Along Pipeline Road

Hockaday: the biggest lots in Coquitlam, by a wide margin

Hockaday is a small board area along Pipeline Road in north Coquitlam, with listings on Pipeline Road and Pipeline Place along with El Casa Court, Lambert Way and Rakanna Place. Every address carries a V3E postal code.

One number defines this area: the size of the land. Hockaday has the largest median lot of any Coquitlam board area, and the second largest is under a third of it. The figures panel below carries the current number, worked out from the listings themselves so it stays true after each refresh. The land is the reason to look here.

The houses themselves are older, with a median build year of 1983, and they have been slow to sell relative to the rest of the city. Both of those things follow from the land: a property where the lot carries most of the value takes a particular kind of buyer.

Cityecho pulled these figures from the MLS® feed on October 9, 2026 at 9:26 a.m. PT: every active listing for houses in the Hockaday board area of Coquitlam. Prices are asking prices, and sale prices can differ. Days listed count from the listing contract date. The listings further down this page load live, so their count can differ from these figures.

What a lot this size means for a buyer

A lot of 30,000 square feet is 0.69 of an acre. On a property that size the land is usually worth more than the house standing on it, and that changes how it is priced, who buys it, and how long it takes to sell.

It also changes what you are taking on. A large lot means more to maintain, more drainage to think about, and often a longer driveway to clear. Services, septic or sewer connections, tree protection bylaws and watercourse setbacks all become live questions rather than formalities.

Before assuming a big lot can be divided, read the zoning for the specific parcel and talk to the City. Lot size alone does not decide what may be built. Slope, servicing, access, tree cover and any watercourse on or near the property all constrain it, and a large lot with a creek running through it may support less than a smaller flat one.

Questions a big lot raises

What the zoning actually allows
Ask the City about the specific parcel rather than relying on the lot size. Zoning, servicing, access and setbacks decide what is possible.
Watercourses and trees
A creek, a ravine or protected trees can put large parts of a lot off limits to building. These show up on City mapping and in a development permit area designation.
The cost of keeping it
Driveway, drainage, trees and grounds all cost more on a lot this size. Ask the seller what they spend in a year.
Why it has been listed a while
Houses here have taken longer to sell than the Coquitlam average. That is normal for properties where the land carries the value, and it is worth asking what offers have already come and gone.
