Transportation

It is impractical for people walking to navigate this part of Burnaby as few day-to-day errands can be run on foot. This neighbourhood is not very conducive to biking as there are few bike lanes, and there is a significant amount of slopes. On the other hand, cars are a great transportation option in this part of the city. It is especially convenient to find a place to park, and the majority of houses for sale are a rather short car ride from the nearest highway.
