Burnaby’s urban centres at Metrotown, Brentwood and Lougheed Town Centre are all undergoing significant development, adding tens of thousands of homes to the city and additional shops, services and amenities. Throughout the city, it is quite common to find well-maintained post-war homes and redeveloped modern homes side-by-side, testimony to residents’ desire to live their entire lives in the city. Enclaves abound, from quiet tree-lined streets to planned townhouse developments, and many hidden gems reveal themselves as you travel through the city’s neighbourhoods.
