Is Oaklands a buyers’ or sellers’ market?

The sales ratio is homes sold divided by homes listed; on the reports’ scale under 12% favours buyers, 12% to 20% is balanced and over 20% favours sellers. One month in one community is a small sample, so look at the monthly table above before you decide.

How many homes sold in Oaklands from June to October 2026?

0 houses and 8 condos and townhomes sold in Oaklands over those 5 months; condos and townhomes peaked in June with 3 sold.

Are there more or fewer homes for sale in Oaklands than in June?

Listings of condos and townhomes rose from 6 in June to 9 in October 2026 (+50.0%).

What was here before the houses?

A prison farm stood here first. Heritage Burnaby records that the Oakalla Prison Farm opened in 1912 on 185 acres next to Deer Lake, ran its own dairy, vegetable gardens and livestock, and closed in 1991, when 64 acres had already been transferred to the City in 1979 for Deer Lake Park and the rest was demolished for housing and park expansion.

Which bus actually runs through Oaklands?

Route 144 is the through bus. TransLink's timetable shows it running from Simon Fraser University (SFU) Exchange to Metrotown Station via Deer Lake Avenue, Canada Way, Burris Street and Oakland Street, with Oaklands stops from Walker Avenue to Oakdale Road, then Dover Street and Nelson Avenue into Metrotown.

Which schools are near the pocket?

The named School District No. 41 (Burnaby) schools on this side of the lake are École Marlborough Elementary, kindergarten to Grade 7, at 6060 Marlborough Avenue, and Burnaby Central Secondary, Grades 8 to 12, at 6011 Deer Lake Parkway.

Can I build right up to the lake or a creek lot line?

No, not without checking the streamside rules first. Burnaby's SPEA guidelines apply to parcels with a stream or within 30 metres of a stream's top of bank, and the City's streams guide puts streamside leave areas between 15 and 30 metres for Class A fish-bearing watercourses. A qualified environmental professional may be needed to fix the exact boundary on a specific lot.

Oaklands by home type

Oaklands: streets and boundaries

  • Oaklands has no City-published boundary line, so use its streets as the check: the pocket sits at the southwest corner of Deer Lake Park, on Oakland Street and Oakmount Crescent, west of the lake and east of Royal Oak Avenue.
  • Oakland Street is the spine: TransLink's route 144 timetable lists its Oaklands stops westbound at Walker Avenue, Brantford Avenue, Gilley Avenue, Waltham Avenue, Dufferin Avenue and Oakdale Road.
  • The name comes from the land's former use: Heritage Burnaby records the Oakalla Prison Farm on Royal Oak Avenue, on 185 acres next to Deer Lake.

Oaklands: the housing stock

  • The housing here is a post-1991 redevelopment, not an older street grid: Heritage Burnaby records that Oakalla closed in 1991 and its buildings were demolished for a new residential housing development and an expansion of Deer Lake Park.

Oaklands: rules that affect buyers

  • Lots beside the lake and its creeks are the rule-sensitive ones here: Burnaby's Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA) guidelines apply to any parcel containing a stream or lying within 30 metres of the top of bank of a stream.

Oaklands: local details a buyer would not know

  • Deer Lake Park is the front yard, and it is a working cultural site, not just trails: the City lists the park at 5435 Sperling Avenue, with the Burnaby Art Gallery, Burnaby Village Museum and Shadbolt Centre for the Arts on its north side and concerts and festivals on the Festival Lawn.
  • The 144 bus is also the City Hall bus: its route passes the Burnaby City Hall bus loop and the Deer Lake Avenue stop at the Shadbolt Centre before reaching Oakland Street.
  • Part of today's park was prison farmland within living memory: 64 acres of the Oakalla farm were transferred to Burnaby in 1979 and folded into Deer Lake Park, twelve years before the prison itself closed.

Oaklands: costs and taxes

  • One Oaklands-relevant line item in the City's 2026 utility table is the rented-suite charge: a rented suite in a single-family dwelling carries a $326.17 water charge and a $403.00 sewer use charge for 2026, before the 5% discount for payment by the due date.

Oaklands: getting around

  • Route 144 links Oaklands directly to two SkyTrain-area anchors: it runs from SFU Exchange through Sperling Station and Burnaby City Hall, along Oakland Street, and ends at Metrotown Station.
  • Royal Oak Avenue, the pocket's west edge, is the walk-to-station street for the Royal Oak Station side; the 144 is the bus that stays inside the neighbourhood itself.

Oaklands: risks and due diligence

  • Check the SPEA layer first on any lot backing onto the lake park or a creek: the guidelines apply within 30 metres of a stream's top of bank, and the mapped boundary, not the fence line, sets where building can go.
  • Check the City's streams and ravines guide before assuming a rear-yard project is simple: it states leave areas of 15 to 30 metres for Class A fish-bearing watercourses and 5 to 30 metres for Class B non-fish-bearing ones, set by the Planning Department for the specific site.
