Burnaby sits right in the middle of Metro Vancouver, so downtown, the airport and the Fraser Valley are all within easy reach. Its town centres, Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed and Edmonds, are growing fast, with new towers, shopping and SkyTrain at the door.
Away from the towers, quiet streets in the Heights, Deer Lake and Burnaby Lake areas offer family homes with yards. Burnaby Mountain and SFU add green space and a university to the mix.
