Triplexes for Sale in Highgate, Burnaby, BC

Living in Highgate

Highgate is south Burnaby's village node along Kingsway between Edmonds and Market Crossing, anchored by the Highgate Village retail centre — a community-scale shopping district with a grocery anchor, pharmacy, and restaurants. The Edmonds Skytrain station on the Expo Line sits about a 10-minute walk north, and the Central Valley Greenway provides a regional cycling corridor. Streets just off Kingsway have seen significant duplex and townhome infill as the neighbourhood's older single-family blocks convert. Byrne Creek Ravine Park runs through the south end — a forested ravine with trails that give the area an unexpected green edge for an urban shopping district. Schools include Stride Avenue Community School and Byrne Creek Secondary.

Value-driven family buyers for whom accessible pricing and walkable daily amenities are the primary factors, transit-reliant professionals who want Expo Line access without Metrotown pricing, and first-time multiplex purchasers — Highgate consistently delivers some of the most accessible new-build ground-oriented pricing in Burnaby.

Highgate has seen consistent new-build duplex and townhome activity, fuelled by lot values that sit below the Metrotown and Forest Glen average while maintaining Skytrain proximity. Pricing is among the more accessible in Burnaby for new ground-oriented homes, which attracts a wide buyer pool and keeps inventory moving.

Why buy a triplex in Highgate

Highgate triplexes are emerging in south Burnaby's most accessible-pricing village centre — the Highgate Village retail node, easy Skytrain access via Edmonds station, and the Byrne Creek park system create a compelling lifestyle package for both owner-occupiers and the tenants in the other two units. Units typically run 900 to 1,300 sf. The whole-building Highgate triplex is one of the most financially accessible whole-building entries into Burnaby's multiplex market, which attracts first-time investor families alongside the neighbourhood's established pattern of value-driven family purchasing.

What to watch for when buying a triplex in Highgate

Highgate has seen heavy concurrent multiplex supply across all formats — verify how many triplex units are in the immediate pipeline and how many comparable properties are currently listed before committing, since heavy competition keeps short-term resale pricing competitive. Pull the developer's prior triplex completions specifically; the triplex format is newer in Highgate than the duplex format and not all active builders have completed three-unit buildings you can inspect. Verify parking and rear-access configurations in writing — some Highgate triplex lots are compact and access arrangements matter more than buyers initially expect.
