Pitt Meadows

Pitt Meadows sits in an interesting spot—close enough to Vancouver that you can smell the city’s ambition, yet far enough away that cranberry bogs and mountain views still matter more than condo towers. This community of just over 19,000 has mastered the art of being simultaneously suburban and rural, where your neighbor might commute to downtown Vancouver or run a blueberry farm.

The housing mix tells the real story here. While 42% live in single-detached homes, nearly a quarter choose apartments, and another 19% opt for row houses. That diversity reflects people who want different things from the same place—some crave acreage for their horses, others prefer low-maintenance living near the golf course. With a median household income of $104,000, residents can afford to be choosy about their lifestyle.

Pitt Meadows earned its reputation as a place where people actually know their neighbors’ names. The Pitt Meadows Golf Club has been drawing players since 1962, while Minnekhada Regional Park offers hiking trails that make you forget you’re 45 minutes from downtown Vancouver. The annual Pitt Meadows Day brings out everyone from longtime farming families to new tech workers who discovered they could work remotely and still afford a house with a yard.

Agriculture remains surprisingly relevant here. While healthcare, construction, and retail employ the most people, the cranberry and blueberry operations continue operating profitably, creating an unusual economic mix that includes both knowledge workers and agricultural specialists.
