NEIGHBORHOODS
Welcome To Pitt Meadows
Nestled between the mighty Fraser River and the majestic Golden Ears mountains, Pitt Meadows is a dynamic municipality with a growing population of just over 18,200. With an ongoing commitment to building a better community for residents, businesses and visitors, Pitt Meadows is the natural place to live, work and invest.
Located in the Lower Fraser Valley; east of Vancouver, it is a primarily agricultural area, situated on the north side of the Fraser River at its junction with the Pitt River. The City is also bisected by the two arms of the Alouette River, along with a number of other sloughs and waterways. Pitt Lake, on the City’s northern boundary, is the largest tidal lake in North America. Along the community’s northeast edge lies the Thompson Mountain Range.
Pitt Meadows is considered the “Gateway” to the Fraser Valley and is forty minutes by West Coast Express passenger train service and one hour by car from Vancouver’s downtown area and Stanley Park.
