Living in Metrotown
Metrotown is the closest thing Burnaby has to a downtown: a dense, walkable town centre anchored by Metropolis at Metrotown — BC's largest shopping centre — with the Expo Line running through its heart and Central Park's 90 hectares of forest and trails on its western edge. Tens of thousands of residents live in the condo towers here, and the City of Burnaby's plans concentrate even more growth around the station.
Housing is overwhelmingly condo: everything from 1990s towers offering some of the best value per square foot in the inner region to brand-new buildings with resort-style amenities. A ring of townhomes and older low-rises sits between the towers and the single-family streets of nearby Maywood and Marlborough, giving buyers a genuine ladder from first condo to family home without leaving the area.
For buyers, Metrotown means convenience — SkyTrain, shopping, restaurants, and Central Park within a walk. For sellers and investors, the area's transit-oriented growth plans and rental demand keep the market deep, with well-priced units attracting steady interest even in slower markets.
