Jared's take on Simon Fraser University Area

The SFU area is a mountaintop university village. UniverCity’s townhomes and small condos sit at 366 metres beside campus, with High Street as the main street, and it draws students, staff and anyone who wants the campus and Burnaby Mountain trails at the door.

Simon Fraser University Area Houses: the housing stock

  • The mountaintop's homes are strata apartments and townhomes at UniverCity, not a detached-house subdivision: the newest product named in developer materials is Arbour at SFU, 178 homes in 4 buildings of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom condominiums and 3 bedroom stacked townhomes in the Slopes neighbourhood.

Simon Fraser University Area Houses: local details a buyer would not know

  • The Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area rings the campus and community, so the mountaintop's open space is a conservation area with trails from about 25 metres to the 366-metre summit rather than a set of neighbourhood parks.
  • Arbour at SFU sits beside a new roughly 30,000-square-foot Slopes Neighbourhood Park in UniverCity's Slopes neighbourhood.

Simon Fraser University Area Houses: getting around

  • Burnaby Mountain Parkway and Gaglardi Way are the two roads up the mountain to the campus and UniverCity.
  • The proposed Burnaby Mountain Gondola would run from Production Way–University Station to a terminal near the SFU bus exchange, which is the station the mountain's transit plan is built around; the gondola is not approved or funded.

Simon Fraser University Area Houses: risks and due diligence

  • Treat a UniverCity purchase as a strata purchase: read the strata documents, bylaws and fee schedule, because the mountaintop stock is strata product rather than detached houses.
  • Do not price in the Burnaby Mountain Gondola: TransLink carries it as a proposal requiring a future investment plan plus TransLink Board and Mayors' Council approval.
