New Westminster – The Heights

811 SCOTT ST, NEW WESTMINSTER, BC V3L 4K4, CANADA

The Heights is a residential neighbourhood of established single-family homes along the south slope of the Westminster Hills along the Burnaby border at 10th Avenue. The area’s elevation means many homes have spectacular eastern views up the Fraser River to Mt. Baker.

Discover the Charm of The Heights, New Westminster

Nestled in the heart of New Westminster, The Heights, known formally as Massey Victory Heights, stands out as one of the city’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. With its rich history dating back to the mid-20th century, this area offers a unique blend of nostalgia, serene living, and breathtaking views that captivate residents and visitors alike.

Characterized by mid-century modern homes built predominantly in the 1950s, The Heights presents an architectural feast for the eyes, featuring simple yet elegant curb appeal. The neighbourhood’s spacious lots, often exceeding 6,000 sqft with more than 60’ of frontage, provide ample space for beautiful landscaping, contributing to the area’s low-density feel surrounded by lush greenery. Residents enjoy unparalleled views stretching from west, south to east, overlooking the majestic Mount Baker, the winding Fraser River, and the Port Mann Bridge, with streets gently sloped towards the sun to brighten every home.

The Heights has a profound history, with the first lots sold in October 1945 to returning veterans, fostering a community spirit that remains vibrant to this day. This spirit is celebrated annually with neighbourhood-wide garage sales and family fun day block parties, reinforcing the area’s family-friendly ethos.

Today, The Heights is revered as an oasis within the city. Despite its proximity to bustling roadways, the neighbourhood’s residential streets maintain a tranquil and safe atmosphere, reminiscent of its origins. The community showcases a stark contrast in architectural styles, from early farmhouses and Craftsman houses to post-war bungalows and contemporary designs, enriched by diverse materials and historic streetlights. This architectural diversity underscores the neighbourhood’s significance to New Westminster’s heritage and character.

For those seeking a serene lifestyle without sacrificing the conveniences of city living, The Heights offers a perfect balance. It’s not just a place to live but a vibrant community to be part of, where the echoes of the past meet the modern comforts of today. Whether you’re looking to buy or sell, The Heights in New Westminster presents an opportunity to invest in a lifestyle that cherishes history, community, and stunning natural beauty.
