About Metrotown

Metrotown is Burnaby’s downtown in fast-forward: a dense, transit-first hub anchored by Metropolis at Metrotown, stitched together by SkyTrain entrances, protected bike lanes, and a steady current of foot traffic along Kingsway and Central Boulevard. What was once a mall-centred suburb has matured into a true city centre—high-rises rising beside mid-century walk-ups, with civic spaces like Bonsor and the Burnaby Public Library adding a public-facing heartbeat to the glass-and-concrete skyline.

The neighbourhood’s diversity shows up on every block, from Cantonese bakeries and Korean BBQs to bubble tea counters and family-run services tucked into podium retail. You’ll meet young professionals who commute downtown in minutes, downsizers who want elevator living near amenities, and newcomers who value the convenience of a walkable grid where groceries, schools, and recreation are all close at hand. Even with the density, there are pockets of calm—tree-lined side streets, small parks, and community facilities that keep the area livable beyond the shopping district.

Real estate here is defined by choice and change: newer strata towers with amenities and views, modern purpose-built rentals, and older low-rise apartments that often trade at different price points and attract investors and first-time buyers. Demand tracks transit access and building age—steps to the station, newer construction, and well-run strata councils tend to command premiums—while the constant development pipeline keeps the neighbourhood evolving. With a Walk Score around 97, Metrotown’s value proposition is simple: own less car, live more city.

Market pulse

Metrotown currently has 387 active for-sale listings with a median asking price of $795,000 and an average asking value of $935 per sq ft, suggesting pricing remains firm while offering a broad range of options.
