Common questions

Is The Crest in Vancouver or Burnaby?

Burnaby — south-east Burnaby on the Edmonds / East Burnaby side near the New Westminster border.

How many homes can a Crest house lot hold?

Under the R1 SSMUH district: 3 units on lots up to 280 m², 4 units on larger lots, and 6 units on lots of at least 281 m² within 400 m of a frequent-transit stop — with a 10 m minimum width and 281 m² minimum area for SSMUH lots.

Can a multiplex on a Crest lot be sold unit by unit?

Yes on the City's wording: lots with two or more primary units may be stratified — and once stratified, each lot is strata tenure with Form B, fees and bylaws.

What servicing number governs a Crest subdivision?

The documented route is Engineering pre-application approval through My Permits Portal, with cash-in-lieu for offsite works identified in the Pre-Approval Report.

Where is The Crest in Burnaby?

In south-east Burnaby on the Edmonds / East Burnaby side, around 10th Avenue, 6th Street and Edmonds Street near the New Westminster border; "The Crest" is the GVR MLS® sub-area name and matches the local Crest Centre plaza (SnapStats, September 2026)

Which schools are in or near The Crest?

Second Street Community Elementary (K–7), 7502 2nd St, and Morley Elementary (K–7), 7355 Morley St, with Byrne Creek Community Secondary (8–12), 7777 18th St, the nearest secondary on the Province's SD41 list; catchments are address-based, so check the exact address in the SD41 locator.

Lots and land in The Crest

Fee-simple lots

  • Established house lots: A fee-simple lot carries no strata, no Form B and no strata fees.
  • The applicable R1 SSMUH thresholds are a 281 m² minimum lot area and a 10 m minimum lot width, with unit counts turning on the 280 m² / 281 m² and 400-metre frequent-transit thresholds in. These are district thresholds, not a claim about any existing lot.
  • Burnaby's R1 district allows lots with two or more primary units to be stratified — a multiplex lot can become strata lots. Where that happens, each resulting lot is strata tenure (Form B / strata fees / bylaws apply).
  • 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 garbage toter fee, with the detached single-family water charge at $652.33 and sewer for single-family homes billed as a sewer parcel tax.
  • Check any parcel in the ALC's ALR Property and Map Finder.

Named developments / applications

  • None is listed as for-sale inventory. The Edmonds Community Plan covers the town centre plan area west of The Crest; it is a plan for Edmonds ground, not a Crest lot development.
  • Historic subdivision fabric = built lot fabric, not offerings: the East Burnaby side streets are established fee-simple lot fabric documented above; no historic subdivision is presented as a lot offering.
  • No named presale project of any form inside The Crest was confirmed on an official or developer source.

Streets, schools and getting around The Crest

  • The Crest surrounds The Crest Centre, around 10th Avenue, 6th Street and Edmonds Street in south-east Burnaby, with the New Westminster border at the east edge. Nearby: Edmonds town centre to the west, East Burnaby and Cariboo to the north, New Westminster across the municipal border to the east and south-east.
  • Roads and transit: 10th Avenue, 6th Street, Edmonds Street and Kingsway serve the area. Edmonds Station (Expo Line) is west of the sub-area and is its SkyTrain link; no SkyTrain station sits inside The Crest.
  • Parks, recreation, library and care: Robert Burnaby Park is in the wider East Burnaby area north of the sub-area. Burnaby Public Library's Tommy Douglas Branch, 7311 Kingsway, serves this quadrant from Edmonds. Burnaby Hospital, 3935 Kincaid St, is the city's hospital; the Edmonds Urgent and Primary Care Centre is at #201-7315 Edmonds St.
  • Shopping: The Crest Centre is the local neighbourhood plaza the sub-area is named for. The City-designated town centre serving the area is Edmonds, west on Kingsway.
  • Market context, labelled correctly: SnapStats covers Burnaby. Community context only (SnapStats publishes medians at community level only; land has no SnapStats category): Burnaby Detached median $1,825,000, $662/sqft, 96% sale-to-list, 37 days; Burnaby "Condos & Townhomes" combined median $686,000, $763/sqft, 98%, 36 days.

Local rules that affect land buyers in The Crest

The rules that apply across Surrey (zoning, suites, strata, land and taxes) are on one page: buying a home in Surrey: the rules.

  • Confirm subdivision and servicing requirements with the City for the parcel.
  • 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 The Crest

  • Burnaby's zoning changed under this sub-area in 2026: Zoning Bylaw 2026 (No. 14815) took effect July 1, 2026 and the Burnaby 2050 OCP (adopted December 9, 2025) replaced the 1998 OCP and takes precedence over older community-plan maps — a Crest document citing Bylaw No. 4742 or the 1998 OCP is citing superseded instruments.
  • The transit test is worth units: the jump from 4 homes to 6 turns on a lot of at least 281 m² sitting within 400 m of a frequent-transit stop — two similar Crest lots can carry different multiplex value purely on that measurement.

The province-wide rules are on one page: BC land buying rules.
