It’s true, life on the mountain is different. The air’s fresher, you’re surrounded by mature trees and parks, yet modern conveniences are all within walking distance.

And now there’s a new way to savour Burke Mountain. Say hello to Queenston, a boutique collection of just 23 three- and four-bedroom townhomes located opposite Queenston Park and adjacent to the new Smiling Creek elementary School.

A home that fits

“People love this part of Burke Mountain,” says Alisha Buksh, sales manager. “And because the site is on a slope, each plan feels just a little bit different. On opening day, one gentleman told us he was having a hard time choosing because there were so many great locations.”

She adds that Queenston represents one of the rare opportunities to purchase a townhome with an attached garage and more traditional, Craftsman-style architecture.

Inside, though, Queenston is pure 21st century. Open, sunny floorplans are ready for entertaining and distinctly family-friendly. Wide-plank laminate flooring throughout main living areas marries durability with good looks, duo-tone cabinetry creates a contemporary vibe, plus there are modern roller shades throughout for privacy and safety.

Kitchens are designed to unleash your inner chef—quartz countertops, premium appliances, as well as oversized drawers and corner cabinet organizers. Many include pantries because after all, you can never have too much storage.

Upstairs, you’ll discover generously sized bedrooms including a master ensuite with large-format tiling, double vanity, and a frameless glass shower with spa-like rain showerhead. It’s the perfect place to start your day or unwind in the evening.

Visitors, Alisha notes, were also wowed by the size of the floorplans, from just under 1,400 sq. ft. to a downsizer’s delight offering more than 2,250 sq. ft. and the ambience of a single-family home.

Oh and here’s a cool bonus: Every Queenston home is prewired for an EV charger. Good for you and the environment, too.

Close to what matters

For convenience, Queenston’s got you covered. It’s a short walk to the village centre, where the newly opened Ibex Café + Kitchen is already a popular spot to grab drinks and a bite with friends.

The shopping mecca of Coquitlam Centre is barely a 10-minute drive, Lougheed Town Centre just a little farther. There’s easy access to the freeway or hop on the Evergreen Line for a car-free commute west to downtown Vancouver or south to Surrey.

All this plus a plethora of outdoor activities that await exploration just minutes from your front door.

Even Queenston’s presentation centre has a unique character. “We designed an entire PC inside a truck that’s parked onsite,” Alisha explains. “It’s cute and quirky and it has everything you need—site plan, colour boards, renderings, a touchscreen showing the floorplans. It gives a playful twist to the customer experience.”
The Queenston mobile presentation centre is open by appointment at 3421 Queenston Avenue (just north of David Street) in Coquitlam. Visit queenstonliving.ca or call 604.259.7178 for to book your private, VIP tour.
