We used to live on the south side of Lougheed right across from the mall on government/cardston
I actually loved the area and had a great time living there. The south side of Lougheed has zero future development planned so we were somewhat immune to the noise and construction. However, in burquitlam you're going to feel the full brunt of the future redevelopment of Lougheed mall (20+ towers in a 30 year span) traffic is going to become an absolute nightmare and getting onto the highway or south of Lougheed in north road will take forever.
What I liked about the area and Lougheed mall was that it was essentially dead all the time. That is going to change 1000% over the next few years. And far as as I could tell, the majority of people buying up the city of Lougheed developments, and the other surrounding towers were the type that let their dog shit in the elevators, etc
