NEIGHBOURHOOD AND LOCATION:
We live in a unique and highly desirable neighbourhood of mostly large executive homes. It nestles at the foot of Burnaby Mountain among towering evergreen trees and friendly neighbours. We are in the urban City of Burnaby, part of the Greater Metro Vancouver, but with a suburban feel. This neighbourhood is perfect to come home to relax and recharge in a tranquil environment after a full day of activities and away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It's a perfect place stay among the locals. There is a small neighbourhood park a few houses from us. A small shopping plaza about a 15 min walk or 2 minutes by car. The plaza has a grocery store, pub, wine store, Domino's Pizza, pharmacy, hair salon, professional office, and a restaurant at the adjacent golf course. We are conveniently located between two large shopping malls, Lougheed Mall to the east and Brentwood Mall to the west, both are about 5-7 minutes by car or 2-3 Skytrain stations away. There, you will find many choices of shopping, restaurants, grocery stores, banks, and other amenities. If you want a round of golf, the popular and challenging full-size Burnaby Mountain Golf Course is across from our neighbourhood. If you like nature or hiking, a number of easy trails are just steps from us, such as the Burnaby Mountain Trails and the Trans Canada Trail. Burnaby Lake, Deer Lake, Burnaby Village Museum, Barnet Marine Park, Burnaby Mountain Conservation Park, Port Moody, Coquitlam, and New Westminster are just a short drive away. BC's second-largest university, Simon Fraser University (SFU), is about 8 min drive or 20 minutes by transit from us, while the highly sort-after technical school, BCIT is about 10 min drive away.
