Burnaby Acreages for Sale: your questions answered
Is Burnaby a buyers’ or sellers’ market?
In October 2026 houses in Burnaby had a sales ratio of 12%, which the reports’ scale reads as a balanced market, and condos and townhomes 13%, which the reports’ scale reads as a balanced market. On the reports’ scale under 12% favours buyers, 12% to 20% is balanced and over 20% favours sellers.
How many acreages are for sale in Burnaby?
The listing feed on this page shows what is active now, and the number changes daily. Ask Jared and he will send you the acreages in Burnaby that match what you want.
Can Jared alert me when acreages come up in Burnaby?
Yes. Tell him the area, price range and must-haves and he will alert you the day a match is listed.
Where can I see all Burnaby homes?
The Burnaby homes for sale page covers every home type, and the Burnaby market stats page has the monthly figures.
Who is Jared Gibbons?
Jared is a REALTOR® and Personal Real Estate Corporation with Royal LePage Little Oak Realty, working across the Fraser Valley and Metro Vancouver. You can call or text him at 604-928-1361.
Is there a normal acreage market in Burnaby?
No, not in the way there is in Langley or Maple Ridge. Burnaby's acreage is concentrated in Big Bend, where the City protects about 550 acres of ALR land for farming and limits residential development to preserve it. A buyer is usually buying a farm or nursery parcel with a house as an accessory use, and should expect ALC rules, farm neighbours and floodplain checks to drive the purchase, not subdivision potential.
Can I subdivide a Big Bend farm?
Assume no until the City and the ALC say otherwise in writing. The former A-district rules required 220,000 square metres for a new lot inside the ALR, and the Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan (OCP) policy is to protect farmland and ensure farming is the main use by limiting residential development and matching bylaws to ALC rules.
Can I build a second detached house?
Only within the ALR housing limits if the City also permits it. The ALC permits a principal residence up to 500 square metres, a secondary suite inside that residence, and an additional small residence in defined circumstances; a separate detached building is not a secondary suite under the ALC definition.
Is the land flood-prone?
Yes, Big Bend is Fraser River floodplain protected by a dike, so flood construction and insurance checks are essential. Metro Vancouver's flood-project table records Burnaby's Fraser River dike upgrade raising the dike to 3.9 metres, with the Reach 8 section between Glenlyon and Byrne creeks as the last major upgrade.

Burnaby Acreages: streets and boundaries
- Burnaby's acreage is almost entirely in Big Bend in south Burnaby, not scattered across the city. The City describes a small but productive agricultural area in Big Bend, plus farms in the rural residential Riverside neighbourhood.
- Big Bend sits in the Fraser River bend below the South Slope, around Marine Drive, Marine Way, Byrne Road and Meadow Avenue. The City's farm-tour and agriculture work is centred on that district, not on Burnaby's town centres.
- About 550 acres in Big Bend are in the provincial Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR). A City agricultural land review gave a more detailed split: about 461 acres zoned agricultural, of which about 362 acres are in the ALR, with the rest in Riverside.
Burnaby Acreages: the housing stock
- The parcel fabric is farm parcels, nurseries and greenhouses, not estate subdivisions. The City lists Big Bend uses as small farms, nurseries and other agricultural operations, and its farm tour covers plants, vegetables, vendors and nurseries.
- That absence is itself the point: this page is about working farm parcels in A-zoned land, not a suburban acreage enclave.
- Part of the ALR fabric is not private farmland at all. The City review notes the 170-acre Riverway Golf Course and the 43-acre Marshland Avenue Bog Forest are also in the ALR but zoned for park and public use.
Burnaby Acreages: rules that affect buyers
- A single new A1 Agriculture District now governs these lands. Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 2026, in effect July 1, 2026, consolidated the former A1 Agricultural, A2 Small Holdings and A3 Truck Gardening districts into one A1 district.
- Agriculture must be real, not token, to count as the principal use. The new A1 summary states agriculture must occupy at least 30% of a lot, shown by an agriculture plan, and residential use is accessory to farming.
- It set a minimum lot size by subdivision of 220,000 square metres within the ALR and 5,000 square metres outside it, with minimum widths of 114 metres and 37 metres respectively — check the current 2026 bylaw before relying on those figures.
- ALR housing is capped provincially wherever the parcel is in the ALR. The Agricultural Land Commission (ALC) allows one principal residence of 500 square metres or less, a suite inside it, and in some cases one additional residence, with local bylaws able to be stricter.
Burnaby Acreages: local details a buyer would not know
- Burnaby 2050 was adopted in December 2025, so older A2 and A3 zoning labels on old documents no longer match current zoning. The City states the 2026 Zoning Bylaw introduced the consolidated A1 district to implement that OCP.
- If Riverway Golf Course is ever redeveloped, City policy limits it to agriculture, parks and conservation. That policy, stated in the Burnaby 2050 agriculture directions, removes a common speculation story for nearby parcels.
- The City is considering an Agricultural Plan and an Agricultural Advisory Committee for Big Bend. Those are policy directions in Burnaby 2050, not yet a separate approval a buyer can rely on.
- Development next door can hurt farming soil and drainage, and City policy says it will assess that impact. A buyer planning non-farm buildings should expect drainage questions, not just setbacks.
Burnaby Acreages: development and new projects
- The Big Bend entries in that list are industrial rezonings, for example REZ #16-34, Beedie Development Group, 5115 North Fraser Way, for a light industrial multi-tenant building, at second reading in 2020.
- Another Big Bend entry is REZ #19-11, a portion of 5085 North Fraser Way, for a light industrial and office building, shown as final adoption on June 10, 2025.
Burnaby Acreages: costs and taxes
- Burnaby's total residential tax rate was 2.97749 per $1,000 of assessed value in the City's historical table. The City portion was 1.55649, with school at 1.01300 and TransLink at 0.31410 making up most of the rest.
- Farm-class land is taxed differently from residential land on the same table. The City's historical table shows a separate Farm property class; a buyer must confirm BC Assessment farm classification for the specific parcel rather than assume the residential rate.
- For 2026 the City approved a 2.9% property tax increase, 0% for water and 3.5% for sewer, plus a 1.9% Growth Infrastructure Investment Levy. Those are citywide figures, stated in its 2026–2030 Financial Plan announcement.
Burnaby Acreages: getting around
- Big Bend is a driving district, reached by Marine Drive and Marine Way from the South Slope. The City's own agriculture material places the farms in south Burnaby close to town centres and transportation routes, but no SkyTrain station serves the farm parcels.
- The Fraser Foreshore and dike area is the walking and cycling edge of the district. Metro Vancouver's flood table identifies the dike reach between Glenlyon and Byrne creeks, which is the river edge below the farm roads.
Burnaby Acreages: risks and due diligence
- Flood and dike protection is the first check for any Big Bend parcel. Ask for the flood construction level and confirm the parcel's position relative to the Fraser River dike upgraded to 3.9 metres in the Metro Vancouver project table.
- Check ALR status parcel by parcel before discussing housing or subdivision. The ALC housing page states local governments may further restrict ALR residences, and Burnaby's A1 district distinguishes ALR from non-ALR land inside the same zone.
- Soil and drainage are working-farm issues here, not abstract environmental points. Burnaby 2050 policy states development can impact soil quality and drainage and make land harder to farm.
