Citadel real estate: your questions answered

How many homes are for sale in Citadel?

At the end of October 2026 the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® figures showed 20 houses and 21 condos and townhomes listed in Citadel. Those are month-end counts and they move daily, so ask Jared for a current list.

Is Citadel a buyers’ or sellers’ market?

In October 2026, houses had a sales ratio of 20% (a balanced market); condos and townhomes had 24% (a sellers’ market). The sales ratio is homes sold divided by homes listed; on the reports’ scale under 12% favours buyers, 12% to 20% is balanced and over 20% favours sellers. One month in one community is a small sample, so look at the monthly table above before you decide.

How many homes sold in Citadel from June to October 2026?

21 houses and 16 condos and townhomes sold in Citadel over those 5 months; detached houses peaked in September with 9 sold and condos and townhomes peaked in July with 5 sold.

How big is Citadel compared with the rest of Port Coquitlam?

In October 2026, Citadel held 14.6% of the 137 detached houses listed in Port Coquitlam and 9.6% of the 219 condos and townhomes listed in Port Coquitlam.

What mix of houses and condos is for sale in Citadel?

In October 2026, houses made up 48.8% of the 41 homes listed in Citadel and condos and townhomes made up 51.2%; of the 9 that sold, houses were 44.4% and condos and townhomes 55.6%.

Are there more or fewer homes for sale in Citadel than in June?

Listings of detached houses fell from 23 in June to 20 in October 2026 (−13.0%); condos and townhomes rose from 18 in June to 21 in October 2026 (+16.7%).

Is Citadel in a floodplain?

Not by assumption either way — Citadel Heights is elevated ground, but a significant portion of Port Coquitlam sits in the Fraser and Pitt River floodplain behind dykes.

Which schools serve a Citadel lot?

SD43 catchments are address-based. The one locator run on record for this area (1265 Citadel Dr) returned Hazel Trembath Elementary, Ecole Citadel Middle and École Riverside Secondary — that result belongs to that address only; run the exact address before promising a school.

Is there an actual duplex-style complex in Citadel?

Yes — one, documented: Citadel Pointe (678 / 688 Citadel Drive, LMS3766, built 1999), a gated strata townhouse complex whose listing copy describes duplex-style townhouses.

What do I actually buy at Citadel Pointe?

A freehold strata lot in a multi-unit strata plan — not a 2-lot strata and not a fee-simple half. Form B diligence applies in full.

Is any Citadel home known 55+?

PoCo's one 55+ strata is Mayfair Terrace, downtown in Central Pt Coquitlam.

Are Citadel Green and The Uplands 55+?

The Uplands' build year is 1988 on the fresh listing basis.

Is it called Citadel or Citadel Heights?

Both names describe the same north Port Coquitlam neighbourhood — the board sub-area is Citadel and the City's Official Community Plan uses Citadel Heights. Search and paperwork use both, so check a listing, tax record and school lookup against the street address on Citadel Drive or Mary Hill Road rather than the neighbourhood name alone.

Which schools serve a Citadel home?

Castle Park Elementary and Hazel Trembath Elementary are the other north-side elementaries named on district material. Run the exact home address.

Can a house lot hold more than one home?

Yes — Port Coquitlam permits small-scale multi-unit housing of 3 to 6 units on RS-zoned lots without rezoning, with the count depending on lot size, location and proximity to transit. That makes the lot's zone, width and transit distance part of the price discussion for older Citadel houses. Confirm the count for the specific lot with the City before writing it into an offer.

Is Citadel in the floodplain?

Not automatically — a significant portion of Port Coquitlam sits in the Fraser and Pitt River floodplain behind dyke infrastructure, and Citadel Heights is elevated ground, but the City does not clear a specific lot by neighbourhood name. Check the lot's floodplain status with the City lot by lot, especially on lower streets toward the Pitt River and Castle Park.

What did townhomes in Citadel sell for?

The median townhome sale in Citadel was $910,000, across 31 sales from November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026.

How long do townhomes take to sell in Citadel?

The median was 12 days from listing to sale, and homes sold at a median 98.1% of the last list price (3% sold above list), for sales November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026.

Lots and land in Citadel PQ

What trades here

  • Fee-simple lots: detached homes here are freehold; a fee-simple lot carries no strata corporation, no Form B and no strata fees. Attached homes are strata titled — built strata stock, not land.
  • It is a built gated townhouse strata, named here only so a land reader does not mistake it for lot inventory.
  • None is land stock.
  • Namesake warning — never merge: The two share a name only; no figure, count or fact crosses between them.
  • Flood and ALR position: Citadel Heights is elevated ground, but a significant portion of Port Coquitlam is within the Fraser and Pitt River floodplain behind dyke infrastructure.

Streets, schools and getting around Citadel PQ

  • Citadel is an established residential neighbourhood on Port Coquitlam's north side, around Citadel Drive and Mary Hill Road, beside Castle Park on the Pitt River side. The City of Port Coquitlam Official Community Plan uses the name Citadel Heights for this same neighbourhood and describes Riverwood and Citadel Heights as established residential neighbourhoods on the north side.
  • Nearby areas: Oxford Heights and Glenwood PQ to the west and south, Riverwood to the east, Central Pt Coquitlam to the south, Pitt Meadows across the Pitt River. Coast Meridian Road and the Coast Meridian Overpass connect north Port Coquitlam to Lougheed Highway and the Mary Hill Bypass.
  • Transit: TransLink buses serve north Port Coquitlam from Coquitlam Central Station and Port Coquitlam Station, and the West Coast Express stops at Port Coquitlam Station. There is no SkyTrain in Port Coquitlam — an extension is an exploratory business case only (Mayors' Council Feb 19, 2026 work plan), with no funding, route or dates.
  • Parks and recreation: Castle Park is beside the Citadel area on the Pitt River side of north Port Coquitlam, and the Traboulay PoCo Trail network crosses the city; Hyde Creek Recreation Centre at 1379 Laurier Avenue is the north-side recreation centre, and the Terry Fox Library is at the Port Coquitlam Community Centre, 2150 Wilson Avenue.
  • Shopping: no shopping centre or grocery store location inside this sub-area was verified on an official source; the OCP supports an appropriate neighbourhood commercial development in the Citadel area.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Citadel PQ

  • Zoning — Port Coquitlam Zoning Bylaw No. 3630: single-detached homes sit under RS1, RS2, RS3 and RS4, with minimum lot widths of at least 15 m (RS1), 12 m (RS2), 30 m (RS3) and 9.5 m (RS4); apartment zones RA1 and RA2 and townhouse zones RTh1, RTh2 and RTh3 exist in the bylaw.
  • SSMUH — Port Coquitlam, as the City states it: the City permits 3 to 6 small-scale multi-unit housing units on RS-zoned lots without rezoning, depending on lot size, location and transit proximity.
  • ALR block (carried for completeness — no ALR land was confirmed inside Citadel): subdivision within the ALR requires Agricultural Land Commission approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. Caps: principal ≤500 m², suite within principal only, additional residence 90 m² (≤40 ha) / 186 m² (>40 ha). Check a parcel on the ALC maps.

Good to know about Citadel PQ

  • Two names, one neighbourhood (Nov 1, 2026). The board calls the sub-area "Citadel" while the City's OCP calls the same area "Citadel Heights" — searches run under only one name miss documents filed under the other.
  • The OCP leaves a commercial door open at the top of the neighbourhood (Nov 1, 2026). The Official Community Plan supports an appropriate neighbourhood commercial development in the Citadel area.
  • Castle Park is the Pitt River front door (Nov 1, 2026). Castle Park sits beside the Citadel area on the Pitt River side of north Port Coquitlam, and the Traboulay PoCo Trail network crosses the city — the amenity frame for the lots on the river side of the heights.
  • Detached and attached moved in opposite directions in the same month (Sep 2026). Citadel detached sold 9 of 20 (45%) while attached sold 1 of 23 (4%) — a buyer pricing a Citadel lot off the detached headline is reading a different market from the townhouse shelf beside it. (SnapStats, September 2026)
