Where to live in Burnaby
The city of Burnaby is located in the lower mainland of British Columbia just east of Vancouver. It has a population of 205,000 people and growing. Over 54% of people living in the city do not list English or French as their first language, highlighting the largely immigrant population.
Located in the economic hub of western Canada alongside Vancouver, the city is home to many major Canadian employers and top Canadian Universities and Colleges.
Finding an apartment in Burnaby to your liking is possible given the inventory and current vacancy rate. New purpose built rental housing along with some renters moving into home ownership is putting pressure on older apartments and is partly responsible for rising vacancy rates.
Like most western Canadian cities, the rental rates and quality of Burnaby apartments vary widely. Take your time when searching and the right property will present itself. You should be able to find what you’re looking for in the location you want.
Transportation Routes
As you can already tell, Burnaby offers excellent highway access. Downtown apartment dwellers have the option of getting to the QEW via North Shore Boulevard or by taking one of Brant Street or Guelph Line.
If you live in an apartment on the west side of the QEW you have the added benefit of being able to easily access Hwy 407. Note: Hwy 407 is a toll highway and can be rather costly to travel on. While it can be expensive to use, it does provide a fast and reliable route to locations in the north end of Toronto all the way to Oshawa.
