Austin Heights Community Profile 2019
Located in the heart of Southwest Coquitlam, Austin Heights is characterized by its commercial strip comprising
a mix of retail and service establishments that primarily serve local residents.
Austin Heights, which covers 66 hectares (163 acres), began to develop rapidly as a bedroom community in the
post-war period. Development was further accelerated by the opening of the Lougheed Highway in 1953 and the
Trans-Canada Highway in 1964. Today, multi-family apartments represent 85% of the housing stock in Austin
Heights, which is the highest proportion across all communities in Coquitlam.
Austin Heights is home to 3,300-plus people who enjoy excellent transportation connections. Major highway
connections to downtown Vancouver are within easy reach and the Lougheed SkyTrain station is ten minutes
away by public bus.
Within Austin Heights, Blue Mountain Park is a major attraction that is enjoyed
by visitors of all ages. For children, there is a playground, and in the summer
months, a wading pool and spray park. Picnic facilities, tennis courts, sports
fields, walkways, sculpture gardens and a mini waterfall add to the appeal of
this park.
Coquitlam is one of the fastest-growing municipalities in British Columbia, home
to 139,284 people (based on the 2016 Census).
