About Area
Renfrew Heights offers mostly detached homes on larger lots with many having tenant suites on the lower level and laneway homes in the back. Many home owners work in labor, services & trades commuting to North Van & Burnaby for work. Historically, this was a Chinese and Italian neighborhood, with most of the community built in the 1960’s- 1980’s. Many of the homes are now renovated and updated with open floorplans and views of the North shore mountains and the homes in original condition are much easier to modernize then those from the earlier part of the 20th century. Populated by many parks and schools, families have access to commercial and retail sales resources along Grandview Hwy and up along Kingsway. Connected by Skytrains, buses and bikeways, this area is great for those without a car while still feeling quietly removed from urbanity.
