Metrotown is Burnaby’s urban heartbeat, where sleek high-rises meet leafy side streets and daily errands, dining, and recreation are all within easy reach. Retail anchors the scene at Metropolis at Metrotown, one of the country’s largest shopping centres, while the adjacent Crystal Mall serves up beloved Asian eateries and specialty grocers. Just a few blocks away, Central Park offers towering evergreens, tranquil ponds, and the Central Park Pitch & Putt alongside Swangard Stadium, creating a green counterbalance to the neighborhood’s energy.
Families appreciate strong local schools, including Marlborough Elementary, Maywood Community School, and Burnaby South Secondary, and the community hub at the Bonsor Recreation Complex with pools, fitness facilities, and popular programs. The Bob Prittie Metrotown Branch of Burnaby Public Library adds study spaces, maker resources, and frequent events. Commuting is straightforward via Metrotown Station on the Expo Line, with quick hops to Vancouver and New Westminster; weekends invite easy exploration of nearby Brentwood and Edmonds.
Housing spans glassy condo towers with mountain views to townhomes tucked on quieter blocks, and street-level amenities—cafés, clinics, markets—keep life convenient from morning coffee to late-night bites. Whether you’re moving in or planning a smart sale, Agent Pronto can connect you with a top local real estate professional to help you succeed in Metrotown.
