Burnaby

Burnaby sits right in the centre of Metro Vancouver, sharing borders with Vancouver, New Westminster, Coquitlam, and Port Moody. With a population of roughly 260,000, it's BC's third-largest city and arguably the most strategically located.

The city is organized around four town centres — Metrotown, Brentwood, Lougheed, and Edmonds — each anchored by SkyTrain and rapidly densifying with high-rise condos, office towers, and amenities. Outside the town centres, neighbourhoods like Burnaby Heights, Buckingham, and Deer Lake offer character homes and quieter streets.

Burnaby is also home to SFU and BCIT, two of BC's most important post-secondary institutions, which keeps rental demand strong and supports long-term investor returns.
