Westwood Plateau · Real estate connection
Westwood Plateau buyers in the on-course homes have direct golf-course frontage, a feature many buyers look for. Even non-golfing buyers value the open green space behind their lots — though a private course is not guaranteed to stay a course forever, so check zoning and title. The clubhouse restaurant patio has wide views.

Comparison
Two $3M+ Tri-Cities luxury choices compared honestly.
Westwood Plateau was planned as a hillside community around a golf course, and that origin still shapes what it is like to own there. Here is the present-day relevance.
Layout
The golf-course masterplan is why the Plateau has winding streets, green corridors and generous setbacks rather than a flat grid. That deliberate design gives the area its distinctive feel.
Setting
Building around a course left the neighbourhood with mature landscaping, green outlooks and elevation views that flatter, denser areas simply cannot match.
Homes
The Plateau spans executive detached homes, larger townhomes and gated strata enclaves, so a single neighbourhood name covers a wide range of prices and home types.
Ownership
Many Plateau communities are strata or bare-land strata. Reading the fees, bylaws and depreciation reports is part of buying here well, not an afterthought.
Lifestyle
The design favours privacy, quiet and a settled, upscale character — a strong draw for buyers who value that over walk-to-everything convenience.
Trade-off
The grade and the drive up are real considerations, especially in winter. Buyers who weigh them honestly rarely regret the Plateau; those who ignore them sometimes do.
So the Plateau’s golf-course history is not just backstory — it is the reason the neighbourhood looks and functions the way it does today, with the greenery, the views, the privacy and the strata structure that define ownership there. For the right buyer, that planned, upscale, green character is precisely the appeal.
If the Plateau is on your list, it pays to test the practical side before you commit: drive the grade on a wet evening, not just a sunny afternoon, and read the strata documents closely on any home you are serious about. The setting and the views are the enduring draw; the hillside logistics and the strata details are simply the homework that lets you enjoy them without surprises.

“Craig Johnston recently sold my townhouse in West Vancouver in less than 6 days for over asking price!!!!! Craig is one of the most prolific and highly motivated realtors I have seen in the Realty business, and I have extensive experience buying and selling properties of all sorts.”Riverplate Equities
“We had a fantastic experience working with Craig on the purchase of our first home in Coquitlam. He was incredibly friendly and responsive, always quick to answer our messages and questions. Throughout the process, he took the time to walk us through each step so my partner and I always knew exactly what was going on and what to expect next. Craig also gave us honest, helpful opinions on properties we were considering, which really helped guide us toward a place we love. On top of that, he connected us with a great broker and lawyer, making the whole process feel seamless. We're so happy in our new home and couldn't have done it without him. Highly recommend Craig to anyone buying a home!”Rohit & Georgie
