Thank you for the update. After looking through the plans, I would be shocked if this building doesn't turn into a 100% student party zone...

You're probably referring to the old single family home area directly north of Lougheed Highway. It's pretty crummy, but still nothing like what you'd find in parts of New Wesminster or Surrey... And it's all zoned for low-rise condos and townhomes, with some very high-quality infill redevelopment currently taking place. As for the rest, drive (or StreetView) around some more... Everything south of Pitt River is perfectly decent, with Citadel Heights possibly the highest-quality sprawl development in the region. In the North, Riverwood (large 1990's development around Costco) is pretty good, and the older areas progressively improve and reach a very high standard just south of the border with Coquitlam.
But hey, Poco's undeserved bad reputation helped my family afford a house here as opposed to Coquitlam, so I shouldn't complain too much about that statement
