Townhomes for Sale in Willingdon Heights, Burnaby, BC

Living in Willingdon Heights

Willingdon Heights sits between Brentwood Town Centre to the west and Burnaby Heights' Hastings Street commercial strip to the east — a grid neighbourhood of post-war and mid-century homes that has seen substantial multiplex infill as Brentwood's development pressure spills into adjacent blocks. The Confederation Park system, a large civic green space, runs along the northern edge. Hastings Street's independent shops, bakeries, and restaurants are a short walk; the Millennium Line at Brentwood Town Centre station is about a 15-minute walk. Schools include Confederation Park Elementary and Burnaby North Secondary.

Buyers who want Brentwood's Millennium Line access and the Amazing Brentwood mall proximity without the construction noise or high-rise density of the town centre itself; families upgrading from Brentwood condos; and view-aware buyers chasing partial Burrard Inlet views on the higher streets toward Confederation Park.

Willingdon Heights has produced strong new-build duplex and townhome inventory, with pricing that benefits from spillover demand from Brentwood while remaining noticeably more accessible. The gap between Willingdon Heights and Brentwood pricing on comparable product is typically 10 to 15 percent, a spread that draws buyers priced out of the town centre.

Why buy a townhome in Willingdon Heights

Willingdon Heights townhomes get the spillover demand from Brentwood Town Centre — buyers who want the Millennium Line access and the Amazing Brentwood mall proximity without paying full Brentwood prices or living in a construction zone. Most units run 1,300 to 1,700 sf with rooftop decks more common than ground-level yards, reflecting the neighbourhood's denser residential grid. The higher streets toward the Confederation Park northern edge pick up partial Burrard Inlet and downtown Vancouver views that add a meaningful lifestyle premium for a subset of buyers. Confederation Park's trail system is walking distance; Hastings Street's independent shops are a short walk south; the Burnaby North Secondary catchment serves families staying for the school years.

What to watch for when buying a townhome in Willingdon Heights

Willingdon Heights has had concentrated new townhome construction across several consecutive blocks, driven by Brentwood spillover demand — verify what's planned on adjacent lots and how any active construction will affect daily access, light, and noise during your ownership window. Pull the specific developer's prior projects before writing; townhome strata quality here varies meaningfully between builders. Confirm parking allocation in writing; some lots have lane access constraints from the neighbourhood's post-war street grid that limit turning radius for larger vehicles.
