Burnaby

Metrotown is Burnaby's largest and densest town centre, anchored by Metropolis at Metrotown with the greatest volume and variety of shopping. Brentwood, anchored by The Amazing Brentwood, is newer and more curated, with a self-contained mixed-use feel and strong transit connections via the Millennium Line.

Yes — Burnaby is home to both Simon Fraser University (on Burnaby Mountain) and BCIT, giving the city a genuine university-town character in parts, alongside established family neighbourhoods in North Burnaby and around Deer Lake.

A lot for a city this dense — Central Park's 90 hectares include a stadium, forest trails, and a pitch-and-putt course; Deer Lake and Burnaby Lake both offer extensive trail networks; and Burnaby Mountain provides hiking with regional views.

Yes. Given what Burnaby is known for, the opportunities that fit best are rental condos and multi-family buildings close to transit. Commercial financing works differently from a home mortgage, usually with a larger down payment and closer scrutiny of the property's income or your business, and for this kind of property the key checks are the rent roll, existing tenancies under BC's Residential Tenancy Act, and the building's condition. Manan handles commercial and industrial sales and leasing; his apartment building and retail guides go deeper on each property type.

Housing in Burnaby includes condos. For condos and townhomes, the strata documents — meeting minutes, the depreciation report, and the contingency reserve fund — deserve as much attention as the unit itself.

According to the September 2026 Greater Vancouver Realtors benchmarks (Burnaby falls within these board areas), typical prices were — Burnaby North: $1,808,500 for a detached home, $880,400 for a townhome, and $662,400 for an apartment or condo; Burnaby South: $1,894,600 for a detached home, $942,100 for a townhome, and $723,000 for an apartment or condo; Burnaby East: $1,694,900 for a detached home, $857,900 for a townhome, and $708,100 for an apartment or condo. Benchmarks describe a typical home, so a specific property can sit well above or below them depending on size, age, lot, and location; recent sold comparables are the reliable guide.
