Mayfair Terrace, 2266 Atkins Avenue: the 55+ strata in Port Coquitlam

Mayfair Terrace is a four-storey freehold strata (plan LMS4171) built in 2000 with 46 units, in the CD-19 comprehensive development zone created for the project. MLS® property data records the age restriction as 55+. Building records show pets allowed with restrictions, and current listings specify lap pets. Listings also state that rentals are allowed, secure underground parking and a storage locker come with units, and the amenities include a community dining room, games room, hair salon, exercise room, theatre and an outdoor greenhouse.

The catch is a second monthly charge. An October 2026 listing for the building states a mandatory base service plan on top of the strata fee: $715 a month for the first resident and $400 for a second, covering daily breakfast plus 10 meals, weekly housekeeping, a 24-hour emergency response system, activities and transportation. These are listing-stated figures. Confirm the current amounts in the strata documents and the service agreement before you rely on them.

The services side of the same complex is registered with BC’s Assisted Living Registry as Aspira Mayfair Retirement Living, 2267 Kelly Avenue, which is the Kelly Avenue frontage of the building. That means a unit is an independent-living home with services attached, not a standard condo with a large strata fee.

Kew Lifestyles at Montrose is the newest 55+ building in the city, a 56-unit, five-storey purpose-built rental by Quantum Properties completed in 2023 beside the Port Coquitlam Community Centre. It is rental only, with nothing to buy.

Where 55+ housing is in Port Coquitlam

It is concentrated downtown, within a few blocks of Wilson Avenue and the Community Centre: Atkins Avenue (Mayfair Terrace), Kelly Avenue (Aspira Astoria and Aspira Mayfair), Mary Hill Road (Kew Lifestyles) and Hawthorne Avenue. The exception is the two Dogwood buildings on Seymour Street in Lincoln Park on the north side. No source shows a 55+ complex on Prairie Avenue or along the Oxford Heights and Coast Meridian corridor.

Some names look like 55+ housing here but are not.

How BC’s 55+ rules work for buyers

  • Only 55+ age bylaws are valid in a BC strata. Under sections 123.1 and 123.2 of the Strata Property Act a strata may restrict residents to age 55 or older, and any age bylaw set below 55 has been invalid since November 24, 2022.
  • The bylaw limits who may live in a unit, not who may own it. The Province states that people under 55 can own a strata lot in a 55+ corporation but may not be able to live in it.
  • Built-in exemptions apply to residents who were lawfully living in the unit when the bylaw passed, live-in caregivers and, since May 1, 2023, a younger spouse or partner, a child under 19 in the resident’s care, and an adult child the resident cared for before the child turned 19.
  • Rental-restriction bylaws have been void across BC since November 24, 2022, but a tenant must still satisfy the age bylaw or an exemption, and a strata can still limit short-term rentals.
  • Port Coquitlam’s zoning is set by Zoning Bylaw No. 3630. Mayfair Terrace sits in a site-specific CD-19 zone.

Living downtown: what is close and what is not

The $132-million Port Coquitlam Community Centre at 2150 Wilson Avenue, 205,000 square feet, fully opened on October 2, 2021 with three arenas, a leisure pool, a fitness centre and the Terry Fox Library, and it is walkable from every downtown 55+ building above. The West Coast Express stops at Port Coquitlam Station, 2125 Kingsway Avenue, but it is a commuter train: five trains each way on weekdays and none on weekends or holidays, per TransLink’s timetable effective January 5, 2026. Everyday transit is local bus.

SkyTrain does not reach Port Coquitlam, and none is funded. TransLink’s Transport 2050 10-Year Priorities commit only to an exploratory business case for a Millennium Line extension, which the Mayors’ Council work plan of February 19, 2026 still lists as underway, with no route, stations, funding or dates. The nearest hospital is Eagle Ridge Hospital at 475 Guildford Way in Port Moody; Port Coquitlam has none of its own.

Parts of low-lying Port Coquitlam sit behind the Pitt River dike system, and flood status has to be checked lot by lot. The City is rebuilding the Cedar Drainage Pump Station, with construction from summer 2026 to summer 2027 and completion expected in late summer 2027.

Port Coquitlam condos and townhomes: the market, not only 55+

The monthly reports cover every condo and townhome in the city, not just 55+ buildings, and do not flag age restrictions. In October 2026 the city had 219 condos and townhomes listed and 52 sold.

Before you buy a 55+ home

  • Read the age bylaw itself and ask which exemptions the strata has recorded for the unit.
  • Ask for the service agreement if the building has a mandatory service plan, and for the current monthly amounts.
  • Ask for the Form B, the depreciation report, the meeting minutes and the bylaws.
  • Check parking and storage for the specific unit.

Port Coquitlam 55+ homes: your questions answered

Is Port Coquitlam a buyers’ or sellers’ market for condos and townhomes?

In October 2026 condos and townhomes in Port Coquitlam had a sales ratio of 24%, which the reports’ scale reads as a sellers’ market. On that scale under 12% favours buyers, 12% to 20% is balanced and over 20% favours sellers. The figure covers all condos and townhomes in the city, not only 55+ buildings.

Is there a second mandatory monthly charge at Mayfair Terrace?

An October 2026 listing states a mandatory base service plan on top of the strata fee: $715 a month for the first resident and $400 for a second, covering meals, housekeeping, 24-hour emergency response, activities and transportation. These are listing-stated figures, so confirm the current amounts in the strata documents and the service agreement.

My spouse is under 55. Can we both live in a 55+ strata?

Yes. Provincial rules require an exemption for a younger spouse or partner of a resident who meets the age requirement or holds a legacy exemption. Children are exempt in defined cases: a child under 19 in the resident’s care, and an adult child the resident cared for before the child turned 19.

I am under 55. Can I buy in a 55+ building for a parent or as an investment?

Ownership is not age-restricted, but the bylaw governs who may live in the unit. The Province states that under-55s can own a strata lot in a 55+ corporation but may not be able to live in it, and a parent who is 55 or older can be the resident.

Can I rent out my unit in a 55+ building?

Long-term rental bans are no longer valid in BC, and listings for Mayfair Terrace state that rentals are allowed. The tenant must still meet the 55+ bylaw or an exemption, and a strata can still restrict short-term rentals.

Does the 55+ restriction shrink my resale buyer pool?

Yes. The next buyer must be able to live there under the bylaw: 55 or older, an exempt spouse, partner or caregiver, a legacy case, or someone who buys without living in the unit.

Are pets allowed in Port Coquitlam 55+ buildings?

It is building by building. Building records for Mayfair Terrace show pets allowed with restrictions, and current listings specify lap pets. Aspira Astoria, the rental residence on Kelly Avenue, describes itself as pet-friendly.

Is there a 55+ manufactured-home park in Port Coquitlam?

Hideaway Park (55+) and Wildwood Park, which come up in searches, are both in the City of Coquitlam.

Where is the nearest hospital to downtown Port Coquitlam?

Port Coquitlam has no hospital of its own. The Tri-Cities hospital is Eagle Ridge Hospital at 475 Guildford Way in Port Moody, a Fraser Health community hospital with a 24/7 emergency department.

What transit can I use day to day?

The West Coast Express stops at Port Coquitlam Station but runs only five trains each way on weekdays, with no weekend or holiday service. SkyTrain does not reach the city, so local buses are the everyday option.

If I need more care later, can I stay in Port Coquitlam?

There is a ladder in the city: independent strata living with a service plan at Mayfair Terrace, rental independent and assisted living such as Aspira Astoria and the 70 assisted-living suites at Hawthorne Tower, then long-term care at Hawthorne Lodge (131 beds) and Shaughnessy Seniors Community. Hawthorne’s programs are publicly funded through Fraser Health.
