Glenbrooke North has been my home away from home for almost a quarter of a century. I grew up playing at the Royal City Curling Club, and one of the things I love most about the area is how stable and established the neighbourhood feels.

Glenbrooke North is predominantly made up of single-family homes, with pockets of higher-density housing along some of the main routes. Much of the neighbourhood has been here for decades, and the streets look almost exactly the same as they did when I started curling here in the early 2000s.

Change has slowly come to the neighbourhood. The təməsew̓txʷ Aquatic and Community Centre replaced the old Canada Games Pool, and there is some newer housing and construction. But much of that change has built on what was already here, updating the neighbourhood while keeping its established character.

I love this quiet neighbourhood. If you’re thinking about living in Glenbrooke North, I’m always happy to talk about an area that has been part of my life for nearly 25 years.

Real estate agents love to talk about up-and-coming neighbourhoods, but today I want to talk about a community that has ARRIVED. Burquitlam is now a major hub for dense, transit-oriented living.

Burquitlam has a huge variety of homes to choose from, including presale and move-in-ready condos, townhomes and detached houses, often sharing the same streets, all with easy access to SkyTrain and the rest of Metro Vancouver.

It’s been remarkable watching how much the neighbourhood has changed, especially over the last decade. There’s still more growth ahead, and I’m looking forward to seeing what Burquitlam becomes next, and whether you might become part of it.

This is Lochdale, the neighbourhood where I grew up. It’s a mature community made up mostly of single-family homes and duplexes, with a strong connection to nature and plenty of mature trees and green space. Lochdale is walkable, has access to transit, and offers the kinds of family-oriented amenities that make everyday life easy.

Growing up here, I was able to walk to both my elementary school and high school. Most of what I needed was either a short walk away or a short drive away, and even the main streets generally feel less congested than in many other communities.

I loved growing up here. If you’re looking for family-oriented living in Burnaby, I’d be happy to tell you more about the Lochdale area and what makes it such a great place to call home.

Today is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Today, and every day, we should work to better understand our relationship with Indigenous Peoples, and work to address the systemic barriers that still exist in our society.

Welcome to my neighbourhood spotlight! To start things off, we’re going to look at my home neighbourhood of UniverCity. This is an established, but still growing community that sits atop Burnaby Mountain alongside Simon Fraser University.

Most of the properties in the neighbourhood are condos and townhouses, creating a compact neighbourhood with plenty of everyday amenities close to home. Even with the density, there’s plenty of green space, easy access to trails, and a surprising amount of privacy.

UniverCity is well connected to the rest of Metro Vancouver through the SFU bus loop, which provides direct access to the Millennium, Evergreen and Expo skytrain lines and a RapidBus to downtown Vancouver.

If you’re thinking of buying in UniverCity, I’d love to tell you more about the place I call home and help you decide whether it fits the lifestyle you’re looking for.

This is a sample of a two-bedroom unit at Icon, which is part of the Southgate City project by Ledingham McAllister. This unit includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a small flex space that could be an ideal office or den.

I love the inclusion of the flex space as it gives you a lot of different options for how to use the space to best suit you and your family’s needs. And can we talk about the balcony? It’s enormous and wraps around to the second bedroom, providing plenty of fresh air and views of the area.

I’m taking a look further south today, and I’m pleased to showcase Southgate City by Ledingham McAllister. This is a 60 acre master planned community in the Edmonds community plan, with move-in ready projects already completed.

Southgate city is ideally situated a few minutes away from Metrotown for your shopping needs. With ready access to skytrain and transit, as well as quick driving access to Queensborough, New Westminster and Vancouver, you’re central to everything. Later this week I’ll be showing one of the two-bedroom units to show what central living can look like.

Today is our last look at The Poco, and there’s a couple of things I want to highlight about the project. I love that this is a smaller development that fits with a lot of the current density of the neighbourhood.

The homes themselves are smartly laid out to maximize usable living space, and lots of windows help to provide natural light.

Let’s take a look at The Poco. This is a limited release apartment building, developed by Rapture Developments and the Azure Properties Group, and offers a collection of 1, 2 and 3-bedroom units.

There are only 38 units in the development and they are selling quickly. Part of what I think is drawing people’s interest is the location. You’re only minutes away from downtown Port Coquitlam, and steps away from the Port Coquitlam community centre. As an added bonus, owners get a five year pass to the community centre, one for each person living in each unit.

Thursday I’ll have more to show you, including a little bit of the presentation centre’s display suite.

I loved being able to explore and take video of this junior two-bedroom unit at Inlet District. This efficiently laid out unit has two bedrooms and one bathroom, and plenty of entertaining space in the main living area.

The primary bedroom has lots of natural light coming in from the big window overlooking your balcony, which stretches across the length of the unit.
