Burnaby's high-rise urban core.
Metrotown is Burnaby's high-rise urban core, anchored by Metropolis at Metrotown mall and dense condo development with direct SkyTrain access.
Whether you're searching for a home in Metrotown or thinking about listing one, local context matters — what a property is actually worth here, how quickly comparable homes have been moving, and which streets or buildings tend to hold their value. Manan works across both the residential and commercial sides of Metrotown's market and can walk you through what's realistic for your specific goals.

Schools, shopping, dining, and recreation in Metrotown.
Most fall within the Burnaby South Secondary catchment, which runs an IB Diploma Programme and French Immersion. Elementary feeders vary by exact address between Maywood, Marlborough, Twelfth Avenue, and Chaffey-Burke — confirm with SD41 Burnaby, since IB admission is an application stream, not automatic even for in-catchment students.
Central Park — 90 hectares including Swangard Stadium, a Pitch-and-Putt course, sports fields, and forest trails — sits right next to the high-rise core, an unusual combination at this density.
Yes. Manan Bhullar is a Surrey-based REALTOR® licensed in British Columbia, and he works with buyers and sellers in Metrotown, the rest of Burnaby, and neighbouring Vancouver, New Westminster, and Coquitlam — a BC licence covers the whole province. He can pull recent comparable sales, arrange viewings, and price and market a listing, drawing on his BBA in Marketing from SFU's Beedie School of Business. Because his practice also covers commercial and industrial real estate, he can help with an investment or business property in Metrotown too. Call or text (604) 727-9542.
Housing in Metrotown includes condos. For condos and townhomes, the strata documents — meeting minutes, the depreciation report, and the contingency reserve fund — deserve as much attention as the unit itself.
It depends on what you're after. Metrotown is best summed up as “Burnaby's high-rise urban core”, and it tends to suit a range of buyers depending on budget and lifestyle priorities. Visiting at different times of day and comparing it with nearby neighbourhoods is the best way to judge the fit.
Metrotown's home prices are tracked by Greater Vancouver Realtors (GVR), not the Fraser Valley board, so Fraser Valley benchmark figures aren't a fair comparison. Prices in Metrotown vary widely by property type, size, and age; recent sold comparables for the specific type of home you're considering are the reliable guide, and Manan can pull them for you.
