The city has something to offer just about everyone, combining the best of the big city with proximity to some of B.C.&#8217;s best parks, trails, and its famous riverside. Let&#8217;s break it down now to see what New West has to offer its residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h3 style=\"color: #fe5f55\">Location<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>New Westminster has a unique location about 17km southeast of Vancouver and 8km from Burnaby, nestled in its own little corner of the Lower Mainland right on the banks of the Fraser River. This means it&#8217;s a short drive or transit trip to just about everywhere else in the Lower Mainland, about 30 minutes by SkyTrain or car to Vancouver. Not that you&#8217;ll feel the need to leave very often though \u2013 New Westminster is a gorgeous city that&#8217;s particularly sought out in the summer for its lush parks and picturesque riverside location <\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h3 style=\"color: #fe5f55\">Transportation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>New Westminster has some of the best and most vast <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"public transit (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newwestcity.ca\/transportation\/getting-around\/transit\" target=\"_blank\">public transit<\/a> options of cities in the Lower Mainland, with five SkyTrain stations, over twenty bus routes and Frequent Transit Networks linking New Westminster to other cities make it exceedingly easy to get around for those who don&#8217;t have a vehicle. For those that do drive, getting around and in &amp; out of New West is also quick and convenient. The Trans Canada Highway links the city with just about everywhere else in B.C. and beyond, and will also be your main route to Vancouver. The other major artery connecting New West with the rest of the area is Highway 91A over the Queensborough Connector. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h3 style=\"color: #fe5f55\">Culture &amp; Entertainment<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>New Westminster has a  burgeoning arts &amp; culture scene and bustling waterfront community that make it appealing for renters of all ages. This is best shown by the <a aria-label=\"New West Cultural Crawl (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/newwestculturalcrawl.com\/#:~:text=in%20New%20Westminster&amp;text=The%20New%20West%20Cultural%20Crawl,visitors%20from%20across%20Metro%20Vancouver.\" target=\"_blank\">New West Cultural Crawl<\/a>, which takes place in October each year and spotlights local artists and all that makes New Westminster unique. Another popular event that runs practically year-round, the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"New West Farmers Market (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/newwestfarmers.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">New West Farmers Market<\/a> is a focal point of the community&#8217;s locally-focused outlook and provides an excellent place to gather and shop for local produce and goods. New Westminster is also known for its excellent breweries, like <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Steel &amp; Oak (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/steelandoak.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Steel &amp; Oak<\/a> and <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Another Beer Co.

The city&#8217;s famous Quay and the <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"River Market (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/rivermarket.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">River Market<\/a> make for an excellent place to spend a weekend afternoon, bordering on the Fraser River and home to plenty of local shops and seasonal events. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Queen's Park (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.newwestcity.ca\/parks-and-recreation\/parks\/community-parks\/articles\/5437.php\" target=\"_blank\">Queen&#8217;s Park<\/a> is another popular gathering spot for tourists and locals alike, with 75 acres of sprawling parkland as well as its own basketball, pickleball and tennis courts, walking\/running trails, and an indoor arena. The city is also just a 20-30 minute drive to Downtown Vancouver, or about 45 minutes by transit. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<br><h3 style=\"color: #fe5f55\">Who should live in New Westminster?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In short \u2013 everyone! New Westminster has plenty to offer, no matter your age or goals. The area has tons of elementary and secondary schools, daycare facilities, and parks which draw in families from around the Lower Mainland, especially combined with the city&#8217;s many activities and reputation for safety. For students, <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Douglas College (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.douglascollege.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">Douglas College<\/a> is one of the Lower Mainland&#8217;s largest colleges with over 17,000 students and offers a variety of programs as well as both on-campus housing and plenty of nearby rentals as well. Young professionals particularly adore New West for its <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"affordable rental rates (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/rental-listings\/city\/new-westminster\" target=\"_blank\">affordable rental rates<\/a>, proximity to larger cities like Burnaby and Vancouver, and tight-knit feel with plenty of entertainment, dining, recreation, shopping and other amenity options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"border: 5px solid aliceblue; text-align: center; margin: 20px 0%; padding: 20px\">\n<p style=\"font-size: 20px; color: #3E5B77; margin: 0;\"><strong><a href=\"#toc\">Back To Top<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<br><h2 id=\"average-rent\">Average rent in New Westminster<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"650\" src=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-09_New-Westminster-Neighbourhoods_1.png\" alt=\"average rent by new westminster neighbourhood for one bedroom, two bedroom, and three bedroom listings via liv rent\" class=\"wp-image-34793\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-09_New-Westminster-Neighbourhoods_1.png 800w, https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-09_New-Westminster-Neighbourhoods_1-300x244.png 300w, https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-09_New-Westminster-Neighbourhoods_1-768x624.png 768w, https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-09_New-Westminster-Neighbourhoods_1-100x80.png 100w, https:\/\/liv.rent\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/2022-02-09_New-Westminster-Neighbourhoods_1-270x220.png 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>New Westminster offers incredible value to renters, particularly in its Downtown and Brow of the Hill neighbourhoods.

With an easy walk to the riverside and Downtown as well, Brow of the Hill residents enjoy quick access to the very best of New Westminster. For families, Fraser River Middle School is in the center of the neighbourhood, and there are plenty of parks in close proximity. In addition to its rich history, Brow of the Hill has emerged as one of New Westminster&#8217;s most acccessible, convenient neighbourhoods for a variety of renter demographics. Douglas College is a mere 10 minute walk away, and Columbia Station is 15-20 minutes. The numerous shops, businesses, and public gathering places make for a tight-knit community that&#8217;s the perfect mix of affordable and desirable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"color: #7494ac\">Average apartment rent:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table><tbody><tr><td>1 Bed<\/td><td>2 Bed<\/td><td>3 Bed<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>$1,480<\/td><td>$1,915<\/td><td>$2,900<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"color: #7494ac\">Schools:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Brow of the Hill has a number of Elementary and Secondary Schools within its borders, as well as just beyond.

On the neighbourhood&#8217;s southern end closer to downtown is Fraser River Middle School.

New West is Western Canada&#8217;s oldest city after all, with a rich history as an incorporated city dating all the way back to 1860. Nowhere is this more evident than in New Westminster&#8217;s downtown. Heritage buildings are everywhere, and you&#8217;ll be hard-pressed to find a high-rise. Instead, the Downtown area is a popular destination for young families both local and visiting with plenty of <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"local shops (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/downtownnewwest.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\">local shops<\/a> as well as all the convenient shopping, dining and entertainment destinations one would expect of a modern downtown.

Fraser River Middle School is probably the closest, with Qayqayt Elementary School close by to provide an option for younger children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"color: #7494ac\">Transportation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Proximity to Downtown Vancouver:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>30-35 minutes by car to Vancouver City Centre<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>30-35 minutes by transit to Vancouver City Centre (5-minute walk to Columbia or New Westminster Stations, 25 minutes on Expo Line towards Waterfront Station) <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 style=\"color: #7494ac\">Sports &amp; recreation<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Downtown New West is steps from the Waterfront Esplanade Park that runs along the banks of the Fraser River.

The neighbourhood gets especially busy in the summer when people from around the city and beyond flock to Moody Park&#8217;s outdoor swimming pool to cool off.
