I hadn't been out to Burnaby in quite a long time, but was there a couple times over the summer. I was very impressed by many of the new high rises, particularly around Metrotown and Brentwood. Lots of modern sleek buildings going up. And, I had forgotten how great Central Park is. Another excellent video, Sir!

[guidodelbo]

Love the outdoor filming videos!!! Please keep them coming, I really enjoyed this one showcasing Burnaby! 🤩

[wenkoffs]

Great video! It looks like so much work with all the on location shooting but the end results are worth it. You did a great job at showing the vibe of the city!

Very good comprehensive video summing up the lifestyle in Burnaby.

I grew up in Burnaby, specifically in The Heights area during the 80s but my family moved when I was in Grade 8. I loved it and my dream is when I finally retire to return there.

I have been back many times and agree the natural beauty is one of its biggest draws and like New West it's central location in the Lower Mainland is a huge draw.

Great video!

thank you for your video. I am looking forward to watching more about this city before making a huge decision next summer. Once again, thank you ❤

Millennium line means you need to transfer at Broadway terminal. The more “chill out line” is the Expo line, Surrey to Downtown. Brentwood mall has become a sleepy center…. just habitation apartments but good car centric for Hwy1. Burnaby has bigger houses, so nightlife is either in the basement or at the park.

Oh thanks you, I was actually wondering about this suburb. Another good video :)

[nadinechristopher]

Love your videos. I will be moving to bc to work in Burnaby. I need all the information on moving to live and work in Burnaby

Vancouver is separated by one street to which the border becomes burnaby. It basically vancouver in my interpretation. The lots here are generally bigger than most of Vancouver except for the rich areas called Shaunghnessy and Fairview and a couple others

Hi there! You're our family's favorite BC insider lol. Any videos about Burnaby neighborhoods coming up soon?

[rickvug]

Good video, completely agree with all points. You touched on it but if I was to add another con for Burnaby it would be the lack of charm or character in most areas. This is quite subjective but compared to older areas such as Vancouver or New Westminster the housing is largely cookie cutter boxes. There are fewer leafy streets with nice character homes. The flip side of this, which is a pro for many, is that those newer boxy homes make up for their lack of charm with practicality and lower costs to maintain. This same lack of sense of place spills over into a sense of shared community. Burnaby is more of a clustering of centres rather than a cohesive city with a strong community identity.

Great one as usual! please do a pros & cons on South Surrey BC. Planning to move there soon🙂

[reggiecheer]

Thanks a lot for the video. We are visiting our relatives in Burnaby for two weeks in the end of April. There is our son who is almost 3 years old and 3 adults. Wondering if renting a car is more convenient to travel around in Burnaby and Vancouver? Thank you 🙏

Isn’t Barnet Marine Park also a park in BBY? The only beach in BBY.

[frankielee]

a little joke about shopping malls, but it's true... in Malaysia, all of the shopping malls built here has two purposes - one for business and another is "heat-shelter"... most people window shops and utilize the "free" air-conditioning in shopping malls.. TRAFFIC wise, I'd get a motorbike..

I do wanna move to burnaby in the next view years together with my 2 daughters.i would love to have more inside views .

Hi! I'll move to BC soon. I'm thinking about study at the Vancouver Career College, at Burnaby's Campus, in the future. I know that this College has other campuses, but the program that I want is there. So, I wonder if is there an other location for rent an apartment, not too far from Burnaby, but less expensive to live. Have you any recommendation?

[crocScript]

I would like to know about the cost of living in Barnaby.
