A SENSE OF PLACE

The neighbourhood, in perspective.

Getting around

Willingdon Heights allows house buyers to get around by various methods of transportation. Travelling by public transit is easy in this neighbourhood due to a multitude of nearby rapid transit stations on the Millennium Line, and approximately 10 nearby bus lines. Willingdon Heights is also conducive to those who like to get around on foot; many daily needs can be met without a car, and a fair number of businesses of different types can be found as well. This part of Burnaby is moderately suited for cycling since the bicycling infrastructure is fairly comprehensive.

Residents have access to numerous nearby clothing stores. In terms of education, families will find that wherever their home is located in Willingdon Heights, schools and daycares are nearby.

Local character

Willingdon Heights is a "jack-of-all-trades" when it comes to the feel of this part of Burnaby. Although the atmosphere is not the most lively in this area, its busier streets can still be quite energetic, and with the bars in nearby neighbourhoods, it is very easy to find a place to grab a drink since they are generally located very close by. Willingdon Heights is very quiet overall, as the streets tend to be very tranquil. Public green spaces, such as Rupert Park and Confederation Park, are especially well-spread out and there are around 20 of them close by for residents to check out, making them very easy to reach from the majority of locations within Willingdon Heights.

Surrounding homes

In Willingdon Heights, roughly 40% of dwellings are large apartment buildings, while small apartment buildings, duplexes, and single detached homes are also present in the housing stock. This neighbourhood is primarily composed of four or more bedroom and two bedroom homes. Homeowners occupy roughly two thirds of the dwellings in Willingdon Heights whereas the rest are rented. Roughly 45% of properties in this area were constructed following the year 2000, while many of the remaining buildings were built pre-1960 and in the 1960s.
