Jared's take on Burke Mountain

In Coquitlam’s northeast growth area, Burke Mountain is a newer mountainside community where you’ll need a car. Even without SkyTrain, people choose it for newer homes, local elementary schools and trails into the provincial park.

Common questions

Can I buy a vacant lot on Burke Mountain?

No known lot offering exists — no named bare-land subdivision, bare-land strata plan or presale lot offering is known. What exists is built fee-simple and strata stock under the neighbourhood plans, plus townhouse presales (Versant, Rocklin 1295) that are homes, not lots.

How many homes can one lot hold?

Under Coquitlam's SSMUH rules: up to 3 units on lots 280 m² or smaller and up to 4 units on lots under 4,050 m², including suites and carriage/laneway homes — but lots not connected to municipal water or sewer are outside the rules.

What creek rule affects a Burke lot?

The Watercourse Protection DPA reaches 50 metres from the top of bank in Northeast Coquitlam — double the rest of Coquitlam — with Zoning ss.519/523 flood and riparian setbacks on top. Check any creek-edge lot before promising additions or suites.

Is the Village open yet?

Price the Village as a dated future amenity.

Which school district and schools serve Burke Mountain?

School District 43 (Coquitlam). SD43 names Smiling Creek Elementary and Coast Salish Elementary as Burke Mountain–area schools; catchments are address-based, so run the exact address in the SD43 School Locator.

Is there a SkyTrain station on Burke Mountain?

No. The nearest Evergreen Extension stations are Coquitlam Central, Lincoln and Lafarge Lake-Douglas, and Coquitlam Central also has West Coast Express service.

Are there creek setbacks to check before building?

Yes — a Watercourse Protection Development Permit can be required within 50 metres of the top of bank of any watercourse in Northeast Coquitlam, and Zoning Bylaw s.519 / s.523 set flood and riparian setbacks.

Lots and land in Burke Mountain

Fee-simple lots

  • Established and plan-created house lots: single-detached houses and townhouses are the planned and built forms under the three neighbourhood plans, with apartment form planned at Burke Mountain Village. Lot character, only: subdivision minimums under Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 are 650 m² with 18.5 m width in R-1 and R-3, and 465 m² with 12.5 m width in R-2. These are zone minimums, not a claim about any existing lot.
  • Plan frame for the remaining land: the Northwest Burke Vision covers about 400 hectares / 980 acres, described by the City as the last large undeveloped area in Coquitlam, guiding growth over 30+ years.
  • Serviced position, as the City states it: Coquitlam utility charges cover water, sewer and drainage and solid waste; lots not connected to municipal water or sewer are outside the SSMUH rules.
  • Check any parcel in the ALC's ALR Property and Map Finder.
  • Creek/slope position: the Watercourse Protection Development Permit Area covers all areas within 50 metres of the top of bank of any watercourse in Northeast Coquitlam (30 metres in the rest of Coquitlam); Zoning Bylaw s.519 sets flood protection setbacks and s.523 covers riparian areas.

Streets, schools and getting around Burke Mountain

  • Burke Mountain is the City of Coquitlam's Northeast Coquitlam growth area, planned through the adopted Hyde Creek, Smiling Creek and Partington Creek neighbourhood plans, the Northwest Burke Vision for its northwest area, and the Burke Mountain Village centre in Partington Creek. The Northwest Burke Vision area is bordered by Hyde Creek, Smiling Creek and Partington Creek to the south and Pinecone Burke Provincial Park to the north and east.
  • Nearby areas: Port Coquitlam (Citadel / Riverwood side) to the east, Coquitlam East / River Springs to the south, Hockaday to the west, and Pinecone Burke Provincial Park to the north and east.
  • Roads and transit: David Avenue and Coast Meridian Road serve Burke Mountain, with Harper Road off Coast Meridian Road giving primary access to Pinecone Burke Provincial Park. No SkyTrain station is inside Burke Mountain; the nearest Evergreen Extension (Millennium Line) stations are Coquitlam Central, Lincoln and Lafarge Lake-Douglas, and Coquitlam Central also has West Coast Express service.
  • Parks, recreation and shopping: Pinecone Burke Provincial Park borders the area north and east; the City is securing a Partington Creek wildlife corridor (50-metre-wide, expanding to a 100-metre buffer at an identified wildlife "hot spot", between Cedar Drive and Victoria Drive in its first phase). Burke Mountain Village is envisioned with more than 120,000 sq. ft. of retail plus a public plaza, and the future Burke Mountain Community Centre (aquatic centre, community centre and library) was under construction with an official groundbreaking May 12, 2026. Library service today is the Library Link mobile service and the City Centre branch, 1169 Pinetree Way. Health care: Eagle Ridge Hospital, 475 Guildford Way, Port Moody.
  • Schools: SD43 catchments are address-based. Programs of Choice (French Immersion, Mandarin Bilingual, Montessori) and cross-catchment moves are application / lottery processes, never catchment rights.

Community context only (SnapStats publishes medians at community level only; land has no SnapStats category): Coquitlam Detached median $1,455,000, $550/sqft, 97% sale-to-list, 35 days; Coquitlam "Condos & Townhomes" combined median $625,000, $687/sqft, 96%, 23 days.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Burke Mountain

The rules that apply across Surrey (zoning, suites, strata, land and taxes) are on one page: buying a home in Surrey: the rules.

  • Zoning — Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996: small-scale residential zones R-1, R-2 and R-3, with the subdivision minimums in; s.519 flood protection setbacks and s.523 riparian areas also sit in this bylaw.
  • OCP — Interim Official Community Plan, Bylaws 5511/5512, 2026, adopted April 27, 2026, superseding OCP No. 3479: the current plan frame, under which the Hyde Creek, Smiling Creek and Partington Creek neighbourhood plans, the Northwest Burke Vision and Burke Mountain Village planning sit. Any Burke document still citing OCP No. 3479 as current is stale.
  • Subdivision + servicing — Subdivision and Development Servicing Bylaw No. 3558, 2003: subdivision minimums run off the zone, and servicing runs under Bylaw No. 3558, 2003 — the consolidated bylaw requires the owner to grant or acquire statutory rights-of-way for the works and services needed to serve a subdivision or development, in a form acceptable to the City's solicitor, and to pay for traffic-control and street-name signage installed by the City at the owner's expense before subdivision approval or building permit issue. Parcel-level requirements are confirmed with the City.
  • Watercourse Development Permit: within 50 metres of the top of bank of any watercourse in Northeast Coquitlam a Watercourse Protection Development Permit can be required — double the 30-metre reach in the rest of Coquitlam — and the Partington Creek wildlife corridor can also affect creek-edge lots.
  • If a parcel is in the ALR: subdivision within the ALR requires ALC approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. On ALR land the main house can be up to 500 m², a suite is allowed only inside it, and an extra residence can be up to 90 m² (186 m² on parcels over 40 ha). For farm class, BC Assessment looks for farm income of $10,000 a year on under 0.8 ha, $2,500 on 0.8 to 4 ha, and $2,500 plus 5% of the value of land over 4 ha; applications are due by October 31.
  • Coquitlam property taxes: due July 2, 2026, with a 5% penalty on any unpaid balance after July 2, 2026 and an additional 5% penalty after September 15, 2026, including unclaimed Home Owner Grants.

Good to know about Burke Mountain

  • The wildlife corridor has dimensions: the Partington Creek corridor the City is securing is 50 metres wide, expanding to a 100-metre buffer at an identified wildlife "hot spot", between Cedar Drive and Victoria Drive in its first phase — a dated, sourced constraint on creek-edge land.
  • Coquitlam replaced its OCP in 2026: the Interim OCP (Bylaws 5511/5512, adopted April 27, 2026) supersedes OCP No. 3479 — a Burke feature sheet citing 3479 is citing a superseded plan.

The province-wide rules are on one page: BC land buying rules.
