About Austin Heights
Austin Heights is identified in Coquitlam’s neighbourhood planning framework around Austin Avenue.
- Use current city documents to understand proposed change, then examine the condition and practical layout of each home on your shortlist.
What to check on a visit
Visit the property from the route you would use most often.
- Check stairs, slopes and outdoor access instead of judging everything from the main entrance.
- For an older house, ask about major systems, documented renovations and the next expected maintenance items.
Questions to ask before buying
A renovation-ready home needs two budgets: one for the purchase and one for work.
- Have likely costs and approval requirements assessed before assuming you can make a particular change.
- Compare the result with a home that already meets your essential needs.
