Explore the Charm of the West End, New Westminster
The West End of New Westminster emerges as a vibrant, primarily residential neighbourhood that captivates with its blend of modest heritage and scenic beauty. Nestled between 6th and 10th Avenues and 12th to 20th Streets, this neighbourhood boasts a variety of single-family homes on gently sloping lots that offer stunning views toward the Fraser River. Its streets, lined with bungalows and accented by lush, tree-lined sidewalks, reflect the area’s aesthetic allure and unassuming culture rooted in its working-class origins. Today, residents cherish the neighbourhood’s sunny disposition and the camaraderie in its unpretentious, friendly environment.
Perfectly positioned for convenience and accessibility, the West End enjoys proximity to New Westminster’s bustling Uptown and Downtown, with essential services and shopping readily available along 12th and 20th Streets. The area is well-served by transit, including two SkyTrain stations and a bike route connecting to neighbouring cities, making it ideal for commuters. With its close-knit community vibe, excellent recreational facilities at nearby parks, and a selection of schools within its bounds, the West End stands out as a desirable locale for those looking to build or find their next home in a neighbourhood that truly has it all.
Neighbourhood amenities
New Westminster’s West End is a mostly residential neighbourhood close to the city’s Uptown and Downtown commercial centres. Its commercial strips also service it along 12th Street and down 20th Street. It is bordered by Sixth and Tenth Avenues, 12th and 20th Streets. The West End is comprised mainly of well-kept single-family homes and some condos. The neighbourhood’s gentle slope up from the Fraser River offers many of them great views up and down the river. Westend’s proximity to both Uptown and Downtown commercial areas means all the shopping and services you could need are close by and convenient.
The area is perfectly situated between two SkyTrain stations, at 22nd Street and New Westminster station. It is also bisected by the Seventh Avenue bike route which connects cycling commuters to safe bike paths into Burnaby, Richmond and Vancouver. The West End is also close to Grimston and Moody parks. The latter is a 23-acre recreational hub with sports fields, lawn bowls, outdoor pool, playgrounds and seniors and youth centres.
