Living in Metrotown

Metrotown is Burnaby's geographic and commercial centre: Metropolis at Metrotown, BC's largest shopping mall, anchors a dense town centre served by two Skytrain stations (Metrotown and Patterson on the Expo Line). Central Park, a 90-acre urban park with tennis courts, a pitch-and-putt, stadium, and extensive trail network, forms the western edge. The neighbourhood is the densest in Burnaby with continued high-rise residential and mixed-use construction; ground-oriented streets sit just east and south of the town centre footprint, where older single-family lots are converting to half-duplexes and townhomes. Maywood Elementary, Marlborough Elementary, and Burnaby Central Secondary serve the school catchment.

Buyers for whom transit access and complete walkable daily amenities are the first criteria; first-generation immigrant families who are especially well-represented in the area's cultural makeup; and downtown Vancouver commuters who want to cross no bridge and have two-line Skytrain coverage from a single neighbourhood.

Metrotown ground-oriented inventory is genuinely sparse compared to its enormous condo supply, a scarcity that keeps pricing for the few available half-duplexes and townhomes firm and bidding conditions competitive. New-build duplex supply has grown but remains far below demand from buyers specifically targeting the Skytrain-and-mall combination.

Why buy a townhome in Metrotown

Metrotown townhomes are the rarer ground-oriented product in Burnaby's high-density centre. Two Skytrain stations, Metropolis at Metrotown's full retail scale, and Central Park access make this the densest amenity package outside downtown Vancouver. Most townhomes here run 1,100 to 1,500 sf and tend to be part of larger mixed-use stratas with shared amenities. Buyers are downtown commuters who want to skip the bridge, immigrant families with strong walkability priorities, and a growing share of investors holding for long-term Skytrain capital appreciation.

What to watch for when buying a townhome in Metrotown

Metrotown townhome stratas can be very large (50+ units in mixed-use buildings) with substantial shared amenities: monthly fees run higher than the Burnaby average and reflect the amenity load. Confirm what's actually included and check the management company's reputation. For mixed-use buildings (residential over commercial) read the strata bylaws carefully: some restrict short-term rentals or have higher insurance burdens.

The middle asking price of the townhomes listed in Metrotown, Burnaby today is $1,178,000. Asking prices run from $699,900 to $1,369,900. Greater Vancouver REALTORS publishes no price index for multiplex homes, so these figures come from the listings on this page. The price of each home depends on its size, its number of bedrooms, its street and whether it is new or a resale.

At $1,178,000, the middle asking price for a townhome in Metrotown, Burnaby today, the minimum down payment is $92,800. Under federal rules, a home under $1.5 million needs 5 percent of the first $500,000 and 10 percent of the rest, and a home at $1.5 million or more needs 20 percent, with no mortgage insurance available, according to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada.

A townhome in Metrotown is one home in a small building, with its own front door and its own kitchen, and often a yard or patio. Unlike a condo tower, there is no shared hallway or elevator. Most are sold as strata homes, so you hold title to your home and share the land and the outside of the building with the other owners, who also share the cost of looking after them.

Both appear on this page. Each listing shows the year the home was built. A new home built by a Licensed Residential Builder in British Columbia must carry home warranty insurance, which BC Housing describes as 2 years on materials and labour, 5 years on the building envelope and 10 years on the structure. For a resale home, read the strata documents before you make an offer: the bylaws, the minutes of recent owners' meetings and the budget.

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.

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.

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.

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.
