Queensborough has transformed over the past 15 years from a rural and industrial enclave to a vibrant residential community with lovely waterfront homes and condos.
\nWhile some industry still exists along Queensborough\u2019s northern edge it has been supplemented with a lively commercial district that includes factory outlet retailers, restaurants and a Walmart.
\nQueensborough is located on Lulu Island, between the north arm of the Fraser River and Annacis Channel. It is connected to New Westminster by the four-lane Queensborough Bridge that was recently refurbished to add wide pedestrian and cycling paths.<\/p>\n

Neighbourhood amenities<\/h4>\n

Queensborough is a diverse, multicultural neighbourhood. Even as new developments of homes, town homes and condos spring up, pockets of the area\u2019s rural heritage of small family farms remain. Fishing boats that work the Fraser River and beyond berth at docks in the Annacis Channel.
\nThe neighbourhood features numerous parks, sports fields and a walking trail along its eastern shore that offers spectacular viewpoints up the Fraser River. There is also an elementary school and a middle school, as well as a recently-enlarged community centre that includes a branch of the public library.
\nThe New Westminster Smart Centre has a mix of big box retailers like Walmart, factory outlet stores, small shops, restaurants and caf\u00e9s. Next to it is a giant Lowe\u2019s Home Improvement centre, which was the first of its kind built in British Columbia.<\/p>\n
