Queensborough houses: your questions answered

How many houses are for sale in Queensborough?

39, in the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® month-end figures for October 2026. Listings change every day; Jared can tell you what is available now.

Is Queensborough a buyers’ or sellers’ market for houses?

Queensborough houses sold at a sales ratio of 5% in October 2026, a buyers’ market on the reports’ scale (under 12% favours buyers, over 20% favours sellers).

How many houses sold in Queensborough from June to October 2026?

10 houses sold in Queensborough over those 5 months, out of 75 in all of New Westminster.

Is Queensborough in a floodplain?

Yes — the whole neighbourhood is Floodplain Zone 1 in the City's floodplain study, a low-lying area with high groundwater, poor compressible soils and poor drainage, protected by a perimeter dyke built in the 1960s covering approximately 350 hectares and a pumped drainage system shared with Richmond. New construction must meet flood construction levels of 3.53 metres (Area A) or 4.20 metres (Area B) above Geodetic Survey of Canada datum.

How do I get off the island?

By one bridge to mainland New Westminster, or south into Richmond. Highway 91A, the Queensborough Connector, crosses the Queensborough Bridge over the North Arm of the Fraser River to Marine Way and Stewardson Way, and Highway 91 connects at the south end in Richmond. Every trip to Uptown, Downtown or Royal Columbian Hospital crosses that bridge, which is the fact to test at commute hours before buying.

Which schools are on the island?

Queen Elizabeth Elementary and Queensborough Middle School are on the island; secondary school is on the mainland. Catchments are address-based, so check the exact house address.

Can a Queensborough lot be subdivided?

Only within the island's sewer rule. The connection status of the specific lot therefore decides the subdivision question, and it is confirmed with the City, not assumed from the lot's size.

What did houses in Queensborough sell for?

The median house sale in Queensborough was $1,264,500, across 22 sales from November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026.

How long do houses take to sell in Queensborough?

Typical time on the market was 22 days. At the median, sale prices were 95.8% of list, and 0% of sales closed above list (November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026).

Queensborough Houses: streets and boundaries

  • Queensborough is the City of New Westminster's island neighbourhood on the eastern tip of Lulu Island — District Lots 757 and 758 in the Zoning Bylaw wording — ringed by the Fraser River main arm to the south and east and the North Arm to the north, and sharing Lulu Island with the City of Richmond to the west.
  • The only road link to the rest of New Westminster is Highway 91A, the Queensborough Connector, over the Queensborough Bridge across the North Arm to Marine Way and Stewardson Way; Highway 91 connects at the south end in Richmond.
  • Ewen Avenue is the island's main street — the City's Queensborough Development Permit Areas include the Queensborough Main Street commercial area on Ewen Avenue — and Port Royal is the newer development area at the island's north end, named in City planning materials.

Queensborough Houses: the housing stock

  • The newer house form is plan-named: the (RLR) Residential – Low Rise designation in the Official Community Plan amendment materials (Bylaw No. 8574, 2026) provides compact-lot single detached form, low-rise buildings up to six storeys, and stacked and side-by-side townhouses.

Queensborough Houses: rules that affect buyers

  • Every Queensborough house is inside the Flood Hazard Development Permit Area framework: minimum flood construction levels are 3.53 metres above Geodetic Survey of Canada datum for Area A (generally downstream from Derwent Way on the south side and Wood Street on the north side) and 4.20 metres above that datum for Area B (upstream of Derwent Way and Wood Street).
  • The governing plan is the Queensborough Community Plan, a schedule to Our City 2041, the Official Community Plan (Bylaw No. 7925, 2017), together with the Queensborough Eastern Neighbourhood Node Master Plan.

Queensborough Houses: local details a buyer would not know

  • Queensborough has the library branch on the island: New Westminster Public Library's Queensborough Branch is at 920 Ewen Avenue; the Main Branch is at 716 6th Avenue on the mainland.
  • The Queensborough Community Centre is the on-island City recreation facility, beside Ryall Park, which the City lists with sports fields, courts, a spray park, a community garden and the Boro All Wheel Park; Port Royal Park has a riverfront trail.
  • Electricity here is not BC Hydro's retail service: New Westminster owns and operates its own electric utility, governed under the City's Utility Commission Bylaw No. 8029, 2018 — a Queensborough house's power bill is a City of New Westminster bill.
  • The dike is being repaired in named spots: the City received $800,000 from the provincial Community Emergency Preparedness Fund for the Queensborough Dike Shoreline Protection Rehabilitation project, restabilising eroding dike slopes behind 345 Gifford Street and behind 805 Boyd Street, on the northeast side of Lulu Island.
  • Secondary students cross the bridge daily: New Westminster Secondary is on the mainland, so a Queensborough family's school run includes the Queensborough Bridge from Grade 9 onward.

Queensborough Houses: development and new projects

  • Queensborough Community Plan update and Eastern Neighbourhood Node, Queensborough, City of New Westminster plan process, residential land-use redesignation including the (RLR) Residential – Low Rise designation for compact-lot single detached houses, low-rise buildings up to six storeys and townhouses under Official Community Plan Amendment Bylaw No. 8574, 2026 — status: amendment materials dated March 9, 2026 (as of November 3, 2026).

Queensborough Houses: costs and taxes

  • 2026 utility charges for a single-family dwelling are flat annual rates, billed on a statement mailed in late February and discounted 5% if paid in full by Monday, May 4, 2026: net of discount, water $881.20, sewer $1,364.21 and solid waste (120-litre cart) $508.32, a $2,753.73 subtotal; a single-family dwelling with a secondary suite nets $4,143.46.
  • A registered owner aged 65 or over living alone in a single-family residence can claim the City's senior waiver of 25% of the annual water, sewer and solid waste charges, bringing the 2026 single-family net to $2,174.

Queensborough Houses: getting around

  • Route 104 is the island's bus: 22nd Street Station to Annacis Island via 7th Avenue, 20th Street, Marine Drive, the Queensborough Bridge, Highway 91A, Howes Street, Ewen Avenue, Derwent Way and Duncan Street through Queensborough, per TransLink's timetable effective September 7, 2026.
  • There is no SkyTrain station on the island: 22nd Street Station, reached by the route 104 bridge crossing, is the rail connection for Queensborough houses.

Queensborough Houses: risks and due diligence

  • Check the lot's flood construction level before pricing a rebuild: 3.53 metres above Geodetic Survey of Canada datum in Flood Hazard Development Permit Area A and 4.20 metres in Area B, split at Derwent Way on the south side and Wood Street on the north side.
