Neighbourhood guide

Living in South Slope

South Slope is a south-facing residential hillside in south Burnaby, below Metrotown, where many homes enjoy views over Marine Drive and the Fraser River. Deep ravine parks cut through the slope toward the river.

Location & boundaries

It lies south of Metrotown between Imperial Street and Marine Way, on the hill slope overlooking Marine Drive and the Fraser River, and is divided by several ravine parks.

Housing & property types

Housing is mostly single-family homes, with multi-family townhouses toward the north closer to Metrotown.

Parks & recreation

A series of deep ravine parks run down the slope toward the Fraser River, giving the area green corridors and trails.

The area is served by several elementary schools and Burnaby South Secondary, part of the Burnaby School District (School District 41), with BCIT just to the north.

Getting around

Metrotown Station and its bus exchange are a short trip north, and Marine Way and Imperial Street are the main road routes.

Buying a home in South Slope

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.
