Burnaby Heights, known in the early 20th c. as Vancouver Heights, is a quiet, prestigious residential neighbourhood in North Burnaby nestled in between between Boundary Road to the west and Willingdon Avenue to the east. Its northern edge facing the North Shore Mountains comes down rather steeply to the shores of Burrard Inlet. Extremely busy Hastings Street to the south provides both access to Downtown Vancouver and the eastern suburbs and pleasant community shopping.

[edit] Heritage homes

Burnaby Heights has a significant number of heritage houses built by British settlers in the early 20th c.

[edit] Christmas in the Heights

It has become an annual tradition to light up the local stretch of Hastings Street during the Christmas season, which certainly makes it more attractive for the shoppers and commuters in this dark time of year.
