Nestled at the bottom of Burnaby Mountain, Forest Hills is a tree-filled residential neighbourhood with a mix of single-family homes and modern Burnaby condos for sale in townhouse developments. Lovers of the outdoors should find Forest Hills particularly appealing, as an escape to the wilderness if right outside your door.

There are both elementary and secondary schools in Forest Hills, making it a suitable neighbourhood for young families live and grow, plus Simon Fraser University is nearby. The closest shopping area is the Lougheed Town Centre to the south, with over 150 stores and services as well as links to local transit along the SkyTrain and TransLink routes. But the main appeal of the neighbourhood has to be Burnaby Mountain, which consists of a 332-hectare conservation area with hiking and biking trails, a nearby golf course and driving range, beautiful scenic points that offer spectacular west coast views, and more.

Forest Hills is considered a car-dependent neighbourhood, but there are transit links for commuters and day-trippers into Downtown Vancouver via the SkyTrain service at Production Way-University and Lake City Way.
