In the south of Burnaby, BC, are the communities of Suncrest, Big Bend, and South Slope. These quaint neighborhoods are less urbanized than other areas in the region, though not entirely unurbanized, but they more than make up for it with their scenic surroundings.
Suncrest is a quiet neighborhood that resides between the bustling Metrotown and Vancouver’s eastern border and it is considered to be an area of relatively high value. It is known for its picturesque views to the south and treelined surroundings that inspire a sense of peace. Suncrest offers some of the best parks in the Burnaby area, including Burnaby’s largest park. These spots of nature can be enjoyed by property owners wishing to unwind with a day in the calming aura of nature. For those less interested in the natural world, Suncrest is near the commercial areas of Metrotown and Market Crossing. One could just as easily stroll amidst greenery as one could down a lane of shops. Such a convenient location would no doubt be attractive to those looking to rent a property.
It would not be an overstatement to describe Big Bend as one of Burnaby’s largest neighborhoods. Located farther to the south, Big Bend is home to a fair collection of warehouses, some of which serve as movie studios for popular television series. This locale is also recognized for its rustic, agricultural character with history that dates all the way back to the 1860s. The small neighborhood farms of Big Bend add to this unique charm as they occasionally sell their crops as well as fresh flowers at market stops. Big Bend also offers a multitude of walking trails, forested trails, and parks. These areas are perfect for a relaxing stroll, or to serve as a location to step away from the rush of daily life. Included in the list of recreational areas is an award-winning golf course that covers an extensive amount of land. However, all this is not to say Big Bend is removed from the modern world. In fact, this location is home to a deluxe townhouse development, three train stations, and numerous swift bus links that connect to Vancouver as well as other neighborhoods. One could visit the local, full-service shopping area with specialty retailers at any time, should they desire it. To summarize, Big Bend’s neighborhood is best described as the unique combination of agricultural, commercial, industrial, recreational, and residential.
Just as one would expect, South Slope rests on a south-facing hill. Its northeast corner hosts townhomes and condominium towers that are in close proximity to essential goods and services. There is also a selection of South Slope townhouses close to the Metrotown area, for those interested. South Slope has the fortune to be near both multiple, well-tended parks and three popular commercial districts. One of South Slope’s parks features a river that even has live fish, namely salmon and trout, running through it. South Slope has no shortage of condos to invest in, should one be interested in this area.
The Suncrest, Big Bend, and South Slope communities are blessed with closeness to both nature and the city, something that not many other locations can say the same of. Such versatility is likely to appeal to those seeking a place to rent, and thus properties in this area deserve to be seriously considered for investments.
