Neighbourhood guide
Living in The Heights
The Heights is an elevated residential neighbourhood in east New Westminster — the combined Massey and Victory Heights area — known for mid-century homes and views.
Location & boundaries
It occupies the south slope of the Westminster hills near the Burnaby border, on the high ground above Sapperton between roughly Eighth and Tenth Avenues. Massey Heights and Glenbrooke North adjoin it, with Sapperton below.
History
The area was developed largely in the post-war 1950s, when the Massey Heights and Victory Heights subdivisions filled with homes, many for returning Second World War veterans.
Lifestyle
It is a quiet, family-oriented neighbourhood of spacious lots.
Housing & property types
Housing is dominated by mid-century single-family homes, many on large lots, with newer rebuilds among them.
Schools
The New Westminster School District (SD40) serves the area.
Getting around
Buses serve the area, with the SkyTrain at Sapperton and Braid stations downhill to the south and east.
Who it may suit
It may suit families wanting a detached home on a larger lot with river and mountain views.

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.

Can non-Canadians buy a home in The Heights?
Generally not right now.

The ban has been extended before, so confirm its current status and get legal advice on your situation.
