Burnaby sits at the geographic heart of Metro Vancouver, offering an unbeatable combination of urban amenities, natural beauty, and relative affordability compared to Vancouver proper. Here's your insider guide.
Metrotown The commercial heart of Burnaby. Home to Metropolis at Metrotown (one of Canada's largest malls), excellent transit connections, and a rapidly growing condo market. Average condo price: $680K-$850K. Perfect for young professionals and investors.
Brentwood Vancouver's next downtown? The Brentwood neighbourhood is undergoing a massive transformation with The Amazing Brentwood development. New towers, shops, restaurants, and the SkyTrain station make this one of the hottest areas for growth. Average condo price: $700K-$900K.
Burnaby Heights A charming, walkable neighbourhood with a village feel. Independent shops and restaurants line Hastings Street. Mostly single-family homes with some duplexes. Average house price: $1.4M-$1.8M. Great for families.
Edmonds More affordable than Metrotown with excellent SkyTrain access. The Edmonds area offers a mix of condos, townhouses, and older homes. Average condo price: $550K-$700K. Strong rental demand makes it popular with investors.
Capitol Hill / Willingdon Heights Quiet residential neighbourhoods near BCIT and the Trans-Canada Highway. Good schools, parks, and relatively affordable single-family homes. Average house price: $1.3M-$1.6M.
