Port Coquitlam, or “PoCo”, is a city of about 61,500 people where the Coquitlam and Pitt rivers meet the Fraser, on the east side of the Tri-Cities. In September 2026 the benchmark price of a typical Port Coquitlam home was $835,500, down 8.2% from a year earlier and the lowest of the three Tri-Cities (Greater Vancouver REALTORS®). I’m David Reimers, a Tri-Cities REALTOR® since 2004, and I help buyers and sellers in every Port Coquitlam neighbourhood.

Buying a Home in Port Coquitlam

• Plan your commute. With no SkyTrain in PoCo, check drive times, bus routes and the West Coast Express schedule from the homes you like.
• Look at lot and suite potential. Many established neighbourhoods have larger lots and homes with suites; confirm what is legal with the City before you rely on rental income.
• Read the strata documents. For condos and townhouses, review the depreciation report, recent minutes and any planned levies before you write an offer.
• Check flood information near the rivers. For homes close to the Fraser, Pitt or Coquitlam rivers, ask about flood-plain information and insurance.
