Downtown & Quayside, New Westminster

The city's historic commercial core along Columbia Street, now anchored by the Fraser River waterfront, Westminster Pier Park, and two SkyTrain stations.

Best for

TransitWalkabilityWaterfront

Downtown and Quayside run from the Columbia Street commercial area to the Fraser River waterfront. New Westminster and Columbia stations serve this part of the city, while the River Market and Westminster Pier Park anchor the waterfront. Check the actual walking route because steep blocks, rail crossings and station entrances change the experience by address.

The housing mix includes older apartments and newer towers. Use the city-wide CMHC figures only as historical survey context; compare currently available homes with parking, utilities, noise, construction and the exact entrance-to-platform walk recorded separately. Visit once during the evening period you expect to return home.
