Hot Listings: Condos in Cariboo & Duplex Homes in Burnaby for Sale

If you've ever spent a weekend driving through Burnaby and Cariboo neighborhoods, peeking at "For Sale" signs and imagining yourself living there, you know exactly what I'm talking about. There's something magical about finding that perfect home where you can already picture your morning coffee routine or see your kids playing in the backyard.

As someone who walks through these neighborhoods every day, I get genuinely excited when I spot listings that make me think, "Someone's going to absolutely love this place." Today, I want to share some exceptional condos for sale in Cariboo and duplex for sale in Burnaby that aren't just good on paper, but feel like home the moment you step inside.

Why Cariboo Has Captured Everyone's Attention

Caribo is this little pocket of North Burnaby has this amazing ability to surprise people. I've lost count of how many clients have said, "I had no idea this neighborhood existed!" after their first visit. It strikes the perfect balance by being close enough to feel connected to the city, but far enough to have its own distinct personality.

The best part? When clients call me six months after moving to Cariboo, they're always raving about something new they've discovered. Maybe it's the walking trails they didn't notice during the first viewing, or how easy their commute turned out to be.

The Condo That's Got Everyone Talking

2305 – 9603 Manchester Drive is one of those condos for sale in Cariboo that photographs well but feels even better in person. At $789,000 for three bedrooms and two bathrooms across 1,215 square feet, it's about how the space actually lives and not just about the numbers.

I walked through this unit last week, and here's what struck me: the morning light. The way it fills that open-concept living area makes you want to linger over breakfast. The renovations aren't flashy, but they're smart—wide-plank laminate that actually looks like hardwood, kitchen appliances that work as hard as you do, and enough storage that you won't be playing Tetris with your belongings.

But here's the real kicker! Step outside and you're literally steps from Lougheed SkyTrain. No transfer anxiety, no parking fees, just grab your coffee and go.

More Cariboo Opportunities Worth Your Time

1105 – 9623 Manchester Drive at $688,000 caught my attention for different reasons. This 2-bedroom, 2-bathroom unit has something you can't fake, panoramic city views that make you feel like you're living in a postcard. At 969 square feet, it's efficiently designed without feeling cramped. Perfect for someone who wants to come home and actually relax.

For budget-conscious buyers, 1901 – 9603 Manchester Drive at $675,000 proves that smaller doesn't mean settling. This high-floor 2-bedroom unit has the kind of natural light and views that make 879 square feet feel generous. Sometimes the best value isn't about getting the most space, it's about getting the right space.

The Duplex Revolution in Burnaby

Now, let's talk about something I'm seeing more and more: smart buyers discovering the duplex for sale in Burnaby market. More than just houses, these are lifestyle solutions for families who want space to actually live, not just exist.

Properties That Solve Real Problems

6685 Halifax Street in Parkcrest at $1,680,000 is what I call a "family-friendly entry point." Four bedrooms, three bathrooms, 2,050 square feet, and a fenced yard where kids and dogs can be kids and dogs. The location near Sperling SkyTrain means parents can still have reasonable commutes while giving their family room to grow.

For investors or multi-generational families, 5628 Chaffey Avenue in Central Park at $2,448,000 tells a different story. Six bedrooms, five bathrooms, 3,154 square feet, and a legal 3-bedroom rental suite. In today's rental market, that income potential can make a significant dent in your mortgage payment.

5280 Venables Street in Parkcrest offers something unique: identical farmhouse-style units at $2,488,000 each. Six bedrooms, six bathrooms, approximately 3,246 square feet. These work beautifully for families who want everyone to have their own space, or for investors who understand that quality properties in established neighborhoods hold their value.

The newest addition to the duplex for sale in Burnaby lineup is 7880 15th Street in Edmonds at $1,868,000. Built in 2024, this corner lot property gives you that new-home feeling with modern efficiency standards. The bonus flex room acknowledges today’s reality where sometimes you need a home office, sometimes a study space, sometimes just a quiet retreat from family chaos.

Finally, 4857 Victory Street in Metrotown at $2,189,000 offers something special: walkability to one of Metro Vancouver's major shopping and transit hubs. Four bedrooms, four bathrooms across 2,145 square feet means most families can spread out comfortably, and the 2004 construction gives you that sweet spot of quality without new-build premiums.

Questions I Hear Every Week

Absolutely. The condos for sale in Cariboo  range from $675,000 to $789,000, which means there's flexibility for different budgets. More importantly, the transit access means you're not tied to owning a car, which can save hundreds monthly in insurance, gas, and parking.

Honestly, when you break down what you're getting, many of these duplexes for sale in Burnaby offer better value per square foot than comparable single-family homes. With these homes, you don’t just own the house but also the land, unlike strata homes, and so you are spared of paying the strata/HOA fees, which will save you around $1000+. Plus, if you find one with a legal suite, you're looking at immediate rental income of around $1500 to $2500 a month, depending on your location, that can offset your mortgage significantly.

I always tell clients: visit at different times of day. Drive through on a Tuesday morning, a Saturday afternoon, and a Sunday evening. Each tells you something different about the community, traffic patterns, and daily life rhythm.

My Honest Take on the Market

The Metro Vancouver market doesn't pause for anyone, but that doesn't mean you should rush into decisions. These listings represent genuine opportunities, but the right choice depends entirely on your specific situation like your commute, your family plans, or your financial comfort zone.

I've been doing this long enough to know that the best real estate decisions aren't about finding the "perfect" property, they're about finding the property that's perfect for you, right now, with room to grow into your future plans.
