Why choose to buy Real Estate in the Tri-Cities?

Well for starters the Tri Cities are the perfect blend of lush green space combined with city living.  The Tri Cities are located in the northeast sector of the Greater Vancouver Regional District. The scenic beauty of the mountains, rugged beaches and ocean fronts combined with all the amenities of major cities make the Tri Cities
an ideal place to live.

The Tri Cities are comprised of Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam and Port Moody. Each city offers a suburban lifestyle only 30 - 40 minutes from Downtown Vancouver.  There are several major city parks and a multitude of smaller neighbourhood parks located throughout each city including Belcarra Regional Park, Buntzen Lake and Rocky Point Park. The PoCo trail stretching along Coquitlam River and Pitt River is an ideal place to go jogging, running, hiking or biking - with the river providing an ideal backdrop to your activities. Port Moody is an ideal place for outdoor activities as well. The twenty-seven kilometres of protected waterfront, beaches, and a boat-launching ramp offer unlimited opportunities for boating, sailing, and swimming. Recreational facilities include the Poirier Street Recreation Centre, the Town Centre Stadium, the Aquatic Centre, and dozens of smaller facilities such as community centres, outdoor pools and spray parks.

In addition to the TransLink public bus system, the West Coast Express commuter rail provides fast access from Port Coquitlam, Coquitlam and Port Moody to downtown Vancouver during rush hours. The future Sky Train extension, set for completion summer 2016, will connect the Tri Cities to New Westminster, Surrey, Burnaby, and Vancouver.

Coquitlam real estate is poised for double-digit growth as the city continues to show local economic growth, strong infrastructure development and local economic incentives and development plans. Population trends in Coquitlam are indicative of changes in the region. A number of single and multi-family residential developments are underway in Port Moody. A newly planned Town Centre intended for high-rise development will connect the waterfront parks with new neighbourhoods on the north and south shores. Much of the recent development has been on the City's north shore "Heritage Mountain". Developments are subject to neighbourhood plans that include design guidelines and an emphasis on green space, pedestrian orientation, and high quality amenities. Redevelopment is also planned for the historic south shore area. Greater Vancouver is one of the most rapidly growing areas in Canada, and the Tri Cities are among the fastest growing municipalities in the region.

Condos and homes in the Tri Cities appeal to families with children, young professionals, working couples and Baby Boomers wanting to move to the city area to be closer to the culture and vibe of the downtown area. Being surrounded by wilderness, Coastal Mountains and the Fraser River makes retirement and vacation home investments appealing as well.
