Burnaby – Willingdon Heights

Willingdon Heights is a large residential neighbourhood between Burnaby’s western border to Vancouver and Willingdon Avenue, from Hastings Street north to Grant and Graveley Streets south. The area is comprised mainly of single-family homes, many of which have spectacular views of Vancouver’s skyline.

Neighbourhood amenities

Willingdon Heights’ northern border is the lively, multicultural commercial district called the Heights, which runs along Hastings Street. Its diversity of independent shops, restaurants, cafés, and services reflect the many nationalities of immigrants who settled in the area as Burnaby grew. Now, it beckons a new generation who are attracted by its walkability, proximity to Vancouver, and community vibe.
A short drive to the east along Lougheed Highway, the area around the Brentwood Town Centre mall is being redeveloped with new condos, office towers and shopping concourses.

The neighbourhood’s namesake park has a small community centre, seasonal wading pool, sports fields and tennis courts.

Schools

Willingdon Heights is serviced by several bus routes that connect to SkyTrain at Brentwood and Gilmour stations and express routes along Hastings Street that link downtown Vancouver and Simon Fraser University.
The neighbourhood is close to major commuter routes like Lougheed Highway and Highway 1.
