience, and community. This suburban city on Metro Vancouver’s northeast edge feels close to everything, but far enough that residents have some elbow room.
Life in Coquitlam flows at a steady pace. Locals spend weekends wandering trails around Lafarge Lake, browsing boutiques at Coquitlam Centre, or picnicking in Town Centre Park with mountain views all around. The Douglas College Coquitlam Campus enriches the area with academics.
Coquitlam continues to grow, but the vibe remains grounded. Each year, the Kaleidoscope Arts Festival lights up Town Centre Park with live music and local art, giving the whole city a reason to gather and celebrate its creative spirit.
