Westwood Summit is the small, higher-elevation residential pocket on the southwest slope of Eagle Mountain — sitting between David Avenue and the wider Westwood Plateau master-planned community. It’s the executive-tier, view-and-larger-lot part of the plateau: predominantly detached homes plus some townhomes, on the plateau trail network, minutes from the golf club and the village plaza. This is the complete guide to what Westwood Summit actually is in 2026: the housing stock, the price tier, the schools, and the honest fit versus Burke Mountain and Coquitlam Town Centre. Written by a 47+ year Coquitlam resident who sells inside one of Royal LePage’s Top 2% Team nationwide, 2023–2025.
5.0 across 36+ Google reviews Top 1% Team — GVR, 2023–2025 47+ years in the Tri-CitiesWestwood Summit trades on a different curve than newer Coquitlam pockets: larger view-oriented lots, older and more established product, and a tighter buyer pool that values the catchment and plateau identity. Because it’s a small pocket within Westwood Plateau, sales are thin: GVR’s REALTOR® Report lists a Westwood Summit row, but it had no reportable sales in September 2026 and shows no benchmark value — so the only price figure below is the citywide Coquitlam detached number, clearly labelled, with the honest note that plateau view lots and executive homes commonly trade above it.
September 2026 GVR benchmark, -6.6% YoY · GVR’s Westwood Summit row showed no reportable sales this month, so this citywide number is the honest reference.

Source: Greater Vancouver REALTORS® (GVR) monthly HPI, Coquitlam detached, September 2026 ($1,584,400, -6.6% YoY). Westwood Summit is a pocket within Westwood Plateau; GVR’s REALTOR® Report lists a Westwood Summit row, but it had no reportable sales in September 2026 (no benchmark value shown), so the citywide figure and the Westwood Plateau detached benchmark ($1,733,500) are the references; plateau view lots and executive homes commonly trade above the citywide figure.

Westwood is not a try-everything neighbourhood. It is a specific product for specific buyers — the established, larger-lot, catchment-certain end of Coquitlam. If your situation matches one of these four, the rest of this page is the playbook. If it doesn’t, that’s useful information too — Burke Mountain, Heritage Mountain or Coquitlam Town Centre may fit you better.
Choosing the home they will live in for fifteen to twenty years. Comes for the larger lot, the catchment certainty, the golf-and-view narrative, and the resale stability of established executive product — and is willing to pay a premium for it. Less driven by the short-term cycle, more focused on getting the long decision right. This is Westwood’s most consistent buyer.
Wants a defining home rather than a generic one — a higher, David-Avenue-side street where the elevation opens up mountain, valley or Inlet outlooks. Values the permanence of a view lot on the upper slope. Comfortable in the upper price band, where the larger view-oriented lots and executive homes trade above the citywide detached figure.
A school-first buyer orienting around the plateau’s SD43 catchment ladder — Hampton Park Elementary at K–5, Summit Middle at grades 6–8, and Pinetree Secondary or Heritage Woods Secondary at grades 9–12, depending on the address. Often walking distance to a plateau elementary. For this family the catchment is the magnet, and the address is chosen around it.
Stepping up within the Plateau, or buying into the Plateau catchment through one of the upper-tier strata communities — Dayanee Springs, Whitetail Lane, Deercrest Estates and the like — without committing to detached pricing. Wants the catchment and the neighbourhood identity first, with room to move up to detached later.
Westwood Summit is the executive-tier, view-and-larger-lot part of the Westwood Plateau community — a small, higher-elevation residential pocket on the southwest slope of Eagle Mountain, sitting between David Avenue and the wider plateau.
The stock is predominantly larger-lot, view-oriented detached homes plus some townhomes, at an executive/family tier. Many properties carry mountain or valley outlooks that the flatter, lower parts of Coquitlam simply can’t offer — the appeal up here is the elevation, the space and the view, on larger lots than newer Coquitlam pockets. You buy for the upper slope, then tap the plateau’s built-in amenities from it.
The identity is that amenity base. The Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club (recently rebranded GreenTee) anchors the master-planned community, and Westwood Summit sits on the plateau’s hiking and biking trail network just above the course — you tap the golf, trails and village plaza from the upper slope rather than backing onto the fairways.
Townhomes are the other meaningful product — 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. Supply is limited. Westwood Summit is a long-stay, view-oriented decision more than a move-up entry point — buyers who want newer construction typically look at Burke Mountain instead.
Westwood Summit is overwhelmingly executive detached, with a secondary supply of upper-tier townhomes. Below is the September 2026 reality — the honest working bands harvested from the current Westwood Summit market read (not a separate MLS® HPI), what each band gets you, and which buyer it tends to suit.
| Tier | Price band (September 2026) | What it typically buys | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entry townhome | Near $1,037,100 benchmark | 3-bed family townhome over three levels, attached double garage, in a named Plateau strata community. | Townhome-to-detached upgraders buying into the Plateau catchment. |
| Premium townhome | Above the townhome benchmark | Larger or upgraded phases — the premium end of the limited Plateau townhome supply. | Families wanting the catchment without detached pricing. |
| Entry detached | Near $1,733,500 benchmark | Two-storey-with-basement executive detached on a larger, view-oriented upper-slope lot — the Westwood Summit mainstay. | Long-stay families stepping into executive detached. |
| Mid detached | Above the detached benchmark | Larger homes and lots, ~3,800–4,500 sq ft, often finished basements and stronger street positions. | Established families, school-driven and lot-driven buyers. |
| Upper detached / luxury | $2.5M+ | The largest homes on premium upper-slope streets, with a view-and-elevation premium baked into the top band. | Forever-home buyers, view-driven luxury buyers. |
The bands above are anchored to GVR’s September 2026 Westwood Plateau benchmarks — not a Westwood-Summit-specific figure, since GVR’s Westwood Summit row had no reportable sales. To see what’s live at your number right now, browse Westwood Plateau homes for sale or the wider Coquitlam luxury market ($2M+).
Westwood looks uniform from the outside. Once you tour, it breaks into four distinct zones — each with its own pricing band, view profile, and school-walk reality. Picking the zone before the home saves families months of false starts.
Streets closest to the plateau’s trail network and the Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club (recently rebranded GreenTee) — Westwood Summit sits just above the course rather than on its fairways. Best for buyers who want the plateau’s golf-and-trail amenities minutes from the door.
Higher-elevation streets with downtown Vancouver, mountain, or Inlet exposures — the most distinctive Westwood product, and the scarcest. Lots can be steep, but the views compensate. Best for buyers who want a defining home rather than a generic one.
Streets closer to Hampton Park and Bramblewood Elementary, on Paddock Drive and the upper Plateau cul-de-sacs. Strong young-family demand and walkable-to-school for many addresses. Best for families with kids in the elementary grades, where the catchment-walk equation drives premium.
The main spine of the neighbourhood. Slightly busier streets, but the best daily-driving access to Coquitlam Centre, Lougheed Highway, and the Evergreen / Millennium SkyTrain. Best for commuters who don’t want to live at the back of the Plateau.

Four things every Westwood buyer asks about in the first week. The honest answers below — with the full catchment ladder just underneath.
Westwood Summit is part of SD43 (Coquitlam). Plateau addresses commonly feed Hampton Park Elementary at K–5, Summit Middle at grades 6–8, and Pinetree Secondary or Heritage Woods Secondary at grades 9–12, depending on the address. Catchment lines shift street-by-street; always verify a specific address with the SD43 locator.
The Westwood Plateau trail network is on the doorstep, linking Plateau streets up toward Eagle Mountain and down the hill to Lafarge Lake and Town Centre Park. The Coquitlam Crunch stair-climb is a short drive. Elevation and trails are Westwood’s quiet daily-life advantage — hikes and viewpoints minutes from the front door.
The closest everyday node sits right on the Plateau: the Westwood Plateau Village plaza, with an IGA food market, a BC liquor store, Starbucks, and sushi and pizza spots for the daily run. Dining at the golf clubhouse — banquet facilities and the “Jess’ Sky” restaurant — rounds out the in-neighbourhood options.
Westwood is car-oriented for daily life, but the useful stuff is close. Coquitlam Centre — the region’s major mall — is roughly 5–7 minutes down the hill, with the Evergreen / Millennium SkyTrain and Lafarge Lake at Town Centre. Highway and Lougheed access run through Coquitlam Centre. The trade-off versus a walkable-urban pocket is drive-time for the larger lot and established streetscape.
The K–12 catchment ladder
Westwood Summit sits in SD43 Coquitlam’s Westwood Plateau catchments. A common ladder runs Hampton Park Elementary → Summit Middle → Pinetree Secondary or Heritage Woods Secondary, depending on the address; the wider plateau also draws on Eagle Ridge, Bramblewood, Walton (the SD43 Mandarin Bilingual hub), Panorama Heights and Nestor elementaries and Scott Creek Middle. Catchment lines shift street-by-street, so always confirm a specific address with the SD43 locator before relying on it.

*Westwood Summit is a pocket within Westwood Plateau; GVR’s REALTOR® Report lists a Westwood Summit row, but it had no reportable sales in September 2026, so its column shows the Westwood Plateau detached benchmark (citywide Coquitlam detached HPI: $1,584,400); Burke Mountain and Heritage Mountain are shown from their respective September 2026 neighbourhood benchmarks. Side-by-side deep dives: Burke vs Westwood Plateau · Westwood vs Heritage Mountain. If you are stuck between two of these three, those pages are where I would start.
Westwood is a strong neighbourhood. That does not make it the right neighbourhood for every buyer. Reading these two columns honestly saves time, stress, and expensive second-guessing.
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. Westwood Summit rewards street-level knowledge: a $200K resale difference between two upper-slope streets that look identical from the curb, a view-corridor that locks in or doesn’t, a catchment line running through a single cul-de-sac. That’s the read a fly-in agent can’t copy.

“One of the sales was my Mom’s home. She is 97 and so this was a very emotional issue to be leaving her beloved home of so many years… Craig was extremely patient in explaining the market and was very sensitive to her concerns. We can’t thank him enough for his empathy and understanding in working with an elderly person through a difficult time in a very caring manor!”Ann English

Quick answer
What is Westwood Summit, and who is it for?
Westwood Summit is a small, quiet, upper-elevation pocket on the southwest slope of Eagle Mountain — the higher, David-Avenue-side portion of Coquitlam’s Westwood Plateau master-planned community. It’s predominantly larger-lot, view-oriented detached homes plus some townhomes at an executive/family tier, with the plateau’s trail network, golf club and village plaza minutes away and the calm of the upper slope. Schools are SD43: plateau addresses commonly feed Hampton Park Elementary, Summit Middle and Pinetree Secondary or Heritage Woods Secondary, depending on the address. GVR’s REALTOR® Report lists a Westwood Summit row, but it had no reportable sales in September 2026 (no benchmark value shown), so the closest reference is the citywide Coquitlam detached HPI of $1,584,400 (September 2026 GVR); larger view-oriented lots and executive homes in the plateau tier commonly trade above that citywide figure. It suits executive and move-up families who want a quiet upper-slope setting, larger view-oriented lots, and the plateau’s trail, golf and plaza amenities. Written by Craig Johnston, REALTOR® V99960 and 47+ year Coquitlam resident.
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 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).
