On October 28, 2026, our copy of the MLS® listings, which holds homes built in 2025 or later, had 9 homes for sale on our Capitol Hill page, which covers the Capitol Hill and Westridge areas, asking $1,499,900 to $3,380,000. None of the nine was listed by Gary or by his brokerage, Grand Central Realty.

We corrected this post on October 31, 2026. An earlier version gave April 2026 prices, an asking price from a listing website and a usual pre-sale deposit, with no source we could open. The figures below are Greater Vancouver REALTORS' September 2026 benchmarks and our own count of October 28, 2026.

Capitol Hill, on the slopes of North Burnaby, is for buyers who want the view. It sits above Burrard Inlet with the North Shore mountains across the water, and it's quiet, established and close to nature, yet minutes from the city. For families after a brand-new multiplex home (a duplex, triplex or fourplex with a private door) in a peaceful setting with a view, here is what to know.

Where Capitol Hill is, and what it's like to live there

Capitol Hill sits in North Burnaby, rising from the Hastings Street shops toward Burnaby Mountain and Simon Fraser University. Streets on the north slope can look out over the inlet and the mountains, and the feel is calm and residential, close to parks and Burnaby Mountain's trails. In our view, it's one of the best areas near the city for a view at its price.

What a multiplex home costs in Capitol Hill

On October 28, 2026, the 9 homes on our Capitol Hill page had a middle asking price of $1,690,000:

• Half duplexes (3): two at 4730 Pandora Street at $2,399,000 each, with 6 bedrooms, and one at 7521 Pandora Drive at $3,380,000, with 8 bedrooms, which gives 2027 as the year built.
• Townhouses (3): at 7275 Ridge Drive, two at $1,499,999 and one at $1,699,999.
• Triplex homes (2): at 4828 Albert Street, at $1,499,900 and $1,575,000, each with 5 bedrooms.
• Fourplex home (1): at 7046 Sierra Drive, at $1,690,000, with 4 bedrooms.

Greater Vancouver REALTORS (GVR) publishes no price index for duplexes or multiplexes, and its report notes that its townhouse category does not include duplexes. Its September 2026 benchmarks for Burnaby North, for typical homes of any age, were $880,400 for a townhouse and $1,808,500 for a detached house, both lower than a year earlier. Vancouver West's were $1,298,500 and $2,916,100.

In Capitol Hill, prices reflect the neighbourhood's quiet appeal and any inlet views: a home higher up the slope with a clear outlook can cost more. In our view, North Burnaby is a lower-priced choice than Vancouver's west side for a family that wants a view.

Getting around

Buses run along Hastings Street toward downtown Vancouver and across Burnaby, the nearest SkyTrain stations are on the Millennium Line to the south, and Highway 1 is close by. It's more car-oriented than a town-centre address, which suits its quiet, view-focused character.

Schools, parks, and families

Capitol Hill is an established family area with neighbourhood schools, parks and Burnaby Mountain's trails close by. Check the schools for an exact address with the Burnaby School District before you buy. Choose a home with the bedrooms and storage your household needs.

Who Capitol Hill suits

• View seekers who want inlet and mountain outlooks for less than a Vancouver West price.
• Nature lovers who want Burnaby Mountain's trails minutes from home.
• Families who prize calm: the streets here are quiet and established.
• Buyers leaving Vancouver who want more home and a view just across the line.

How to buy a brand-new multiplex here

New duplexes, triplexes and fourplexes are appearing across Capitol Hill and North Burnaby because recent provincial housing rules allowed several homes on lots that used to allow only a single house. Some sell as pre-sales, before the home is finished; on October 28, 2026, one of the 9 homes gave 2027 as the year built. The deposit and its dates are set in each contract.

In a strata of 4 or fewer homes, you can cancel within 3 business days after the seller accepts by paying 0.25% of the price (Property Law Act, section 42). Talk to our team about what's for sale.
