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

Listings of detached houses fell from 29 in June to 25 in October 2026 (−13.8%).

Is "The Heights" the same place as Massey Victory Heights?

Yes. The City plans and maps the area as Massey Victory Heights — the Official Community Plan's residential neighbourhoods map uses that name — while "The Heights" is the combined local name for its two halves, Victory Heights east of William Street and Massey Heights west of it, between Eighth and Tenth Avenues.

Why are so many houses the same age here?

Because the neighbourhood was sold as one project. Victory Heights lots were offered from October 1, 1945 for 30 days exclusively to returning veterans at 30 percent of assessed land value, with a condition that buyers build immediately; Massey Heights followed from 1953, when 32 of 46 lots sold within a month, so both halves filled with post-war houses in a short window.

Which schools serve a Heights address?

École Herbert Spencer Elementary, Kindergarten to Grade 5 at 605 Second Street, is the French immersion elementary named for this side of the city, and F.W. Howay Elementary is the English-track school local to Massey Heights; School District No. 40 assigns by home address, so the exact school for a Colby Street or Massey Street address must be confirmed with the district.

Is The Heights in a Transit-Oriented Development Area?

Partly, at its edges. A February 17, 2026 City report to the Advisory Planning Commission covers proposed Transit-Oriented Development Area extensions in Sapperton and Victory Heights, because provincial Transit-Oriented Development Areas enable density within 800 metres of the city's five SkyTrain stations; the same report notes the provincial mapping did not account for local subdivision patterns or topography.

What did houses in The Heights sell for?

From November 2025 to late October 2026, The Heights recorded 36 house sales at a median of $1,420,000.

How long do houses take to sell in The Heights?

Typical time on the market was 28 days. At the median, sale prices were 96.6% of list, and 8% of sales closed above list (November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026).

The Heights by home type

The Heights: streets and boundaries

  • "The Heights" is the local name for the City of New Westminster's Massey Victory Heights neighbourhood: the Official Community Plan's residential neighbourhoods map names the area Massey Victory Heights, one of ten residential neighbourhoods in the plan.
  • The working boundary is Tenth Avenue to the north, Eighth Avenue to the south, East Columbia Street to the east and McBride Boulevard to the west, with William Street dividing the Massey Heights side from the Victory Heights side.
  • The residents' association for the area is the Massey Victory Heights Residents Association, and the City lists Massey Victory Heights as a single neighbourhood in its planning documents, including the Street Tree Master Plan's planting area C.

The Heights: the housing stock

  • The stock is post-war houses built for returning veterans: the City opened the sale of Victory Heights lots on October 1, 1945, for 30 days exclusively to returning veterans, at 30 percent of the assessed land value, on condition the land be used immediately to build new homes.
  • Massey Heights followed: development began there in 1953, the section named after Governor General Vincent Massey, and 32 of its 46 lots between William Street and McBride Boulevard sold within one month.
  • Named streets mark the two halves: Massey Street and Colby Street on the Massey side, and the Victory Heights streets east of William Street, all inside the Eighth Avenue to Tenth Avenue band.

The Heights: rules that affect buyers

  • The Official Community Plan designation over most Heights lots is (RD) Residential – Detached and Semi-Detached Housing: single detached dwellings and duplexes, where a single detached dwelling may also include a secondary suite and/or a detached accessory dwelling unit such as a laneway or carriage house.
  • A Heritage Revitalization Agreement can change what a Heights lot allows: through one, the OCP designation makes a property eligible for incentives such as a smaller minimum lot size, added density or reduced parking to conserve a heritage asset.

The Heights: local details a buyer would not know

  • Victory Heights Park sits inside the neighbourhood, and Hume Park is at its north edge — the park names appear in the City's planning material for Massey Victory Heights' planting area C, grouped with McBride Sapperton and Brunette.
  • The Heights is high ground: the City's flood material puts the floodplain on the river flats, while Massey Victory Heights sits on the hill above East Columbia Street — a lot's status is still read off the City's Flood Susceptibility Map, not the neighbourhood name.
  • The neighbourhood's own association is active in naming and history: the Massey Victory Heights Residents Association publishes the area's lot-sale history, including the 1945 veterans-only sale window.

The Heights: development and new projects

  • Transit-Oriented Development Area Extensions — Victory Heights, City of New Westminster: proposed Official Community Plan amendments extending the Residential – Limited Mid Rise designation to properties on the outer edges of the provincial Transit-Oriented Development Areas, covering Victory Heights in the February 17, 2026 Advisory Planning Commission report; status — proposed amendments reported to the Commission on February 17, 2026 (as of November 3, 2026).
  • New elementary school at Hume Park, School District No. 40: listed in the district's Long-Range Facilities Plan as an additional capital project beyond the Lord Tweedsmuir development, alongside a seismic upgrade of Hume Park Elementary; status — planned in the district's adopted long-range plan (as of November 3, 2026).

The Heights: costs and taxes

  • One Heights-specific cost follows from its stock: a post-war house with a secondary suite pays the suite utility rate — the City's 2026 net utility subtotal for a single-family dwelling with a secondary suite is $4,143.46 against $2,753.73 without a suite.

The Heights: getting around

  • Eighth Avenue is the neighbourhood's transit street: TransLink route 123, New Westminster Station/Brentwood Station, runs Eighth Avenue, and TransLink increased service on route 123 from April 20, 2026.
  • McBride Boulevard and Tenth Avenue are the car exits: Tenth Avenue is the Burnaby boundary road at the top of the neighbourhood and McBride Boulevard drops to East Columbia Street and the Sapperton station area.

The Heights: risks and due diligence

  • Flood is checked on the City's Flood Susceptibility Map, built from the provincial Fraser River Flood Profile: the City states five of its twelve square kilometres are within the floodplain boundaries, concentrated on the low ground, and that does not give a lot-level flood construction level for a Heights address.
  • Slope and lane condition are the practical checks on the Eighth Avenue edge: the February 2026 Transit-Oriented Development report itself notes provincial density mapping did not consider local topography, so a buyer should confirm the lot's grade and lane status with the City rather than rely on the Transit-Oriented Development Area circle.
