Presales Profile

Housing Types

The presale market in Edmonds is characterized by a shift toward higher-density forms. Concrete high-rise condominiums are the dominant housing type, particularly around the SkyTrain station and within the expansive Southgate City master plan, where towers reach up to 50 storeys. The area also offers wood-frame mid-rise buildings and townhomes, often found in the podiums of larger towers or as infill developments like Element 2, providing options for families seeking ground-oriented living.

The Edmonds Presale Condos Buyer

Edmonds appeals to a diverse demographic, including first-time buyers and investors seeking a lower price point than nearby Metrotown while retaining SkyTrain access. The area attracts young families drawn to the new community centre and schools, as well as professionals who commute to Downtown Vancouver or Surrey.

Your Guide to Edmonds Living

Shopping & Services

The primary retail destination is Highgate Village, an open-air commercial centre anchored by a Save-On-Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart, and Club 16 Trevor Linden Fitness. The surrounding Kingsway corridor complements this with a wide array of independent businesses, including ethnic grocers and diverse dining options.

Parks & Recreation

Edmonds offers a modest mix of recreational spaces, with everyday amenities at Edmonds Park and forested trails in Byrne Creek Ravine Park that provide accessible options for play and quiet walks.

  • Edmonds Park: Located next to the community centre, this park includes a large playground, a water spray park, and sports courts for active recreation.
  • Byrne Creek Ravine Park: A substantial urban forest offering an extensive network of trails for hiking and walking, connecting directly to the urban residential areas.

Community Amenities & Schools

  • Schools: Edmonds Community Elementary, Taylor Park Elementary, Stride Avenue Community School, and Byrne Creek Community Secondary serve Edmonds Town Centre.
  • Edmonds Community Centre: A major municipal facility featuring an aquatic centre with a six-lane pool and waterslides, double gymnasium, and dedicated spaces for youth and seniors.
  • Burnaby Public Library: Situated near Highgate Village, the Tommy Douglas Branch also offers study space and community resources.

Transportation & Commuting

Edmonds offers strong regional connectivity via rapid transit and major arterials, with growing support for active transportation. However, local street design and infrastructure still prioritize through-traffic over pedestrian-friendly access.

  • Bus Network: The SkyTrain station includes a bus exchange with routes serving regional destinations such as New Westminster, Metrotown, and Simon Fraser University.
  • Cycling: The 26-kilometre BC Parkway is a multi-use path connecting Edmonds to Downtown Vancouver and New Westminster. The Edmonds Town Centre Cycling Network is adding protected lanes and neighbourhood bikeways.
  • Major Roads: Kingsway and Canada Way are the primary arterial routes that link to Vancouver, New Westminster, and Highway 1.

Is Edmonds Right for You?

Edmonds appeals to buyers seeking relative affordability, transit access, and a quieter, evolving urban centre with a mix of mid-rise living and everyday amenities. It’s well-suited to first-time homeowners, downsizers, and families who value walkability and proximity to schools, parks, and community services. The area’s ongoing transformation offers long-term potential for those comfortable with change. However, buyers looking for upscale retail, nightlife, or a polished urban experience may find Edmonds less aligned with their lifestyle.
