About Metrotown

Metrotown is Burnaby's main downtown area, centred on Metropolis at Metrotown and Metrotown SkyTrain station. Central Park sits on its western edge.

Most homes are high-rise and mid-rise condos, with townhomes and detached homes on the surrounding streets. The area has seen a lot of new construction, so there's a wide range of building ages to compare.

It suits buyers who want transit, shopping and services within walking distance, and investors weighing rental demand near SkyTrain.

Metrotown questions

Is Metrotown a good place to buy a condo?

It's popular for its transit, shopping and services. Building age, strata health and fees vary a lot, so review strata documents carefully. Darell can help you compare buildings.

What should I check before buying a Metrotown presale or new condo?

Review the disclosure statement, deposit structure, completion timing and assignment rules, and have your lawyer or notary review the contract.

How do I price my Metrotown condo to sell?

Pricing depends on recent sales in your building and nearby, your unit's layout, view and condition, and current competition. Call, text or email Darell for a personal evaluation.
