Can I add units to a Montecito lot?

A standard lot allows 3 to 4 homes in total, counting a suite or coach house, and only a larger lot within 400 metres of a frequent-transit stop reaches 6. Confirm the lot area and the transit test with the City before pricing in that value.

No station sits inside Montecito; the station is at the south edge on Lougheed Highway. Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station on the Millennium Line connects with bus routes 110, 134 and 144, and the 144 runs between Metrotown Station and SFU. North-end houses on Halifax Street are a bus or drive from that station, not a short walk.

More Burnaby houses

Montecito Houses: streets and boundaries

  • Montecito is a detached-house area in northeast Burnaby, below Burnaby Mountain and above Lougheed Highway. The City also calls this area Sperling-Broadway for planning purposes, and Burnaby Lake Regional Park sits directly south across Lougheed Highway.
  • Kensington Avenue forms the west edge and Halifax Street runs across the north side. Duthie Avenue, Sperling Avenue and Greystone Drive run through the house streets, and Burnaby Mountain Parkway climbs from the east side to Simon Fraser University (SFU).
  • Lochdale and Parkcrest sit to the west and Sperling-Duthie sits to the south across Lougheed Highway. Metro Vancouver describes Burnaby Lake Regional Park as a wildlife sanctuary with a rowing course, Nature House, viewing towers and docks.

Montecito Houses: the housing stock

  • Detached houses on sloping streets below the mountain are the stock this page covers. A small pocket of low-rise apartments sits around Halifax Street at Phillips Avenue, but the house streets on Duthie Avenue, Halifax Street and Greystone Drive are freehold detached lots.
  • Bill Copeland Sports Centre at 3676 Kensington Avenue anchors the west edge, inside the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex. The City lists an ice rink with 1,984 seats there, plus five lit artificial turf fields in the wider complex.

Montecito Houses: rules that affect buyers

  • Most Montecito house lots sit in Burnaby's R1 Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) District. Burnaby replaced its former single- and two-family districts with R1 in June 2024: a lot can hold 3 units if it is up to 280 square metres, 4 units on a larger lot, and 6 units on a lot of at least 281 square metres within 400 metres of a frequent-transit stop.
  • The new Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 2026 took effect July 1, 2026, so check the current bylaw, not an older summary, before designing a rebuild. The City's zoning rewrite page is the starting point and lots with two or more primary units may be stratified.
  • The Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan (OCP) now governs density expectations on large lots. Council adopted it on December 9, 2025; it replaces the 1998 OCP and takes precedence over older community-plan maps where they conflict.

Montecito Houses: local details a buyer would not know

  • Sperling Elementary is an Early French Immersion school, not the default catchment for every Montecito address.
  • Burnaby Lake Sports Complex fields 1 and 2 were closed for turf upgrades from May to September 2026 and were listed open again in the City's October 29, 2026 field-status update. The complex is reached from Kensington Avenue and Sperling Avenue, at Montecito's south-west corner.
  • The library branch for this quadrant is the temporary Cameron Branch inside The City of Lougheed Shopping Centre at 9855 Austin Avenue.

Montecito Houses: development and new projects

  • Burnaby Lake Recreation Complex, beside Bill Copeland Sports Centre on Kensington Avenue, City of Burnaby: new recreation complex beside the existing arena. Status: under construction, with City programs at Bill Copeland continuing during construction (as of November 3, 2026).
  • Burnaby Lake Sports Complex field upgrades, Kensington Avenue and Sperling Avenue, City of Burnaby: turf replacement on fields 1 and 2. Status: fields listed open again in the October 29, 2026 field-status update after a May to September 2026 closure (as of November 3, 2026).

Montecito Houses: costs and taxes

  • Burnaby property taxes for 2026 were due Friday, July 3, 2026. A 5 percent penalty applies to outstanding current taxes and to an unclaimed home owner grant after the July due date, with a further 5 percent after the September due date, and Council approved a 2.9 percent tax increase in the 2026–2030 Financial Plan.
  • The 2026 water charge for a detached single-family dwelling is $652.33 for the year. Burnaby's residential utility notice also covers annual sewer use and a garbage toter fee, rates carry a 5 percent discount if paid by the due date, and single-family sewer is billed as a sewer parcel tax on the property tax notice.
  • Starting in 2027 the sewer parcel tax moves off the property tax notice and onto the utility notice.

Montecito Houses: getting around

  • Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station is the rapid-transit access point for Montecito houses. TransLink's station map shows the elevated Millennium Line station at Sperling Avenue and Lougheed Highway, with bus routes 110, 134 and 144 connecting there.
  • Lougheed Highway is the main east–west road along the south edge. Kensington Avenue, Sperling Avenue and Duthie Avenue carry local traffic, and Burnaby Mountain Parkway climbs east to SFU.

Montecito Houses: risks and due diligence

  • Check the lot, not the neighbourhood name, for hazard and land-reserve status.
  • Check the Burnaby 2050 OCP land use map before assuming a large lot can be split or rebuilt at higher density.
