Downtown New Westminster is a vibrant, historic urban centre on the south bank of the Fraser River, serving as the original capital of British Columbia and now one of Metro Vancouver's most transit-connected and culturally rich mid-size cities. The neighbourhood is served by the New Westminster SkyTrain station and the River Market at Westminster Quay, a waterfront public market offering stunning Fraser River views, local vendors, and a growing restaurant and retail scene. Real estate in Downtown NW includes high-rise condominiums, heritage lofts, older apartment buildings, and newer mixed-use towers, offering some of the most affordable urban real estate in the entire Metro Vancouver market. The Pattullo and Alex Fraser bridges and direct Expo Line access make Downtown NW highly connected to Surrey, Burnaby, and Vancouver. With an active arts scene, waterfront trails, and strong community pride, Downtown New Westminster is increasingly popular with young professionals and investors.
