Living in Metrotown

Metrotown is Burnaby's principal downtown and one of Metro Vancouver's densest districts, centred on the region's largest shopping mall and a major SkyTrain station. It has drawn a wave of residential highrise construction around the town centre.

It occupies south-central Burnaby along Kingsway and Central Boulevard, west of Deer Lake and immediately east of Central Park.

Housing & property types

A high concentration of condominium and rental highrises has been built around the town centre, with more towers under construction.

Shopping & dining

Metropolis at Metrotown, one of Canada's largest shopping centres with hundreds of stores, is the retail heart, supplemented by additional retail along Kingsway and Central Boulevard.

Parks & recreation

Central Park lies just west, and the Bonsor Recreation Complex offers a pool, ice rink, gymnasium and fitness facilities in the heart of the district.

Getting around

Metrotown Station on the Expo Line, adjacent to the mall on Central Boulevard, is one of the busiest stations in the SkyTrain system.

Attractions & landmarks

Buying a home in Metrotown

BC's 2023 small-scale multi-unit housing legislation now allows three to four units on most single-family lots in larger municipalities, which is reshaping what detached lots are worth. Check the lot's current zoning with the municipality, and get a home inspection and a title search before removing subjects.

Budget for BC's property transfer tax on top of the price — it's charged on the purchase and first-time buyers and new builds may qualify for exemptions. See our BC & Alberta closing costs checklist.
