Side by Side Duplexes for Sale in Burnaby With 3 Bedrooms and a Yard (2026)

On October 28, 2026, four new duplex homes for sale in Burnaby said in their listing that they are side by side, and listed 3 bedrooms or more and a yard. They are the two halves of 7061 Paulus Crescent in Montecito, 8029 MacPherson Avenue in South Slope and 831 Holdom Avenue in Parkcrest, asking $1,899,000 to $2,098,000. All four show on our Burnaby duplex page, and Gary Paul, our agent for Burnaby, can book showings.

Other duplex homes on that page may be side by side too, because most listings do not say.

How we counted

We read all 62 Active Burnaby listings filed as "Half Duplex" at 12:13 AM PT. No field in the MLS® record names the layout, so we read each one's text. Of the 62, 24 are in buildings of three or four homes, going by the record's count of homes, the text, or another listing at the same street address. That leaves 38 duplex homes. All 38 give 2025, 2026 or 2027 as the year built, and all list 3 bedrooms or more.

Six of the 38 say "side by side" about the home itself. We left out uses such as "side by side washer and dryer". Two say front and back, and 30 name no layout. Four of the six list a yard, counting the record's "Private Yard" box or a yard in the text.

Both halves of 1065 Ridley Drive in Sperling-Duthie also say side by side, at $2,198,000 each. Their records list a patio and a deck but no yard, so ask what outdoor space comes with each.

The four homes

• 7061 Paulus Crescent, home 1: $2,098,000, 2,940 square feet, 7 bedrooms, built 2026.
• 7061 Paulus Crescent, home 2: $2,098,000, 2,956 square feet, 7 bedrooms, built 2026.
• 831 Holdom Avenue: $1,999,000, 2,937 square feet, 5 bedrooms, a pre-sale the listing says is coming in summer 2027.
• 8029 MacPherson Avenue, home 2: $1,899,000, 2,554 square feet, 5 bedrooms, built 2026.

Angell, Hasman & Associates Realty Ltd. lists the Paulus and Holdom homes, and RE/MAX Select Properties lists MacPherson.

The middle asking price is $2,048,500, the average of the two middle homes, and the middle price per square foot is $712. All four describe a suite: Paulus calls it an authorized rental suite, Holdom an authorized suite below, and MacPherson a 1 bedroom legal suite.

Three of the four are filed as non-strata. MacPherson is a strata home with a $0 fee on record. Under section 13 of the Strata Property Act, the company that created the strata must give you an interim budget, with each home's monthly share for the first 12 months, before you sign. Ask for it. Our $1.4 million comparison covers fees.

The down payment

All four ask $1.5 million or more. At that price the minimum down payment is 20 percent, according to the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. By our calculation, that is $409,700 at the middle price of $2,048,500. See our guide to buying a home over $1.5 million.

Where to look, and what each tool can do

• Our Burnaby duplex page shows all 62 "Half Duplex" listings with price, size and brokerage. It has no layout or yard filter.
• Our home search filters by type, price, bedrooms, size, year built and parking: set Burnaby, duplex, 3 bedrooms and 2025. It has no layout or yard filter, and its text box finds only an address or an MLS® number.
• REALTOR.ca shows the same MLS® listings.
• Gary Paul, REALTOR®, Personal Real Estate Corporation, of Grand Central Realty, lists 3 of the 38: 4315 Albert Street, 5459 Forglen Drive and 6992 Burford Street, whose listing ended on October 29, 2026. None names its layout, and none is among the 6 side by side homes.

Of the 30 that name no layout, 15 list a yard. In our view, if the yard matters more to you than the layout, see those 15 too.

Six more listings call their home side by side but sit in buildings of three or four homes, such as 7087 Mary Avenue, so we left them out. For room for parents, see our count of Burnaby homes for two generations.

Questions buyers ask

What does side by side mean?

The two homes stand next to each other and share one wall. Each home has its own floors from the bottom of the building to the top.

How do I check a listing that does not say?

Ask the listing agent for the floor plan, which shows where your home sits in the building. Our team can ask for you.

Does the bedroom count include the suite?

Yes. At 7061 Paulus Crescent, the record lists 4 bedrooms above the basement and 3 in it, for 7.

Will the list change by the time I buy?

Yes. This is a count from one day. Homes sell, and prices change.

Next step

If one of these homes fits your family, talk to our team. Gary will check the layout and the yard with each listing agent and book showings.
