River Springs houses: your questions answered

How many houses are for sale in River Springs?

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

Is River Springs a buyers’ or sellers’ market for houses?

In October 2026, houses in River Springs had a sales ratio of 25% on only 4 listed, too few to read as a market type. On the reports’ scale under 12% favours buyers, 12% to 20% is balanced and over 20% favours sellers.

How many houses sold in River Springs from June to October 2026?

5 houses sold in River Springs over those 5 months, out of 273 in all of Coquitlam.

Is River Springs a new master-planned community?

The City treats it as an existing river pocket on Shaughnessy Street under the Northeast Coquitlam Area Plan, with a documented 1930s history: the Oxbow Ranch became Steelhead Lodge, a fishing lodge visited by Hollywood stars, and several streets here were named after those visitors. The newer Burke Mountain neighbourhood plans — Lower Hyde Creek, Upper Hyde Creek and Smiling Creek — are separate plan areas north of this pocket.

Which schools serve a River Springs house?

No School District No. 43 school building sits inside the pocket itself in the Ministry directory. Schools listed around it are Leigh Elementary at 1230 Soball Street on Burke Mountain, École Coquitlam River Elementary at 4250 Shaughnessy Street in Port Coquitlam south across David Avenue, Glen Elementary at 3064 Glen Drive across the river, and Pinetree Secondary at 3000 Pinewood Avenue. None is confirmed as the catchment school for a specific River Springs address; catchment is by permanent home address in the district School Locator.

How close can I build to the Coquitlam River?

Two separate checks apply on the Shaughnessy Street side. Separately, land within 50 metres of the top of bank or ravine bank in the Northeast Coquitlam Area Plan is in the Watercourse Protection Development Permit Area, so altering land there needs that permit before work starts.

Does the Coquitlam River flood here?

The City designs Coquitlam River flood levels on the 200-year design flood and publishes Year 2200 floodplain maps with flood elevations including freeboard, and its river park page states the river is at its highest and most dynamic from November to March with heavy precipitation and spring thaw. That is a lot-level check: read the specific Shaughnessy Street lot against the City's floodplain maps and the Schedule G floodplain, rather than relying on the pocket's elevation generally.

What did houses in River Springs sell for?

The median house sale in River Springs was $1,205,000, across 5 sales from November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026.

How long do houses take to sell in River Springs?

Typical time on the market was 17 days. At the median, sale prices were 98.5% of list, and 20% of sales closed above list (November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026).

More Coquitlam houses

River Springs Houses: streets and boundaries

  • River Springs is a house pocket on the east bank of the Coquitlam River in northeast Coquitlam, and the City publishes no official boundary for the multiple listing service sub-area name.
  • Shaughnessy Street is the main street through the pocket, David Avenue runs along its south side, the Coquitlam River and Coquitlam River Park are on the west, and the land rises toward the Burke Mountain and Port Coquitlam side, around Oxford Street and Lincoln Avenue, on the east and north.
  • The addressed river anchor is Coquitlam River Park at 1190 Shaughnessy Street, and the City's Hockaday Park page is the City page that names the River Springs area and its river setting directly.

River Springs Houses: the housing stock

  • Houses on the Shaughnessy Street pocket are the stock for this guide; no City, School District No. 43 (Coquitlam) or BC Assessment public source states a typical build decade, lot size, subdivision name, developer or house style for River Springs, and no master-plan developer claim is made, because no City source names one for this pocket.
  • The documented age in this pocket is in its street names, not a build-era statement: the City records that several River Springs streets were named after 1930s Hollywood visitors to the river, when the Oxbow Ranch on the Coquitlam River was renamed Steelhead Lodge, a fishing lodge visited by film stars of the era.
  • The surrounding plan context is older established northeast Coquitlam, not a new neighbourhood plan area: the Northeast plan's own neighbourhood plans — Lower Hyde Creek, Upper Hyde Creek and Smiling Creek — are on Burke Mountain, north of River Springs.

River Springs Houses: rules that affect buyers

  • A Riparian Areas Protection Regulation assessment can be required for development within 30 metres of a stream, or within 30 metres of a ravine under 60 metres wide, to set the watercourse setback where no development or land alteration is allowed.
  • Floodplain siting under Zoning Bylaw No. 3000, 1996 section 519: no building within 30 metres of the natural boundary of the Coquitlam River, and no building below the flood construction level in the designated floodplain shown on Schedule G.
  • Plan coverage: the pocket sits in the City's northeast sector under the Northeast Coquitlam Area Plan, formerly Chapter 11 of Citywide Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 3479, 2001, now carried with the City's plans into the Interim Official Community Plan, Bylaw No. 5511, 2026.

River Springs Houses: local details a buyer would not know

  • The City recorded trail erosion repairs along the east side of the Coquitlam River below David Place in August 2026, with short trail closures while work was underway — the riverbank beside this pocket is actively maintained, not static.
  • A River Springs Community Centre at 1950 Lodge Drive appears in non-official listings only; no City, School District No. 43 or Province source confirms its address or operation.
  • The nearest library branch is Coquitlam Public Library's City Centre Branch at 1169 Pinetree Way, southwest across the river; the other branch is Poirier at 575 Poirier Street.
  • David Avenue at Shaughnessy Street is a named 2026 intersection safety improvement location in the City's capital list, and Shaughnessy Street from David Avenue to Lincoln Avenue is a named 2026 pavement location.

River Springs Houses: development and new projects

  • David Avenue and Shaughnessy Street road work, David Avenue from Genest Way to Shaughnessy Street and Shaughnessy Street from David Avenue to Lincoln Avenue, City of Coquitlam, pavement and intersection safety work — status: listed in the City's 2026 capital projects (as of November 3, 2026).

River Springs Houses: getting around

  • Route 191, Coquitlam Central Station to Princeton, runs David Avenue at the pocket's south side via Johnson Street, Glen Drive and Pinetree Way, connecting Burke Mountain residents to the Evergreen Extension and West Coast Express at Coquitlam Central Station.
  • The combined 173 Cedar and 174 Rocklin community shuttle loop does not run Shaughnessy Street north of David Avenue inside River Springs: its timetable, effective June 8, 2026, uses Shaughnessy Street only south of David Avenue in Port Coquitlam, plus David Avenue itself at this pocket's south side.

River Springs Houses: risks and due diligence

  • Check the Year 2200 Floodplain Maps and the Coquitlam, Fraser and Pitt Rivers Floodplain Mapping Report, August 2017, for the specific lot: the City's flood analysis accounts for climate change and lists flood elevations for 2014, 2100 and 2200 events including freeboard, but the maps do not replace a lot survey.
  • Check dikes and pump stations on the City's Coquitlam Pump Station and Dike Map: the City states several dikes protect low-lying properties and those properties require pump stations to move water into the river when levels are high.
  • Check the Watercourse Protection Development Permit Area at the wider northeast distance, 50 metres from top of bank or ravine bank, and whether a Riparian Areas Protection Regulation assessment is triggered within 30 metres of the river or a ravine.
