Metrotown Station — what "walking distance" means here
Metrotown is Metro Vancouver's second downtown — the Expo Line's densest node. Concrete-tower presales here consistently benchmark against Vancouver's Cambie Corridor. Metrotown sits on the Expo Line (Open). The projects below are within roughly a 5–15 minute walk of the station box, which is the distance lenders, renters and future resale buyers actually price in — anything past about 800 m stops trading as a transit-oriented home.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many presale condos are selling near Metrotown Station?
4 active presale projects are currently selling within walking distance of Metrotown Station in Burnaby. Station-area inventory turns over quickly — register for VIP alerts to see releases first.
What do presale condos near Metrotown start at?
Walk-to-Metrotown presale condos currently start at $519,000 at Ethos. Station-adjacent pricing usually carries a premium over the wider Burnaby market because of rental demand and resale liquidity.
When does Metrotown Station open?
Metrotown is already open and operating on the Expo Line, so the transit premium is already reflected in pricing here — you are buying proven walkability rather than a future promise.
Are transit-oriented presale condos better for rental income?
Generally yes. Units within a short walk of SkyTrain rent faster, hold occupancy in slower markets, and appeal to a wider tenant pool. That said, run the numbers on the specific building — strata fees, parking allocation and unit mix matter as much as the station distance.
Do I need parking if I buy near Metrotown?
Many station-area buildings sell parking separately or cap stalls per unit. If you plan to rent the unit out, a stall usually adds rent and resale liquidity in Burnaby; if you are car-free, skipping it can lower both your price and monthly strata cost. We check the parking allocation before you write.
What deposit is required on a presale condo near Metrotown?
Deposits on Burnaby presale condos typically total 5–15% of the purchase price under 2026 BC practice, paid in staged installments over 12–24 months and held in trust by the developer's lawyer. Buyers earn no interest on those deposits.
Does your representation cost me anything?
For most presale projects the developer pays our buyer-agent commission out of a price they have already set, so representation typically costs the buyer nothing and the contract price is usually identical either way. We confirm this on each project before you commit.
