Westwood Plateau Neighbourhood Overview
Located just 40 minutes from downtown Vancouver, British Columbia, Westwood Plateau is a master-planned community developed by Wesbild Holdings Ltd. set high above the municipality of Coquitlam on Eagle Mountain. Westwood Plateau has been a focal point of residential growth in Coquitlam since its development began in 1989.
Until 1989, Westwood Plateau consisted of a 1,400 acre parcel of undeveloped hillside at the northern edge of the City of Coquitlam, a suburban municipality 25 km 15 miles east of Vancouver. Comprising the lower slopes of Eagle Mountain, the site was owned by the Provincial government with a portion leased to a sports car club for use as a racetrack. The Westwood racetrack attracted car enthusiasts to the site from 1956 until the track closed in 1990.
The area experienced considerable growth during the 1990s. Homes encompass a wide range of types, from affordable apartments through townhomes, efficient single-family homes on compact lots, conventional suburban homes, and large estate homes. Sizes of single-family lots range in width from 34 feet to over 100 feet. Special landscape elements such as street boulevards with meandering sidewalks, coordinated street trees and special streetlights add to the ambiance of the community. The distinctive treatment in the landscape helps to convey the impression of a very desirable place to live.
Green space abounds on Westwood Plateau with nearly half of the 1400-acre site being retained as park or open space. The Westwood Plateau Golf & Country Club is a world-class facility with 18 holes of challenging play and magnificent views of the valley and surrounding mountains. The Westwood Plateau Golf Academy provides 9 holes of executive play, plus 3 practice holes and a 66 stall driving range with two levels. Stunning clubhouse architecture completes the golf experience. All the golf facilities are fully open to the public.
Other amenities within Westwood Plateau are playgrounds and natural park areas, five public schools, neighbourhood convenience stores, a community shopping center, churches and an extensive system of trails. Walking within the community is a common pastime, and with over 5 miles of trails, there are plenty of areas to explore.
