Jared's take on Forest Hills, Burnaby

Forest Hills condos and townhomes: your questions answered

How many condos and townhomes are for sale in Forest Hills?

The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® counted 6 condos and townhomes listed in Forest Hills at the end of October 2026. The number changes daily, so ask Jared for today’s count.

Is Forest Hills a buyers’ or sellers’ market for condos and townhomes?

In October 2026, condos and townhomes in Forest Hills had a sales ratio of 33% on only 6 listed, too few to read as a market type. On the reports’ scale under 12% favours buyers, 12% to 20% is balanced and over 20% favours sellers.

How many condos and townhomes sold in Forest Hills from June to October 2026?

Between June and October 2026, 13 condos and townhomes sold in Forest Hills; Burnaby as a whole recorded 916.

Do these numbers separate condos from townhomes?

No. The monthly reports publish condos and townhomes as one line, so every count here includes both. Jared can pull the split for a specific building or street.

Are there apartment condos in Forest Hills?

The pocket's buyable attached stock is townhome complexes on Forest Grove Drive — Wembley Estates at 8187 Forest Grove Drive and Henley Estate at 8210 Forest Grove Drive are the two named on federal hearing records — and the large sites a search surfaces on Forest Grove Drive and Ash Grove Crescent are housing co-operatives, not condos for sale.

Is the complex at 8400 Forest Grove Drive a condo I can buy?

No. 8400 Forest Grove Drive is Hillside Place Housing Co-operative in BC Housing's Zone 5 directory: membership housing applied for through the co-op and Housing Registry route, not a strata purchase. The same applies at Whattlekainum Co-operative, 8740 Forest Grove Drive, and Pine Ridge Co-operative, 8763 Ash Grove Crescent. None of the three produces a Form B or a market listing a buyer can act on.

How close is Wembley Estates to the Burnaby Terminal?

About 50 metres from the terminal entrance, on the strata council's own evidence: its filing in the Trans Mountain Expansion Project hearing record describes the 28-unit townhouse complex at the corner of Underhill Avenue and Forest Grove Drive as roughly 50 metres from the entrance to the Burnaby Terminal, with additional tanks proposed uphill of the complex in that application. Read that filing before offering on a Wembley unit.

Will the Burnaby Mountain Gondola pass over my townhome?

It is proposed, not built or funded. TransLink's preferred straight route from Production Way–University Station to SFU would pass above the Forest Grove neighbourhood, and the City of Burnaby's project page records that Forest Grove residents have raised noise, privacy, visual and property-impact concerns; the project still needs inclusion in a future investment plan. Do not pay today for a station that does not exist.

What did townhomes in Forest Hills sell for?

The median townhome sale in Forest Hills was $990,000, across 23 sales from November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026.

How long do townhomes take to sell in Forest Hills?

Half sold in 24 days or less, at a median 97.4% of the last list price; 4% went over asking (sales from November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026).

More Burnaby condos and townhomes

Forest Hills Condos and Townhomes: streets and boundaries

  • Forest Hills is a small attached-housing pocket on the lower south-west slope of Burnaby Mountain, built around Forest Grove Drive, Ash Grove Crescent and Beaverbrook Crescent, below Simon Fraser University (SFU).
  • The City-facing name for the pocket is Forest Grove — Forest Grove Drive, Forest Grove Elementary at 8525 Forest Grove Drive and Forest Grove Park at 8505 Forest Grove Drive — while "Forest Hills" is the board sub-area name.
  • Gaglardi Way is the road up Burnaby Mountain to SFU east of the pocket, and Lougheed Highway runs along its south side toward Lougheed Town Centre.

Forest Hills Condos and Townhomes: the housing stock

  • Wembley Estates, 8187 Forest Grove Drive at Underhill Avenue, is a 28-unit townhouse complex, freehold strata, whose own strata council filing in the Trans Mountain hearing record places it roughly 50 metres from the entrance to the Burnaby Terminal.
  • Henley Estate, 8210 Forest Grove Drive, is a townhome strata, plan NW2129, named as "Henley Estate Strata NW2129" in a Canada Energy Regulator intervenor record.
  • Three of the pocket's largest multi-unit sites are not strata at all: Hillside Place Housing Co-operative at 8400 Forest Grove Drive, Whattlekainum Co-operative at 8740 Forest Grove Drive and Pine Ridge Co-operative at 8763 Ash Grove Crescent are membership housing in BC Housing's directory.

Forest Hills Condos and Townhomes: rules that affect buyers

  • Burnaby's current zoning bylaw is the Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 2026, No. 4742 is superseded.
  • The 2026 bylaw carries a Townhouse District (R2) and apartment districts (R3 to R8) in Part 3, and its Schedule II sets the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Development Permit Area guidelines that apply near Stoney Creek.
  • Stratas with five or more lots here must hold a depreciation report renewed every five years since July 1, 2024 — for 1980s townhome stock, that report is where envelope, roofing and roadway work is scheduled.
  • A co-operative unit is not bought under the Strata Property Act: the three Forest Grove and Ash Grove co-operatives here have no Form B, no depreciation-report regime and no market resale.

Forest Hills Condos and Townhomes: local details a buyer would not know

  • The library serving this pocket is a temporary location: the Cameron Branch of Burnaby Public Library operates inside The City of Lougheed Shopping Centre at 9855 Austin Avenue during the Cameron rebuild.
  • Forest Grove Park at 8505 Forest Grove Drive, beside the elementary school of the same name, is the pocket's park and court site — the amenity core here is school-and-park, with no shopping centre inside the sub-area.
  • Stoney Creek runs through the pocket toward Burnaby Lake, and the City lists a Stoney Creek Stormwater Management Plan among its watershed plans — a creek-side townhome's setbacks are a parcel-level check, not a listing detail.
  • TransLink's gondola engagement record commits to compensation for two multi-family property complexes for aerial passage if Route 1 proceeds — a disclosure item specific to Forest Grove complexes under the line.

Forest Hills Condos and Townhomes: development and new projects

  • Burnaby Mountain Gondola, Production Way–University Station to Simon Fraser University, proposed by TransLink: gondola transit link passing above the Forest Grove neighbourhood on the preferred straight route; no homes are part of the project; status: proposed and not yet approved or funded — it must be included in a future TransLink investment plan and approved by the TransLink Board and Mayors' Council — (as of November 3, 2026).

Forest Hills Condos and Townhomes: costs and taxes

  • Burnaby's 2026 residential tax rates, per the City's tax page: the City of Burnaby portion is 1.55649 dollars per $1,000 of assessed value, and the total residential rate across all taxing authorities shown is 2.97749 per $1,000.
  • Burnaby utility charges for a multiple family dwelling in 2026 are $374.54 for water and $436.00 for sewer use, on the City's residential utility fees page, with a 5 percent discount if paid by the due date.
  • In 2026 Burnaby held water at a 0 percent increase and sewer at 3.5 percent, using reserves against higher Metro Vancouver charges, per the City's financial plan release.
  • The sewer parcel tax still sits on the 2026 property tax notice; the City states it moves to the utility notice starting in 2027.

Forest Hills Condos and Townhomes: getting around

  • Route 136 is the pocket's bus: Lougheed Station to Brentwood Station via Forest Grove Drive, Underhill Avenue and Production Way, per TransLink's timetable — it is the link from a Forest Grove Drive townhome to the SkyTrain network.
  • The nearest rapid station is Production Way–University Station on the Millennium Line, reached on route 136; there is no SkyTrain station inside Forest Hills.
  • Lougheed Station's bus exchange is route 136's terminus, connecting the pocket to both the Millennium and Expo Lines.

Forest Hills Condos and Townhomes: risks and due diligence

  • Streamside rules are the first check on a creek-side lot: Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 2026, Schedule II, sets the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Development Permit Area guidelines, and a development on a parcel subject to it needs an Environmental Assessment Report by a Qualified Environmental Professional confirming the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area boundary.
  • Steep-slope risk is policy-mapped in the Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan work: the City's climate and natural hazards directions restrict development on steep slopes through Development Permit Areas and vary setbacks at the top of slopes — relevant on the pocket's sloped lots below the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.
  • Tank-farm proximity is a Wembley Estates-specific check: the complex sits roughly 50 metres from the Burnaby Terminal entrance on its strata council's own filing, which is the document a buyer reads for the expansion history.
