Metrotown

Burnaby’s downtown, anchored by Metropolis at Metrotown, one of Canada’s largest shopping centres, and a SkyTrain station that puts the entire region within reach. The skyline has shifted dramatically here over the last decade, with new towers rising on every corner of Kingsway and Beresford.

Metrotown buyers are a wide mix: first-timers using the affordability gap to enter the market, families who want a SkyTrain commute without paying Vancouver prices, and investors drawn to one of the strongest rental markets in Metro Vancouver. Inventory is dense and varied, from 1990s wood-frames east of Patterson to brand-new 50-storey concrete on Beresford.
