What Burke Mountain is actually like

Nearly everything here is a townhouse in a newer complex. The area was planned and built out as a whole rather than infilled, so the streets, the schools, and the housing all arrived together.

It is genuinely a mountain. The grade is real, the views from the upper streets are real, and so is the winter driving. Check the slope at the specific address.

Homes are larger and price per square foot is lower than Coquitlam West, the other big Coquitlam market. The difference between the two is close to a clean measurement of what SkyTrain access costs, since both are the same city and the same build vintage.

There is no rapid transit up the hill. Buses connect down to the Evergreen extension, but this is a driving neighbourhood.

Rapid transit

This is not a rapid transit neighbourhood. The nearest station is far enough that driving is the realistic assumption.

  • Port CoquitlamWest Coast Express · nearest home 3.9 km

Distances are measured in a straight line from each listing to the nearest SkyTrain, SeaBus, or West Coast Express station, using coordinates published by TransLink. A straight line is not a walk: a station 400 m away across a rail cut, a river, or a highway can be a twenty minute journey. Check the specific address on a map before treating any of these numbers as a commute.

Is Burke Mountain right for you

Works well if

  • Families who want a newer, larger home and are content to drive
  • Buyers comparing against Coquitlam West who would rather have space than the station
  • Households with two cars

Does not work if

  • You want to walk to SkyTrain
  • Winter hill driving is a problem for you
  • You want an established neighbourhood rather than a recently built one

Check before you offer

  • The grade at the address and how the driveway handles it
  • The bus connection down to the Evergreen extension, and how long it actually takes
  • Whether the complex is fully built out or still under construction nearby
  • The strata fee against the amenities provided

Common questions

What does a newly built home cost in Burke Mountain?

The median list price across 33 active newly built ground-oriented listings in Burke Mountain is $1,099,900, at $681 per square foot for a median 1,532 sq ft. That compares to $765 across Coquitlam as a whole.

Are homes in Burke Mountain townhouses or half duplexes?

Of the 33 active listings, 32 are townhouses and 1 are half duplexes. 4 are freehold with no strata and 29 are strata. That mix decides whether you get a complex with a monthly fee or half a house with one neighbour.

Burke Mountain or Coquitlam West?

Burke Mountain gives you more space per dollar in a family-oriented suburb up the hill. Coquitlam West gives you SkyTrain at a higher price per square foot in a smaller home. Both carry enough active listings to be a real choice rather than a theoretical one, and the price tables on this page quantify the gap.

Is Burke Mountain a new neighbourhood?

Yes, built almost entirely in the last two decades. The area was planned and developed as a whole rather than infilled house by house, so the streets, the schools, and the housing stock all arrived together.

Is there SkyTrain on Burke Mountain?

No. Buses connect down the hill to the Evergreen extension, but there is no rapid transit up on Burke Mountain itself. This is a driving neighbourhood, and the bus connection time down to the station is worth checking against your actual schedule.

Is Burke Mountain a steep hillside neighbourhood?

Genuinely, yes. The grade is real, the views from the upper streets are real, and so is the winter driving. Check the slope at the specific address before assuming it is a minor detail.

What should you verify before buying on Burke Mountain?

The grade at the address and how the driveway handles it, the bus connection time down to the Evergreen extension, whether the complex is fully built out or still under construction nearby, and the strata fee against the amenities the complex actually provides.

How current are these numbers?

They are recalculated from active MLS® listings every time the site is rebuilt, and were last measured on 2026-09-07. They describe what is on the market now, not what has sold.
