Pros & Cons Of Living In Pitt Meadows

Hey guys. this is Solomon here from the BC Elite Real Estate Group.

So today, we're here in Pitt Meadows.

And we're going to be talking about the pros and cons of living in Pitt Meadows

So Pitt Meadows is a beautiful city. It's situated between Coquitlam and Maple Ridge.
It has approximately 20,000 residents living in Pitt Meadows now, we're very close to the Golden Ears Bridge as well as Highway 1 and Lougheed and we are a 30-minute drive over to Vancouver.

We also have West Coast Express here and as well as great Transit service now. Pitt Meadows does have a lot of amenities so we have several shopping centers, several grocery stores.

As local ones local farm markets as well as 2 theatres.

We got the Hollywood three and the Cineplex.

We have a Winners & Canadian Tire here.

Some great coffee shops. There are several local walk-in clinics as well as great dental offices in town. Now several of you know me as a foodie and Pitt Meadows is known for some really good restaurants. So we have several Sushi joints here.

We've got some great pubs. There's the Foamers’ Folly.

There's also Vietnamese soup if you like PHO, Fo, there's a great one off of Ford Road and Harris as well as there's an OPA there.

There's just lots of places to eat out here. And Pitt Meadows is known for its Great Schools so that we got the Pitt Meadows secondary school.

There's several Elementary's like Pitt Meadows Elementary.

There's Davey Jones as well as Edith McDermott school and some other great places to visit while you're here Pitt Meadows is Osprey Village which were in right now and it has some great little cute shops has a trail that you could walk on. Some nice subdivisions great-looking homes.

It's one of the places that a lot of people come and visit.

We've lived here for 10 years always had big dogs. We love being able to walk along the river and what a lovely day, isn't it a beautiful day. And what's the name of your dog? Zoey.

And the people are really nice. It's a good Community.

Awesome. Well, I appreciate you taking the time to tell us about Pitt Meadows and you know, hopefully, people that move into Pitt Meadows, what would you say is one of the one places you have to visit when you come to Pitt Meadows.

Well, you got to take advantage of this Trail which goes all the way to the Pitt River and you can bike you can hike you can take your dogs and take your kids. That's it's like a great Community to just be outside and enjoy whatever the weather has to offer. Well, that's great stuff. Thanks very much. So as you can see Pitt Meadows is beautiful.

It has some amazing Trails, Parks as well as they have this place called Pitt River where you can ride up your canoe up inside the interior as well as Alouette River great place for canoeing now some other Pros about Pitt Meadows.

It's a very safe and quiet neighborhood, a very tight-knit small community. Everyone seems to know everybody here. So if you like that type of environment, this is the place for you to be and as well as As Somerset is one of the best neighborhoods in Pitt Meadows, if you're thinking about the top neighborhood it’s probably Somerset because you're avoiding the train and you're on the north side of the tracks one of the places that I would recommend you join is the Pitt Meadows community group on Facebook where you can communicate with local residents find out all about the events.

Hold on in here and it's a great place to be if you want to know all about Pitt Meadows. All right. So another cool thing about Pitt Meadows is that we do have our own airport. So every year the first Saturday of June we have Pitt Meadows day, so At Meadows day is a local community event hosted by volunteers and sponsors where we have family events. It runs from 7 a.m. Till about 10:00 p.m. And in the end there's a firework event.

Alright, guys. So right now I'm here at the Pitt Meadows Dykes trail system. And as you can see Pitt Meadows is so beautiful to have a look at that mountain.

So now Pitt Meadows has a lot of trails like I mentioned this is one of them and this is the north side of Pitt Meadows. So you have a lot of agricultural farm land out here. So there's also a pretty good spot called Hopcott Farms where they have a lot of local meat, local produce as well as an amazing place called Swane Set with which has some great banquet centers there and as well as a good golf course.

All right. So let's talk about the cons of living in Pitt Meadows.

Pitt Meadows does sleep after 9 p.m. Everything is pretty much closed down after 9 p.m. so if you like the hustle-bustle a fast pace type of environment this might not be the place for you. However, you like it to be quiet and you know, very close-knit tight as well as a quiet neighborhood.

This is the place to be the second thing that I don't like about Pitt Meadows is the fact that I know there are some good restaurants, but there's not a lot of options other than There's a ton of sushi, a couple of breweries, but I wish they had some better restaurants out here.

Now, I've lived in Pitt Meadows for 3 years and one of the things that you got to be careful of is leaving your cars unlocked and valuables in them. So I definitely recommend you lock your vehicles at night and leave your valuables at home. We have been broken into once before. So that's one thing that you should definitely be careful of now the last thing about Pitt Meadows that I don't like is the train. However, there's an underpass being proposed and possibly being built. The next few years under the Harris Road that's going to be called the Harris Road underpass.

So that's going to help alleviate a lot of the traffic and backlog. Sometimes you wait 30 minutes just for the train to pass by so there you have it the pros and cons of living in Pitt Meadows.
