Neighbourhood guide

Living in Deer Lake

Deer Lake is an established, largely low-density residential area regarded as Burnaby's cultural hub, wrapped around Deer Lake Park in central Burnaby. It includes several higher-end enclaves and the city's main arts and heritage venues.

Location & boundaries

It lies in central Burnaby around Deer Lake, roughly between Burnaby Lake and Metrotown and near Burnaby City Hall, and takes in areas such as Deer Lake Place, Upper Deer Lake and Buckingham Heights.

History

The nearby Oakalla lands, once a provincial prison farm, were redeveloped for housing and parkland after the facility closed, under a city development plan adopted in the early 1990s.

Housing & property types

Housing is mostly low-density single-family homes, including large custom-built houses in Buckingham Heights, with denser townhouses and apartments concentrated toward Oakland Street to the south.

Parks & recreation

Deer Lake Park has walking trails, open meadows and a lake, and connects the area's cultural facilities on foot.

Schools

Public schools serving the area are operated by the Burnaby School District (School District 41).

Attractions & landmarks

The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts, the Burnaby Art Gallery in the historic Fairacres Mansion, and the open-air Burnaby Village Museum with its restored carousel all sit within the park.

Community facilities

The Shadbolt Centre for the Arts and Burnaby Art Gallery act as the city's principal cultural civic facilities.

Who it may suit

May suit buyers wanting quiet, higher-end detached homes near parkland and cultural venues.
