The Crest Burnaby Houses: streets and boundaries

  • The Crest is a house neighbourhood in southeast Burnaby around 10th Avenue, 6th Street and Edmonds Street, at the New Westminster border. The name matches The Crest Centre, the neighbourhood shopping plaza in the 10th Avenue and Canada Way area — the City does not publish a street-by-street boundary for the name.
  • Edmonds, a City-designated town centre on Kingsway, is the larger centre west of The Crest. The City lists Edmonds among Burnaby's four town centres, and the Edmonds Community Plan area sits west of the Crest house streets.
  • Griffiths Drive and 18th Avenue form the southeast edge toward Byrne Creek Ravine Park. TransLink route 106 runs through the area via 6th Street, Edmonds Street, Griffiths Drive and 18th Avenue.

The Crest Burnaby Houses: the housing stock

  • Detached houses on side streets are the core stock in The Crest. The Province's School District 41 (SD41) list and the district's own pages place two elementary schools inside the house area, Second Street Community and Morley, which is the pattern of an established single-family district rather than a tower district.
  • Houses here are freehold lots under the R1 Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing (SSMUH) District. Burnaby rezoned its house districts into R1 in June 2024, and the district's permitted forms include single-family homes, duplexes, multiplexes, rowhouses and secondary suites.
  • Multiplex infill is the change coming to these lots. Lots in the R1 district with two or more primary dwelling units may be stratified and sold individually, while secondary suites stay on the primary unit's title.

The Crest Burnaby Houses: rules that affect buyers

  • A Crest house lot allows 3 to 4 homes, and 6 only near frequent transit.
  • A subdividable SSMUH lot needs at least 10 metres of width and 281 square metres of area. Fee-simple rowhouse lots are the exception, at 5 to 8 metres of width depending on lot type.
  • A lot within 30 metres of Byrne Creek or another stream, ravine or wetland needs a streamside assessment. The City uses that assessment to set the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA) where new building and land disturbance are kept out.
  • The Edmonds Community Plan, adopted by Council in March 2025, governs the town centre west of The Crest, and the Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan (OCP) takes precedence over older plan maps where they conflict.

The Crest Burnaby Houses: local details a buyer would not know

  • Second Street is a community school, not just a catchment school. SD41 names it Second Street Community Elementary at 7502 2nd Street, and the City's Southeast Community children's programs run at both Second Street and Morley Elementary, 7355 Morley Street.
  • The Tommy Douglas Branch of Burnaby Public Library, at 7311 Kingsway in Edmonds, is the library branch serving this quadrant of the city.
  • The Edmonds Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) is at #201-7315 Edmonds Street, west of The Crest, and Burnaby Hospital is at 3935 Kincaid Street.
  • SD41 has no middle-school tier anywhere in Burnaby. Elementary schools run Kindergarten to Grade 7 and secondary schools run Grade 8 to Grade 12, so a Crest child moves straight from Second Street or Morley to secondary.
  • A rented suite in a Crest house is billed separately for utilities. The City's 2026 table charges a rented suite in a single-family dwelling $326.17 for water and $403.00 for sewer use.

The Crest Burnaby Houses: development and new projects

  • Edmonds Community Plan, Kingsway and Edmonds Street, City of Burnaby: the town-centre plan west of The Crest. Status: adopted by Council in March 2025 (as of November 3, 2026).
  • Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan (OCP): adopted December 9, 2025, replacing the 1998 OCP city-wide, including the land use map covering The Crest.

The Crest Burnaby Houses: costs and taxes

  • A detached Crest house pays the 2026 single-family water charge of $652.33, and utility rates carry a 5% discount if paid by the due date.
  • The Speculation and Vacancy Tax applies in Burnaby, listed by the Province as a Metro Vancouver taxable area.

The Crest Burnaby Houses: getting around

  • Route 106 is the through bus for The Crest. TransLink's timetable runs route 106, Edmonds Station to New Westminster Station, via 6th Street, Edmonds Street, Griffiths Drive and 18th Avenue.
  • Edmonds Station on the Expo Line is west of the area and is its SkyTrain link; no station sits inside The Crest.
  • 10th Avenue runs east into New Westminster and west toward Kingsway, and Canada Way links the north edge of the area to the Trans-Canada Highway corridor.

The Crest Burnaby Houses: risks and due diligence

  • Check the Byrne Creek ravine edge on BurnabyMap before valuing a lot on Griffiths Drive or 18th Avenue. The Burnaby 2050 OCP's Streamside Protection and Enhancement Development Permit Area guidelines govern how the protected area is measured on the parcel.
  • Check protected trees before assuming a lot is clearable. The City grants tree-cutting permits only against its criteria, and replacement trees for trees removed for development must be shown on the site plan.
