Uptown is New Westminster's emerging commercial and residential hub, situated on the plateau above the Downtown core and experiencing significant condominium and mixed-use development driven by proximity to the Uptown New Westminster commercial district and excellent SkyTrain access. The neighbourhood is served by the New Westminster and 22nd Street SkyTrain stations on the Expo Line, providing rapid transit to Burnaby and downtown Vancouver. Real estate in Uptown ranges from older apartment buildings and character homes to newer concrete condos along 6th Avenue and Royal Avenue. Columbia Square and several major retailers along McBride Boulevard provide everyday convenience, while the growing restaurant scene and arts facilities enhance the neighbourhood's urban appeal. Uptown's transit-rich location, improving amenities, and pricing that remains significantly below comparable communities in Vancouver and Burnaby make it a compelling choice for first-time buyers and urban investors in the New Westminster real estate market.
