SFU UniverCity

A mountaintop university town wrapped in forest, with big views and even bigger demand.

The Neighbourhood

Why people move to SFU UniverCity, and why they stay.

UniverCity is the sustainable community atop Burnaby Mountain beside Simon Fraser University, a compact town of concrete and woodframe homes ringed by conservation forest with panoramic views over the region.

It is investor and student-parent territory, with strong rental demand and entry pricing, plus faculty and downsizers who love the quiet and the trails. Inventory is mostly newer mid-rise concrete and woodframe with tight turnover.
