Location is everything.
Located just east of Vancouver, Burnaby is a city that combines urban convenience with natural beauty. It was the first to launch the SkyTrain system for Expo '86 - revolutionizing transit in the region and setting the stage for rapid, transit-oriented development. With 10 SkyTrain stations, Burnaby offers quick, car-free access to Vancouver, making it ideal for commuters and investors alike. Around each station, you’ll find a mix of high-density residential towers, commercial hubs, and community amenities.
Recognized by Maclean’s magazine as Canada’s best-managed city, Burnaby is known for its thoughtful planning, high livability, and balance between development and green space. Nature lovers will enjoy expansive parks like Deer Lake and Burnaby Lake, where you can spot herons, eagles, turtles, and even bobcats. Burnaby Mountain offers panoramic views, forested trails, and access to Simon Fraser University (SFU), while Barnet Marine Park delivers stunning oceanfront scenery against the backdrop of the North Shore Mountains.
With a wide variety of real estate options - condos, townhomes, and detached homes, Burnaby continues to attract families, professionals, and investors looking for strong value, excellent infrastructure, and a community-focused lifestyle just minutes from downtown Vancouver.
