FOR DAYS THAT START WITH A COMMUTE
Walk to Holdom, join the Millennium Line, and plan the rest of your journey from there. For buyers who want a transit option alongside their car, this is a connection to try on a typical workday.
FOR HOUSEHOLDS WITH FULL CALENDARS
Think school-day routines, a weekend park outing and somewhere to gather at home. Parkcrest Elementary and Burnaby North Secondary are the school catchments, while Unit 1’s four ensuite bedrooms and two primary bedrooms offer options for a household that values individual space.
FOR A LITTLE MORE OUTSIDE TIME
Trade a busy day for forest trails, wetland views and birdwatching. Burnaby Lake’s 10 km loop offers room for a longer walk, with shorter outings whenever fresh air calls.
