Craig Johnston Personal Real Estate Corporation · Brokerage: Royal LePage Elite West
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 (a bus ride up Burnaby Mountain), and an active transit-oriented development plan.
Craig tracks Burquitlam tightly because its inventory is changing quickly. Many new towers have completed in recent years and more are under construction. The station also supports steady rental demand.

"Burquitlam is the value station — closest to downtown, buses to SFU, newest inventory. The risk is you're buying into a market that still has supply coming. The opportunity is that pricing can compare well with Lincoln and Coquitlam Central, so check recent sales per square foot."
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.
Often Burquitlam, for equivalent product — but it varies by building, so compare recent sales per square foot before deciding. The trade-off is ongoing construction and a shorter resale track record on most towers.
It can be — buses connect the area with SFU on Burnaby Mountain (check TransLink for the current route and frequency), and that access is one reason the area draws student and staff renters.
Burquitlam is the closest Tri-Cities SkyTrain station to downtown, one stop from Lougheed Town Centre, with one transfer to reach Waterfront. Check the TransLink Trip Planner for current travel times.
Several towers are under construction or in pre-sale, and more are planned along the Clarke-Foster corridor. The City of Coquitlam's development application map shows the current list.
It can be — SFU plus the broader SkyTrain commuter pool support rental demand. Run the yield on the specific unit: rent, strata fees and property tax against the price. Watch carefully for saturation as new completions enter the market.

“Craig worked with my wife and me for over 3 years to find the perfect home. He was endlessly patient with us through the process. Eventually, we found our perfect home and he moved fast to execute on our behalf. He negotiated fairly and thoroughly with the sellers and was our advocate all throughout our first home purchase.”David Catterall
“Craig kept me informed of the local market for a couple of years before I asked him to handle my Coquitlam sale. He laid out the strategy upfront, the listing generated a lot of interest, and we had an acceptable offer in under a month. I was stressed going in — Craig helped me overcome a lot of my anxiety. I’ve already introduced him to my sister, who plans to sell soon.”Fj Young
“Craig was there with us everyday. Guiding us to our next step we were kept informed daily sometimes multiple times a day as to what was happening… Our home sold in only 6 days with multiple offers.”Gerry & Aline Howitson
