About Edmonds
Edmonds is south-east Burnaby's town centre, anchored by the Edmonds Skytrain station on the Expo Line and the Highgate Village retail node just south along Kingsway. Streets mix newer townhome and duplex developments with older single-family blocks. The Central Valley Greenway, a regional trail linking New Westminster to Burnaby Lake, threads through the area and provides cycling access to downtown New Westminster in about 20 minutes. Burnaby Lake Regional Park is a short drive north. Daily shopping centres on the Highgate Village complex, with a grocery anchor, restaurants, and services. Schools include Edmonds Community School, Stride Avenue Community School, and Byrne Creek Secondary.
Family buyers for whom transit access and accessible pricing outweigh neighbourhood prestige, first-time multiplex purchasers making their first ground-oriented purchase inside Metro Vancouver, and households commuting to New Westminster, Surrey, or downtown via the Expo Line who want to minimize drive time and bridge crossings.
Edmonds has seen heavy new-build townhome and duplex activity in recent years, driven by the combination of Expo Line access and lot prices that sit well below central Burnaby. Pricing is among the more accessible in the Lower Mainland for new ground-oriented homes near rapid transit, which keeps the buyer pool broad and resale liquidity reasonable.

What is it like to live in Edmonds?
Edmonds is south-east Burnaby's town centre, anchored by the Edmonds Skytrain station on the Expo Line and the Highgate Village retail node just south along Kingsway. Streets mix newer townhome and duplex developments with older single-family blocks. The Central Valley Greenway, a regional trail linking New Westminster to Burnaby Lake, threads through the area and provides cycling access to downtown New Westminster in about 20 minutes.

Can I get a 30-year mortgage on a new home in Edmonds?
Often, yes. Since December 15, 2024, an insured mortgage can run for 30 years instead of 25 when your down payment is under 20 percent and either you are a first-time buyer or the home is newly built, according to the Department of Finance Canada. A brand new multiplex home meets the second test, so a buyer who has owned before can still qualify. The longer term lowers each monthly payment and raises the total interest you pay over the life of the loan.
Can I rent out a multiplex home in Edmonds?
Yes. Since November 24, 2022, no strata in British Columbia can have a bylaw that stops owners from renting out their home, according to the Province of BC. That covers almost every multiplex home, because most are sold as strata homes. A strata can still limit or ban short-term rentals, such as nightly stays, with a three-quarter vote of owners, so read the bylaws before you plan on that kind of rental.
Do I pay property transfer tax on a new home in Edmonds?
Often not. British Columbia's Newly Built Home Exemption removes property transfer tax on a newly built home worth up to $1,100,000, with a partial exemption up to $1,150,000, according to the Province of BC. You must be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, move in within 92 days, and live there as your main home for the first year. Above $1,150,000 you pay the normal tax, which on a $1,400,000 home is $26,000.
Is there a GST rebate for first-time buyers in Edmonds?
Yes, if you are a first-time buyer. The first-time home buyers' GST/HST rebate returns up to $50,000 of the GST on a brand new home priced at or below $1 million, according to the Canada Revenue Agency. Between $1 million and $1.5 million the rebate gets smaller, and at $1.5 million it is gone. The home must be your main home, and you must not have lived in a home that you or your spouse owned in the current year or the four years before.
How do I buy a multiplex home in Edmonds?
Start with a mortgage pre-approval, so you know the price you can pay. Then look through the homes in Edmonds on this page and save the ones you like. Before you make an offer on a strata home, read its bylaws, the minutes of recent owners' meetings and the budget, which show the monthly fee and any planned repairs.
