Common questions

What about Kensington Gardens on Hastings — isn't that a big condo complex in this area?

It is a big attached complex on the Hastings frontage at the area's north edge, and it is not a strata condo complex at all: listings state the ownership is undivided interest (co-ownership), with no strata corporation, no Form B and a maintenance fee that includes property tax, heat and hot water.

A search shows condos on Halifax Street — are those Parkcrest?

The Halifax Street condo buildings the searches surface (4132 Halifax — Marquis Grande; 4363 and 4373 Halifax — Brent Gardens / Brentwood Gardens) are filed by listing sources under Brentwood Park, with Parkcrest named only as a nearby neighbourhood.

How is transit, given there is no station in Parkcrest?

Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station (Millennium Line) sits directly south of the sub-area at Sperling Avenue and Lougheed Highway, with routes 110, 134 and 144 connecting there; route 110 runs the area's south side via the Kensington on-ramp.

What recreation is at Kensington?

Kensington Complex has an NHL regulation ice rink with permanent seating for 620, used for hockey and figure skating in winter and lacrosse in summer, plus a community room with theatre-style capacity of 35; Kensington Park is listed by the City with 3 tennis courts and 3 pickleball courts.

What about Kensington Gardens on Hastings — isn't that a big townhouse/condo complex in this area?

A search shows condos on Halifax Street — are those Parkcrest townhouses?

Where is Parkcrest?

In north Burnaby between Hastings Street and Lougheed Highway, around Kensington Avenue and Halifax Street, named for Parkcrest Elementary at 6055 Halifax St; it is a GVR MLS® sub-area within the City of Burnaby.

Are there condos or townhomes in Parkcrest?

Not in the September 2026 data — the SnapStats row for Parkcrest shows 0 condos and townhomes listed and 0 sold, against 25 detached listings and 3 detached sales, so the area traded as a detached-house neighbourhood that month (SnapStats, September 2026)

Which schools serve a Parkcrest address?

Streets, schools and transit near Parkcrest condos

  • Parkcrest is the detached-house neighbourhood in north Burnaby between Hastings Street and Lougheed Highway, around Kensington Avenue and Halifax Street, named for Parkcrest Elementary at 6055 Halifax St and served by the Kensington sports lands at its south side. "Parkcrest" is the GVR board sub-area name used in the SnapStats GVR report for Burnaby.
  • Where the condo stock concentrates: nowhere. This is a house neighbourhood in the data, not a strata market.
  • Main streets: Hastings Street (north edge), Kensington Avenue, Sperling Avenue and Lougheed Highway (south edge) are the main roads, with Halifax Street and Curtis Street as the interior east–west streets and Highway 1 access via the Kensington and Sperling interchanges.
  • Transit anchors: Sperling–Burnaby Lake Station, an elevated Millennium Line station at Sperling Avenue and Lougheed Highway, is directly south of the sub-area; route 110 runs on the area's south side between Sperling Station and Lougheed / Metrotown via the Kensington on-ramp, Sprott Street and Norland Avenue, and routes 134 and 144 also connect at Sperling Station. There is no station inside Parkcrest.

Good to know about Parkcrest condos

  • Burnaby's zoning bylaw changed mid-2026. The Zoning Bylaw 2026, No. 14815, was adopted June 9, 2026 and took effect July 1, 2026, replacing the 1965 bylaw (No. 4742) — and the Burnaby 2050 OCP (adopted December 9, 2025) replaces the 1998 OCP. Any Parkcrest lot document citing the 1965 bylaw or the 1998 OCP is two generations out of date.
  • The same street name carries two sub-areas' stock. Halifax Street holds Parkcrest's elementary school and houses at its east end (6055 Halifax St) and Brentwood Park's condo towers at its west end (4132 Halifax St) — portal searches by street name alone will import Brentwood buildings into a Parkcrest result set every time.

Townhome complexes in Parkcrest

Future SSMUH multiplexes are not current stock

  • Where the townhouse stock concentrates: nowhere. This is a house neighbourhood in the data, not a strata market. (SnapStats, September 2026)
  • Schools: catchments are address-based in SD41 (Burnaby), which has no middle-school tier — elementary is K–7 and secondary is 8–12. In-area schools on the Province's list are Parkcrest Elementary (K–7), 6055 Halifax St, and Lochdale Community Elementary (K–7), 6990 Aubrey Street, with Burnaby North Secondary (8–12), 751 Hammarskjold Dr, to the west and Sperling Elementary (K–7), 2200 Sperling Ave, to the south.

Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Parkcrest

  • There is no strata stock in Parkcrest to apply strata diligence to today — the rules below govern any strata townhouse a buyer is told is "in Parkcrest" (it will in fact sit in a neighbouring sub-area's row) and any future stratified SSMUH product: Form B diligence: Strata Property Act s. 59 — the Form B states the lot's monthly strata fees, amounts owing, approved special levies still payable, the CRF balance and an insurance summary, with the rules, current budget, any Rental Disclosure Statement and the most recent depreciation report attached; provided within 7 days, maximum $35 plus up to 25 cents per page. There is no Form B at Kensington Gardens — it is undivided-interest ownership, not strata.

Good to know about Parkcrest townhomes

  • The arena was dark for the summer. The City's venue page for Kensington Complex lists the floor season ending June 28 and the complex closed for the summer due to roof repairs, with ice returning September 8; the complex otherwise has an NHL regulation ice rink with permanent seating for 620, and Kensington Park is listed with 3 tennis courts and 3 pickleball courts.

Lots and land in Parkcrest

Fee-simple lots

  • Established-street house lots: freehold detached houses on the streets around Kensington Avenue and Halifax Street. The September 2026 SnapStats row records no attached inventory at all in Parkcrest; any strata product on its edges would be recorded in neighbouring rows. A fee-simple lot carries no strata, no Form B and no strata fees.
  • Serviced position, as the City states it: Burnaby's 2026 residential utility notice covers annual water, annual sewer use, a cross-connection device charge where applicable, and a residential garbage toter fee; the detached single-family dwelling water charge is $652.33, rates carry a 5% discount if paid by the due date, and for single-family homes sewer is billed as a sewer parcel tax on the property tax notice. Established lots sit inside that City serviced system on the City's wording; servicing for any single parcel — and any upgrade a subdivision triggers — is confirmed with the City.
  • ALR vs non-ALR: no ALR parcel in Parkcrest is confirmed; parcel-level ALR status is a property-specific check through the Agricultural Land Commission. No ALR percentage split is stated.
  • The confirmed growth frameworks touching the area are the Lochdale Urban Village Community Plan to the east (adopted July 25, 2022) and the Burnaby 2050 OCP city-wide — planning frameworks, not assemblies, not development sites and not for-sale land.
  • Historic subdivisions = built lot fabric, not offerings: the Halifax / Curtis / Kensington street fabric is established built housing stock; nothing in it is presented as a current lot offering.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Parkcrest

  • Undivided-interest diligence (Kensington Gardens, cross-reference only): because Kensington Gardens is undivided interest ownership, there is no Form B, no strata depreciation report and no CRF to review — diligence runs on the ownership agreement and title, not the strata block.
  • If a parcel is in the ALR: subdivision within the ALR requires ALC approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. On ALR land the main house can be up to 500 m², a suite is allowed only inside it, and an extra residence can be up to 90 m² (186 m² on parcels over 40 ha). For farm class, BC Assessment looks for farm income of $10,000 a year on under 0.8 ha, $2,500 on 0.8 to 4 ha, and $2,500 plus 5% of the value of land over 4 ha; applications are due by October 31.

Good to know about Parkcrest lots

  • Kensington Complex was closed for the summer for roof repairs, with ice returning September 8: the City's venue page lists the floor season ending June 28 and the complex closed for the summer due to roof repairs — sports families buying on the Kensington lands will ask, and the NHL regulation rink (620 permanent seats, hockey and figure skating in winter, lacrosse in summer) is the south side's real amenity anchor.
  • The Burnaby Tennis Club courts on Kensington Avenue are noted by the City in its Cameron project materials as the area's racquet-sport courts — alongside Kensington Park's own 3 tennis and 3 pickleball courts on the City's outdoor courts list, the Kensington lands carry more racquet capacity than a drive-by suggests.
  • Bill Copeland and the Burnaby Lake Sports Complex sit immediately south across Lougheed — in the next sub-area's ground: a 2,000-seat arena venue and the city's main field complex (the City's field-status list names Burnaby Lake Sports Complex East and West fields and 17 tennis courts at the complex) serve Parkcrest lots without being inside Parkcrest — describe them as immediately south, never as in-area.
  • Burnaby replaced its entire zoning bylaw effective July 1, 2026, and its new OCP outranks the old plans: the Zoning Bylaw 2026 (No. 14815, adopted June 9, 2026) repealed the 1965 bylaw (No. 4742), and the Burnaby 2050 OCP (adopted December 9, 2025) takes precedence over older community-plan land use maps where they conflict — a density assumption carried from an older plan for a Parkcrest lot is not safe until re-checked against the 2050 map.
