Also known as Burnaby Heights, this prestigious, residential neighbourhood is a great choice for families at all stages, whether established or new homeowners. There are many Vancouver condos for sale in The Heights, most of which are unique mid-rise buildings and townhouse style units.

Since the early 1900s, the intersection of Boundary Road and Hastings Street has been the neighbourhood centre for street-level community shopping and dining, and the small-town vibe of the commercial offerings remains today. Each year, the shop owners host a celebration called Hats Off Day in appreciation of their customers, friends, and families. This huge family-friendly event, which features a parade and street party, is the perfect example of the neighbourhood’s welcoming, community character.

For trips around the neighbourhood, there is local bus service, while Hastings Street and the SkyTrain (from Brentwood Town Centre) provide direct routes into Downtown Vancouver. And if you want to go further, Highway 1 takes you across the Iron Workers Memorial Bridge for trips into North Vancouver.

For groceries or a pharmacy you'll likely need to hop into your car as there is not much nearby.

Getting around the area will require a vehicle, as there are no nearby transit stops.
