Westwood Summit is a small, quiet upper-elevation pocket on the southwest slope of Eagle Mountain in Coquitlam, BC — sitting between David Avenue and the wider Westwood Plateau master-planned community, of which it forms the higher, David-Avenue-side portion. The stock is predominantly larger-lot, view-oriented detached homes plus some townhomes at an executive/family tier. Westwood Summit has no separately published benchmark, so the citywide Coquitlam detached HPI of $1,649,000 (June 2026 GVR) is the closest official reference; plateau view lots and larger executive homes commonly trade above that citywide figure.
Westwood Summit doesn't publish its own MLS® benchmark — it's a pocket within the wider Westwood Plateau — so the most honest headline reference is the citywide Coquitlam detached number, clearly labelled as such. What actually defines Westwood Summit isn't a single stat; it's the combination: upper-slope elevation, larger view-oriented lots, and full plateau amenities at an executive tier. Here's the current pulse, with every figure linking to its source.
Westwood Summit is the calm, higher-elevation edge of the Westwood Plateau story — the part where the road keeps climbing and the lots open up to mountain and valley views.
It's a small, quiet residential pocket on the southwest slope of Eagle Mountain, sitting between David Avenue and the wider Westwood Plateau. It is part of the same master-planned community — it shares the plateau's trail network, golf club and village plaza — but it's the specific higher-slope, David-Avenue-side portion rather than the whole hillside. The stock is predominantly detached homes plus some townhomes: an executive/family tier, with many properties carrying larger lots and outlooks that the flatter, lower parts of Coquitlam simply can't offer.
The appeal is a specific one. You buy up here for the elevation, the space, and the outlook, while still tapping the plateau's built-in amenities: hiking and biking minutes from the door, the Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club (recently rebranded GreenTee), the Westwood Plateau Village plaza for the everyday run, and Coquitlam Centre roughly 5–10 minutes down the hill. For the buyer who wants a settled, view-oriented plateau home rather than a brand-new build or a walkable-urban condo, that combination is the whole point.
Who it's not for: buyers who want a flat, walkable-urban, transit-at-the-door lifestyle (Coquitlam Town Centre), buyers who only want newer-construction inventory (Burke Mountain), or value buyers who'd rather be in an established central-Coquitlam pocket below the plateau premium (Ranch Park or Eagle Ridge). Westwood Summit is upper-slope, view-and-space plateau living, first and foremost.
Westwood Summit is predominantly a detached-home pocket, with some townhome supply woven in — the executive/family tier of the Westwood Plateau community. Here's the breakdown by category and the right page to keep going. (Westwood Summit has no separate published benchmark; the citywide Coquitlam detached HPI is the reference, and plateau view lots commonly trade above it.)
The Westwood Summit mainstay — larger-lot, view-oriented detached homes on the upper slope of the plateau. An executive/family tier; many properties carry mountain or valley outlooks. Reference point is the citywide Coquitlam detached HPI ($1,649,000, June 2026 GVR); plateau view lots commonly sit above it.
Browse Coquitlam detachedWestwood Summit and the surrounding plateau include some townhome supply — a lower-maintenance way into the upper slope for downsizers and move-up buyers who want the location, trails and amenities without the full detached carry.
Browse Westwood Plateau listingsThe two most-asked Westwood Summit questions are about schools and green space. The short version: it's an SD43 catchment on the Westwood Plateau, and you're on the plateau's hiking-and-biking trail network with the golf club and Coquitlam Crunch nearby. Here's the detail.
Westwood Summit is part of School District 43 (Coquitlam). Plateau addresses commonly feed Hampton Park Elementary at K–5, Summit Middle at grades 6–8, and Pinetree Secondary at grades 9–12, with Gleneagle Secondary an alternate. Always verify a specific street with the SD43 locator.
The Westwood Plateau trail network is on the doorstep; the Coquitlam Crunch and Eagle Mountain are close; and Town Centre Park with Lafarge Lake is a short drive down the hill.

Hikes & trails guideCoquitlam's youth sports run through city-wide associations rather than by neighbourhood, so a Westwood Summit family taps the same clubs the rest of Coquitlam does — with the plateau's own golf club right at home. The city's competitive fields and arenas sit down the hill at Town Centre Park and the Poirier Sport & Leisure Complex. Here's the honest, association-by-association map.

The venues those associations and the plateau actually use — closest first.
Westwood Summit is car-oriented for daily life by design — it's an upper-slope pocket — but the everyday run is built into the plateau. The Westwood Plateau Village plaza covers the essentials on the hill, and Coquitlam Centre — the region's major mall — is roughly 5–10 minutes down for anything bigger.
The plateau's own neighbourhood plaza — the closest everyday node, right on the hill.
Down the hill, Coquitlam Town Centre covers the major mall, dining and services — everything the plateau plaza doesn't.
Every neighbourhood is a trade. Westwood Summit's trade is elevation, space and views (with plateau amenities) over flat, walkable, transit-at-the-door convenience. Here's the honest read on who wins with that trade and who should look elsewhere.
The questions buyers and sellers ask first about Westwood Summit — answered straight, from 47+ years of knowing Coquitlam and the Westwood Plateau.
Westwood Summit is an upper-elevation pocket on the southwest slope of Eagle Mountain, sitting between David Avenue and the wider Westwood Plateau. It's part of the Westwood Plateau master-planned community — the specific higher-slope, David-Avenue-side portion rather than the whole plateau.
Westwood Summit is a specific higher-slope pocket within the larger Westwood Plateau master-planned community, on the David Avenue side. Westwood Plateau is the wider neighbourhood spanning the whole Eagle Mountain hillside, with its golf course, trail network and village plaza. Westwood Summit shares that same amenity base — plateau trails, the golf club and the village plaza — while sitting toward the upper, quieter edge with larger, more view-oriented lots.
Westwood Summit is predominantly larger-lot, view-oriented detached homes plus some townhomes at an executive/family tier. It has no separately published benchmark, so the citywide Coquitlam detached HPI ($1,649,000, June 2026 GVR) is the closest official reference; plateau view lots and larger executive homes commonly trade above that citywide number. See the current citywide detached picture at /coquitlam-detached/.
SD43 Coquitlam. Plateau addresses commonly feed Hampton Park Elementary at K–5, Summit Middle at grades 6–8, and Pinetree Secondary at grades 9–12, with Gleneagle Secondary as an alternate secondary for parts of the plateau. Catchment lines shift street-by-street, so always verify a specific address with the SD43 school locator. Full district view at Coquitlam schools.
Westwood Summit sits on the Westwood Plateau hiking and biking trail network, minutes from the Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club (recently rebranded GreenTee) and the Westwood Plateau Village plaza (IGA, Starbucks, liquor, sushi and pizza). The Coquitlam Crunch, Eagle Mountain and — down the hill — Town Centre Park and Lafarge Lake are all close, and Coquitlam Centre is roughly 5–10 minutes down the hill.
Yes — for executive and move-up families who want a quiet upper-slope setting, larger lots, mountain and valley views, and the plateau's trail, golf and plaza amenities. It's less ideal if you want a flat, walkable-urban lifestyle or transit at the door (Coquitlam Town Centre), newer-construction-only inventory (Burke Mountain), or established value below the plateau premium (Ranch Park).
I'm not a Westwood Summit resident — and I won't pretend to be. What I am is a 47+ year Coquitlam local who has watched the Westwood Plateau build out and trade through cycle after cycle. I know why the upper-slope pockets price the way they do relative to the rest of the plateau and to central Coquitlam, how the plateau's SD43 catchments shape family demand, and what a view lot on the David-Avenue side is actually worth once you factor elevation, outlook and the plateau's amenity base. That's the read a fly-in agent can't copy.
