Port Coquitlam Living: Is It for Me?
Area overview
Port Coquitlam, or “PoCo” as locals call it, is a charming city nestled in BC’s Lower Mainland. It’s surrounded by rivers and mountains, giving you plenty of chances to enjoy nature. The city is pretty flat in the center, with some hilly areas around the edges.
There’s lots to do in PoCo. Grab your bike and hit the Traboulay PoCo Trail, a 25-km path that circles the entire city. Or head to Gates Park for a picnic or to play sports. Downtown PoCo has some cool shops and restaurants, and there’s a big recreation complex if you’re into fitness.
Getting around is easy. PoCo has its own West Coast Express station, which can get you to downtown Vancouver in about 50 minutes. There are also buses that connect to the SkyTrain in Coquitlam. If you’re driving, it’s about a 40-minute trip to Vancouver, depending on traffic.
The city has all the amenities you need, from grocery stores and malls to libraries and community centers. It’s a bit quieter than Vancouver, but still close enough to enjoy big city perks. Plus, you’re just a short drive from other fun spots like Coquitlam Centre mall or Burnaby Mountain.
Port Coquitlam offers the best of both worlds: a tight-knit community with easy access to nature, while still being close enough to Vancouver for work and city life.

What does sales to active listings ratio mean?
The sales-to-active listings ratio measures supply and demand by comparing the total supply of homes for sale to sales during the month.
The terms buyers’ markets, sellers’ markets, and balanced markets describe the state of the real estate market in terms of the pressure it puts on home prices. A buyers’ market occurs when the sales-to-active listings ratio falls below 12%, indicating that more homes are available than buyers are looking for. On the other hand, a sellers’ market occurs when this ratio exceeds 20% for a sustained period, indicating more buyers than homes available. Finally, a balanced market occurs when the ratio falls between these two values, indicating that the market is relatively stable and has a roughly equal number of homes and buyers.
