Streets climb from Bow Trail to 1,205 m and mix single-family crescents with condo complexes that have visitor stalls; on crescents the truck parks curbside.

The 1,905 households of 2021 were 29% single-detached, 10% semi-detached, 33% row houses and 29% apartments under five storeys. Some 31% of homes date from the 1980s and 51% from the 1990s, and the 1988 Olympic media village apartments were converted to condominiums, so multi-unit buildings outnumber houses.
Who moves in Patterson
Patterson had 4,145 residents in 2021, 71% in owner households, with a median household income of $93,000. The typical move is a two- or three-bedroom townhouse or condo in one of the hillside complexes, often a first-time buyer or a downsizer choosing the view over a larger house.
One tip for your Patterson move
Tell us the complex name and which building you are in, because the former media village and the townhouse courts have separate visitor lots and some parkades are too low for a truck; on icy days we come up from Bow Trail slowly, so allow a slightly later start than in a flat community.
