Burnaby real estate: Metrotown, Brentwood and beyond.

Burnaby sits at the centre of Metro Vancouver, with SkyTrain lines running through its four town centres and a housing market that spans new high-rise towers, established townhome complexes and quiet detached neighbourhoods. It is a practical, well-connected choice for first-time buyers, growing families and investors alike.

Common Questions

Burnaby buyers and sellers ask.

Which Burnaby areas have the best transit access?

Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed are each built around SkyTrain stations, with Edmonds, Gilmore, Holdom and Sperling also well served. Proximity to a station is a consistent driver of condo demand.

Is Burnaby more affordable than Vancouver?

Generally, yes for comparable property types, though prices in the newest towers can match Vancouver. The difference is often greatest for townhomes and detached homes.

What should I check before buying a Burnaby condo?

Strata financials and minutes, depreciation report, rental and pet bylaws, parking and storage, and the age and history of the building envelope. I review these with you before an offer.
