It is a mix of detached homes and townhomes on mostly flat, small lots, largely left alone by developers, and known for affordability relative to the rest of Coquitlam. It sits next to Mundy Park and about five minutes from Coquitlam Centre, the SkyTrain and Highway 1.

Meadow Brook is a pocket, not a submarket — there is no Meadow Brook–specific benchmark, so the honest reference is the citywide Coquitlam detached number. What actually defines it is the mix (houses and townhomes), the flat lots, and a value tier that undercuts Town Centre and Westwood Plateau. Here is the current pulse, with each figure linking to its source.
