Glenwood houses

Houses for sale in Glenwood, Port Coquitlam

Glenwood has more houses listed than any other Port Coquitlam board sub-area. They sit on lots that tend to be larger than most Port Coquitlam neighbourhoods, with a median around 7,000 square feet, on streets that were built out mostly in the 1960s.

That combination of lot size, older construction and lower price relative to Citadel or Central Port Coquitlam attracts two kinds of buyers: families who want space at a lower entry price, and buyers who want the ability to add units under Port Coquitlam's small-scale housing rules.

Questions to resolve before you write an offer on a Glenwood house

Has the electrical been updated?
A 1960s house commonly has a 100-amp panel and aluminium wiring on branch circuits, both of which insurers flag and lenders may require to be brought up before they approve. Ask the inspector to identify the panel amperage, the wiring type on branch circuits, and whether the panel has been replaced. Get an electrician's estimate before you finalize your numbers.
What is the plumbing material?
Galvanized steel pipes from the 1960s are past their expected service life and are often corroded inside, which reduces water pressure and can burst unexpectedly. Ask the inspector to identify the supply and drain pipe materials throughout the house, and find out which sections, if any, have already been replaced.
Is the suite permit in order?
Port Coquitlam requires a building permit for every secondary suite. For a suite inside a house built before 1993, the City also requires a separate development permit. Ask the seller for both permits and verify them against what you can see. An unpermitted suite does not make the home unmortgageable, but lenders treat the income from it differently, and you become responsible for making it legal or removing it.
What does the zoning allow on this specific lot?
The number of units allowed depends on the lot's size and its distance from frequent bus service. Ask the City's Planning Department for a written answer on the specific address rather than relying on a general description. A lot that allows six units is worth more to a developer than a neighbouring lot that allows four.

Read the lot size and build year together. An older house on a larger lot carries more update risk and more development potential at the same time.
