Plateau House

Westwood Plateau, between forest and city.

Transit, Korean groceries, libraries, hospitals and schools around the house, on one map.

The neighbourhood

Forest on one side, the city on the other.

Westwood Plateau is a quiet family neighbourhood on the hillside above Coquitlam Town Centre, wrapped in forest trails and a golf course. Shopping, the library, Lafarge Lake and the SkyTrain are a short bus ride down the hill.

Getting around

Route 187 stops a three-minute walk from the house and runs down to Coquitlam Central Station, which connects to the SkyTrain Millennium Line and the West Coast Express. Buses come every 15 minutes in the morning rush and every 30 minutes the rest of the day.
