Living in Burnaby Heights

Burnaby Heights is the strip along Hastings Street from Boundary east to about Willingdon, with views of Burrard Inlet from the higher streets. The Hastings commercial spine has a distinctly village feel — long-running family shops, bakeries, and restaurants. Streets are quiet, mostly post-war, with steady new infill. Schools include Capitol Hill Elementary and Burnaby North Secondary.

Buyers who want a village-feel neighbourhood with strong walkability and views, often professional households or downsizers staying in north Burnaby.

Burnaby Heights duplex pricing has historically been a step below Vancouver's Hastings-Sunrise (which it borders) and a step above central Burnaby — a sweet spot for value with quality.

Why buy a duplex in Burnaby Heights

Burnaby Heights half-duplexes get the village feel plus partial views on higher streets. Most run 1,700 to 2,200 sf with a small yard. The Hastings Street commercial walk; views of Burrard Inlet and the North Shore mountains; and a price point materially below the Vancouver side of Hastings make this a strong value play. Buyers are families upgrading from condos, professionals wanting views without high-rise living, and downsizers staying in north Burnaby.

Buyer questions about duplexes in Burnaby Heights

There are 11 active MLS® duplexes listed for sale in Burnaby Heights, Burnaby on MultiLiving right now. The list updates daily as agents add or remove listings from the MLS® feed, so the count and every price you see reflect what's currently on the market, not a cached snapshot. You can sort by price, filter by bedroom count, or save the search to receive email alerts whenever a new duplex appears in Burnaby Heights. Some duplexes in this area are sold pre-construction before hitting MLS® — MultiLiving lists those pre-sale options too, so you see inventory other listing sites miss. MultiLiving's own agent team also tracks new-build multiplex projects across Burnaby directly with local developers, which is how some duplexes appear here before they reach the general public MLS® search.
The median asking price for duplexes currently listed in Burnaby Heights, Burnaby is $1,579,000. Most duplexes in Burnaby Heights, Burnaby are brand new construction, so prices reflect current land and building costs in Burnaby. Final sale prices on new builds are often within 2–5% of the asking price. Owner-occupied buyers can use CMHC-insured mortgages with as little as 5% down on the first $500,000 of the price (10% on the portion above, on homes up to $1.5M), and lenders can count 50% of projected rental income from the other units toward your qualifying income — which meaningfully lowers the effective cost of entry.
A duplex (also called a half duplex) in Burnaby Heights is a ground-oriented home with its own front door, private outdoor space, and typically two or three storeys above grade. Compared to a condo, you get more living space, no shared building corridors, and land ownership directly under your unit — no strata tower management. Compared to a detached house in Burnaby, you get a lower purchase price because the land cost is shared across the duplex's units. Under BC Bill 44 (2024), most lots in Burnaby Heights now allow duplex-scale development, which is expanding the supply of brand new ground-oriented homes.
Most duplexes listed in Burnaby Heights, Burnaby are brand new construction or recently completed under BC's Bill 44 small-scale multi-unit housing rules (in force June 2024). New builds typically come with a 2-5-10 BC Home Warranty, and first-time buyers purchasing new construction qualify for 30-year amortization on CMHC-insured mortgages (versus 25 years for resales). Resale duplexes also appear when listed — look for "year built" on individual listings to distinguish new from resale, and ask your agent to pull the strata documents and depreciation report on any resale over five years old.
