Jared's take on Uptown

Uptown is New West’s plateau neighbourhood, with houses around the Sixth Street shops and Royal City Centre, and the 2024 təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre as its civic anchor. People like the scale and accept that there’s no SkyTrain station on the plateau itself.

More New Westminster houses

Uptown Houses: streets and boundaries

  • Uptown is the Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue plateau neighbourhood in New Westminster, designated a Frequent Transit Development Area in the City's Official Community Plan (OCP), "Our City 2041," Bylaw No. 7925, 2017.
  • City Hall, at 511 Royal Avenue, sits at the area's south edge, and the New Westminster Public Library's main branch is at 716 Sixth Avenue.
  • Moody Park lies at the neighbourhood's north-west edge, and the Queen's Park Heritage Conservation Area, the city's one conservation area, lies just east of Uptown.

Uptown Houses: the housing stock

  • The stock is detached houses on the plateau streets under the RS districts of Zoning Bylaw No. 6680, 2001: the RS-1 district requires a minimum site area of 557.40 square metres (6,000 square feet) with a floor space ratio of 0.5.
  • RS districts allow secondary suites, and laneway and carriage houses are regulated under the same bylaw, so the house stock carries suite and laneway potential by zone rather than by exception.
  • New Westminster Secondary School, at 820 Sixth Street, is the city's single secondary school and the plateau's largest institution.

Uptown Houses: rules that affect buyers

  • Uptown's Frequent Transit Development Area designation in Our City 2041 is the plan frame for added density around the Sixth Street corridor.
  • The Queen's Park Heritage Conservation Area is the city's one conservation area and sits just east of Uptown, so heritage conservation rules apply across the east edge rather than inside Uptown itself.

Uptown Houses: local details a buyer would not know

  • Royal City Centre, at 610 Sixth Street, is the plateau's mall, with 40 or more shops, per the mall's own site.
  • The replacement New Westminster Secondary School opened January 11, 2021 and was already above capacity per the district's long-range facilities plan, so school capacity is a live issue in this catchment.
  • École Lord Tweedsmuir Elementary, in the recorded chain for 1714 Eighth Avenue, is where Early French Immersion is offered on this side of the city.

Uptown Houses: costs and taxes

  • The speculation and vacancy tax applies in New Westminster, so owners declare annually.

Uptown Houses: getting around

  • Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue are the plateau's corridors, carrying the 105, 106, 103 and 123 buses, and the Expo Line stations at New Westminster and Columbia sit below the plateau to the south-east.
  • City Hall at 511 Royal Avenue anchors the south edge, so civic business is at the neighbourhood's edge rather than across the city.

Uptown Houses: risks and due diligence

  • Check the lot's RS district figures before planning: RS-1 requires a minimum site of 557.40 square metres at a floor space ratio of 0.5 under Zoning Bylaw No. 6680, 2001.
  • Confirm whether a lot on the east edge falls inside the Queen's Park Heritage Conservation Area, the city's one conservation area, since the boundary runs just east of Uptown.
