- Burnaby Heights
Burnaby Heights, known in the early 20th c. as Vancouver Heights, is a quiet, prestigious residential neighbourhood in
North Burnaby nestled in between between Boundary Road to the west andGamma Avenue to the east. Its northern edge facing the North Shore Mountains comes down rather steeply to the shores ofBurrard Inlet .Extremely busy Hastings Street to the south provides both access to Downtown Vancouver and the eastern suburbs and pleasant community shopping.
The Heights neighbourhood has a strong sense of community, beautiful views, parks and trails, recreational amenities, and a thriving business district all within walking distance.
Many community events, such as Hats Off Day [http://www.burnabyheights.com/qs/page/1824/1798/-1] , Hallowe'en on the Heights [http://www.burnabyheights.com/qs/page/1826/1798/-1] and Light up the Heights [http://www.burnabyheights.com/qs/page/2354/1798/-1] are held annually.
Heritage homes
Burnaby Heights has a significant number of heritage houses built by British settlers in the early 20th c.
Christmas in the Heights
It has become an annual tradition to light up the local stretch of Hastings Street during the
Christmas season, which certainly makes it more attractive for the shoppers and commuters in this dark time of year.
