Hastings-Sunrise Multiplex Buyer's Guide: East Van With an Inlet View (2026)

Hastings-Sunrise is East Vancouver at its most neighbourly — tree-lined streets where kids play, local shops along Hastings, and views toward Burrard Inlet and the mountains. For families who want a brand-new multiplex home (a duplex, triplex, or fourplex with a private door) at a friendlier price than the west side, it's one of the best-value family neighbourhoods in the city. Here's the rundown.

Where Hastings-Sunrise is, and what it's like to live there

Hastings-Sunrise sits in the northeast corner of Vancouver, sloping toward the inlet, with East Hastings Street as its main commercial strip and the PNE fairgrounds and Hastings Park at its edge. The character is distinctly residential and family-oriented — gardens, quiet streets, and a real sense of community. In our view, it's the east side's best blend of views, value, and neighbourliness.

What a multiplex home costs in Hastings-Sunrise

Across Greater Vancouver, the benchmark price for an attached home — the category covering townhouses and similar attached homes — was $1,043,400 in April 2026, down 5.1% from a year earlier, according to Greater Vancouver REALTORS. The same report showed a balanced market, which means more choice and more room to negotiate than buyers had a couple of years ago.

Hastings-Sunrise is more attainable than the west side. Listing data from Zolo (as of June 2026) put townhomes currently listed for sale at an average asking price around $1.68 million across a wide range, with half-duplex homes commonly listed between roughly $900,000 and $1.4 million. Those are asking prices: the typical Vancouver East townhouse was valued at $1,026,200 in April 2026, down 8% from a year earlier. With a strong walk score and a true neighbourhood feel, it's a lot of home for the money.

Getting around

The neighbourhood scores well for transit, with frequent buses along Hastings toward downtown and across the east side, plus easy access to the highway and the North Shore. It's walkable for daily errands along Hastings, and many households here live with one car.

Schools and families

Families are drawn here for the schools, parks, and quieter streets. Hastings Elementary is a popular catchment, including for its French Immersion program, and Hastings Park offers green space close to home. Pick a unit with the bedrooms and storage your family needs.

How to buy a brand-new multiplex here

Brand-new duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes are appearing across Hastings-Sunrise and East Vancouver because recent provincial housing rules opened up small-scale homes on lots that used to allow only a single house. Many sell as pre-sales — you reserve before completion, usually starting with a deposit around 5% of the price, and get first pick of floor plans. The newest homes often sell quietly, so get on the early list and talk to our team about what's coming.
