Port Coquitlam
Poco, as known by the locals, is home of Terry Fox, and has evolved from a once primarily farming city to a mix of residential housing communities and a culturally diverse make up. Downtown Port Coquitlam offers a vibrant feel and lots of shopping, restaurants, bars and coffee shops. East Poco has newer box store retail and a lot of newer construction. The Coquitlam River divides Coquitlam and Port Coquitlam and offers a variety of walking trails, summer time tubing and bike riding spots. The southern subdivision of Citadel is a residential community with easy access to #1 freeway. Transportation includes the West Coast Express commuter train to downtown Vancouver. Great schools, down-to-earth residents, with a community feel make many people proud to call Poco their home!
