Burquitlam Station anchors the southwest corner of Coquitlam and sits at the intersection of three forces that shape its real-estate story: the SkyTrain Evergreen line (2016), the Simon Fraser University commuter pipeline (15 min via bus up Burnaby Mountain), and one of the fastest-densifying transit-oriented development plans in Metro Vancouver.
Craig tracks Burquitlam tightly because the inventory shift here is the most dynamic in the Tri-Cities. Over a dozen new towers have completed since 2018 and several more are mid-build. The station also feeds one of the strongest investor rental segments outside downtown Vancouver.
Every number below is platform-to-platform, drawn from TransLink's published schedules as of April 2026 — not the optimistic estimates you'll see on real-estate listings.
The 5-minute walkshed captures Burquitlam's rapidly-densifying Clarke + Foster corridor — dozens of recent and in-progress towers. The 10-minute walkshed stretches up Burquitlam Plaza, Como Lake Road, and includes Vancouver Golf Club's treeline to the east.
Price bands below reflect current Tri-Cities market data as of April 2026. Call for live listings — the market moves weekly at this station.
| Type | Price range | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| Concrete high-rise condos | $520K–$980K | 1-bed (520–680 sqft) $520K–$650K; 2-bed (800–1,050 sqft) $750K–$980K. Highest new-build density of any Tri-Cities station. |
| Townhomes (10-min walk) | $1.05M–$1.4M | Limited — mostly Como Lake Road and Whiting Way rows built 2010–2018. |
| Detached (15-min walk) | $1.75M–$2.6M | Burquitlam's older single-family streets plus the Whiting / Como Lake belt. Tear-down-and-rebuild activity is ongoing. |
"Burquitlam is the value station — 36 minutes to downtown, SFU bus loop, newest inventory. The risk is you're buying into a market that still has supply coming. The opportunity is the price discount vs. Lincoln and Coquitlam Central is real."
If you're serious about buying or selling inside this walkshed, a 20-minute strategy call puts the current inventory, the specific building dynamics, and the price you should actually be paying on the table.
Burquitlam, by 5–10% per sqft vs. Lincoln and Coquitlam Central for equivalent product. The trade-off is ongoing construction and a shorter resale track record on most towers.
Yes — the 145 bus up Burnaby Mountain runs every 7 minutes peak and takes about 15 minutes door-to-door to SFU. Many SFU staff and graduate students rent or own here specifically for that reason.
36 minutes Burquitlam platform to Waterfront Station. Shortest from any Tri-Cities station because it's the first stop after the Production Way interchange.
At least 8 towers are either under construction or in pre-sale as of April 2026. Total planned units along the Clarke-Foster corridor exceeds 4,000 over the next 5 years.
Historically yes — SFU plus the broader SkyTrain commuter pool. Gross yields on well-bought 1-beds have run 4.0–4.5%. Watch carefully for saturation as new completions enter the market.
