Vancouver Heights houses: your questions answered

How many houses sold in Vancouver Heights from June to October 2026?

Vancouver Heights accounted for 15 of the 251 houses sold across Burnaby from June to October 2026.

Is Vancouver Heights actually in Vancouver?

No — it is a City of Burnaby neighbourhood, and the name is the first thing to correct. Boundary Road is the Vancouver–Burnaby line, schools are School District 41 (Burnaby), taxes come from Burnaby's Rates Bylaw, and Burnaby's heritage inventory catalogues it as its own historic neighbourhood.

Rosser or Confederation Park — which elementary school?

The exact address decides, because both schools are on the same street inside the neighbourhood: Rosser Elementary at 4375 Pandora Street and Confederation Park Elementary at 4715 Pandora Street, both kindergarten to Grade 7.

Can I turn my house lot into a multiplex?

On most lots, yes in principle. The R1 district allows 3 units on lots up to 280 square metres and 4 units on larger lots, up to 6 near frequent transit; forms run from a house with suite and laneway home to a multiplex, suites included in the total.

What does the slope mean if I build or add on?

Expect engineering paper, not just drawings. Burnaby's Complete Application Submission Checklist (effective August 1, 2026) requires a geotechnical report, and on steep-slope sites, slope stability and hydrogeological reports with recommended setbacks and a monitoring plan; streamside lots face the same test.

What did houses in Vancouver Heights sell for?

The median house sale in Vancouver Heights was $2,075,000, across 19 sales from November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026.

Typical time on the market was 21 days. At the median, sale prices were 97.1% of list, and 11% of sales closed above list (November 1, 2025 to October 22, 2026).

More Burnaby houses

Vancouver Heights Houses: streets and boundaries

  • Vancouver Heights is a City of Burnaby neighbourhood, not part of Vancouver: Burnaby's heritage inventory catalogues "Vancouver Heights (Historic Neighbourhood)" in the "Burnaby Heights Area" planning study area.
  • West edge: Boundary Road, the Vancouver–Burnaby line. South edge: Hastings Street, where Burnaby's 2026 Rates Bylaw levies a "Hastings BIA" charge (Burnaby Business Improvement Area (Hastings) Bylaw 2024, No. 14638).
  • North edge: the Burrard Inlet shoreline, drawn across the top of this slope on School District 41's Confederation Park attendance map, above Trinity Street and McGill Street (revised April 2006).
  • Inside, Pandora Street and Albert Street are the east–west residential streets; the 131/132 community shuttles turn at MacDonald Avenue and Albert Street.

Vancouver Heights Houses: the housing stock

  • The stock is view-slope housing: houses step down the north-facing slope between Hastings Street and Burrard Inlet.
  • Heritage-era houses are documented stock: the City's heritage inventory lists Vancouver Heights properties as contributing resources in the historic neighbourhood, by street address.
  • Rosser Elementary, 4375 Pandora Street, dates the first building era: built in 1923 as North Burnaby High School (Bowman and Cullerne), keeping its hipped roof, half-timbered gables and domed roof ventilator.
  • Nearly every house lot is in the citywide R1 Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing District, so detached houses sit on lots zoning now treats as multi-unit sites.

Vancouver Heights Houses: rules that affect buyers

  • Since July 1, 2024, house lots sit in the R1 Small-Scale Multi-Unit Housing District: 3 units on lots up to 280 square metres (3,014 square feet), 4 units on larger lots, 5 to 6 units only in a Frequent Transit Neighbourhood Area; forms include laneway homes, duplexes, multiplexes, cottage courts.
  • A secondary suite counts toward the lot's unit total, one suite per primary unit, and a suite must stay on the same title as the primary unit.
  • Both rulebooks are new: the Burnaby Zoning Bylaw 2026 (adopted June 9, 2026; effective July 1, 2026) and the Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan (adopted December 9, 2025) — the plan overrides older neighbourhood maps where they conflict, so old R-zone descriptions are out of date.
  • Tree removal is governed by the Burnaby Tree Bylaw, Bylaw No. 10482, including replacement planting inside streamside protection areas.

Vancouver Heights Houses: local details a buyer would not know

  • Two elementary catchments split the neighbourhood along Pandora Street by address range, not distance: Rosser (4375 Pandora) west, Confederation Park (4715 Pandora) east, both in School District 41's Brentwood North zone with Alpha Secondary.
  • Renting a suite changes the utility bill and needs a declaration: 2026 adds $326.17 water and $403.00 sewer for a rented suite, changes must be reported within 30 days, and renting the whole house while living elsewhere needs a House Rental Licence instead.
  • Confederation Park, 250 Willingdon Avenue, holds the civic cluster: Eileen Dailly Leisure Pool and Fitness Centre at 240 Willingdon Avenue, and the cenotaph for North Burnaby's Remembrance Day ceremony.
  • In August 2026 the Province funded 20 new before- and after-school child care spaces in repurposed space at Confederation Park Elementary.

Vancouver Heights Houses: development and new projects

  • 4269 Hastings Street: six-storey mixed-use, 37 non-market rental and strata homes over about 2,900 square feet of retail (project team's rezoning material). Status: passed second reading (as recorded 2026-11-01; check current) (as of November 3, 2026).
  • 4472 Hastings Street at Willingdon Avenue: mixed-use redevelopment proposal processed under the City's Heights Urban Village direction. Status: rezoning proposal processed by the City (as recorded 2026-11-01; check current) (as of November 3, 2026).
  • Confederation Park Community Centre replacement (Willingdon Avenue and Albert Street): planned three-level facility beside Eileen Dailly Pool and the McGill Branch library, replacing the 1971 seniors centre. Status: deferred, per the City project page (as recorded 2026-11-01; check current) (as of November 3, 2026).
  • Burnaby 2050 Official Community Plan: the Hastings corridor here is planned as the Heights Urban Village. Status: adopted December 9, 2025 (as of November 3, 2026).

Vancouver Heights Houses: costs and taxes

  • 2026 municipal residential (Class 1) rate: $1.72223 per $1,000 (Burnaby Rates Bylaw 2026, Bylaw No. 14814, adopted May 12, 2026), plus a Metro Vancouver regional district Class 1 rate of $0.05440 per $1,000.
  • Council approved a 2.9 percent 2026 tax increase (about $61 for the average home) plus a 1.9 percent Growth Infrastructure Investment Levy (about $39); taxes were due July 3, 2026, with 5 percent penalties after the due date and again after the September date.
  • Utilities are separate and flat-rate: a detached house pays $652.33 for 2026 water and $159 for the default 180-litre garbage toter, with a 5 percent early-payment discount.

Vancouver Heights Houses: getting around

  • R5 Hastings St RapidBus runs the south edge: Burrard Station (downtown Vancouver) to Simon Fraser University along Hastings Street, at least every 10 minutes at peak.
  • R2 Marine–Willingdon RapidBus is the Highway 1 / Second Narrows route: since September 7, 2026 its routing crosses the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge ("2nd Narrows Brg"), exits at the Hastings Street offramp, and runs Hastings and Willingdon through the Heights to Metrotown Station, replacing the peak-only 222.
  • The 130 bus links Hastings at Willingdon to Metrotown Station and Kootenay Loop every 10 minutes at weekday peaks, select trips to Phibbs Exchange.
  • Inside the slope, the 132 shuttle loops: "From MacDonald at Albert via MacDonald, Albert, Gilmore, Hastings, Gamma, Empire, Hythe, Dundas, Glynde, Cambridge to Grosvenor" (effective June 8, 2026).

Vancouver Heights Houses: risks and due diligence

  • Creek and ravine lots: check the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Development Permit Area — the City's guidelines require a geotechnical assessment setting setbacks where steep or unstable slopes sit in or beside the protected area.
  • A view lot's buildable area can be smaller than its lot size: the City's checklist ties geotechnical, slope stability and hydrogeological reports to steep-slope development.
  • Check a character house against the City's heritage inventory first: inventoried Vancouver Heights buildings carry "Contributing Resource" status.
  • Confirm the catchment for the exact address with School District 41's locator before writing an offer around a school name.
