New Westminster · Neighbourhood guide
Living in Uptown New Westminster.
The everyday heart of New West, around Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue, with Royal City Centre, Moody Park and a big choice of condos at prices that are hard to find closer to Vancouver.
About Uptown
Uptown is New Westminster’s main shopping and residential area on the hill above downtown, centred on the corner of Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue. Royal City Centre, grocery stores, restaurants and services line Sixth Street, and Moody Park is a short walk away.
Most homes are condos, many in older low-rise and high-rise buildings, alongside newer towers and character houses on the surrounding streets. That range makes Uptown one of the more affordable places in Metro Vancouver to buy a condo with real space.
Buses run frequently along Sixth Street and Sixth Avenue, and both New Westminster and 22nd Street SkyTrain stations are a short trip downhill.

Uptown questions
Is Uptown New Westminster a good place to buy?
Buyers like it for its walkable main streets, parks and condo prices that are often lower than in Vancouver and Burnaby. Many buildings are older, so strata records and building condition need a close look. Darell can help you compare buildings.
Are older Uptown condo buildings a risk?
Not by default, but older buildings can face bigger repairs. Review the depreciation report, contingency fund, strata minutes and any planned levies, and get a home inspection. Your lawyer or notary can confirm details. Darell reviews strata documents with his buyers.
What is my Uptown New Westminster home worth right now?
It depends on recent sales in your building and nearby, your home’s condition and what buyers can choose from today. Darell can go through it with you for a personal market evaluation.
