What a multiplex home costs in Lougheed

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.

Lougheed is among the more attainable urban pockets in Burnaby, anchored by a mix of new homes. Townhomes here suit families seeking more space without a detached price, and the area's value plus connectivity is a big part of the draw for buyers weighing Burnaby against pricier alternatives.

Getting around: two SkyTrain lines

This is the headline. The Lougheed Town Centre station connects both the Millennium and Expo lines, so the Expo Line runs straight to downtown Vancouver or Surrey and the Millennium Line to Coquitlam, all from one station. Frequent buses and major roads add to the reach. For commuters, few addresses are this connected.

• Value-focused families who want more space and amenities without a detached price.

How to buy a brand-new multiplex here

Brand-new duplexes, triplexes, and fourplexes are appearing across Lougheed and northeast Burnaby 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.
