Capitol Hill & North Burnaby Multiplex Guide (2026)

Capitol Hill, on the slopes of North Burnaby, is for buyers who want the view. Perched above Burrard Inlet with the North Shore mountains across the water, 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, view-rich setting, here's the rundown.

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

Capitol Hill sits in North Burnaby, just east of the Vancouver line, rising from the Hastings corridor toward Burnaby Mountain and Simon Fraser University. The north-facing streets catch sweeping inlet and mountain views, and the feel is calm and residential, close to parks and Burnaby Mountain's trails. In our view, it's one of the best value-for-view areas anywhere near the city.

What a multiplex home costs in Capitol Hill

Burnaby generally offers more home for the money than the city of Vancouver. The benchmark attached-home price across Greater Vancouver was $1,043,400 in April 2026, down 5.1% from a year earlier, per Greater Vancouver REALTORS, and listing data from Zolo currently shows townhome asking prices around $1.39 million (June 2026); the benchmark townhouse — a typical home's value — ran from about $852,000 in Burnaby East to roughly $1,005,700 in Burnaby South in April 2026 (Greater Vancouver REALTORS). The wider market is currently balanced.

In Capitol Hill, prices reflect the neighbourhood's quiet appeal and, especially, any inlet views — a home higher up the slope with a clear outlook commands more. Even so, North Burnaby generally undercuts comparable view-rich Vancouver areas, which is a big part of the draw.

Getting around

The neighbourhood is served by frequent buses along Hastings toward downtown Vancouver and across Burnaby, with SkyTrain a short hop away and easy access to Highway 1. 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 extensive trails close by. The combination of views, quiet streets, and nature makes it a natural place to settle. Choose a home with the bedrooms and storage your household needs.
