To me, Brentwood is an eyesore. And its going to keep getting worse. No sign of construction slowing down. Its just going to be another Metrotown.
Meh, I don’t spend a lot of time staring at the sidewalk. With Brentwood if you’re in the right tower you have killer views of the North Shore, downtown and the SSC. On top of that:
- 5 to 10 minute walk to skytrain
- 20 to 35 minute commute downtown depending time of day
- 5 to 10 minute walk to groceries/shopping
- 5 to 15 minute walk to food/restaurants
- 15 minute drive to Seymour/Fromme in the mornings on weekends
- 25 minute pedal to SFU
- 20 to 30 minute drive to Eagle/Burke
Brentwood is just about smack in the middle of the mtb riding zones in metro Van, close to the highway for Squam/Whis/Valley riding and has lots of amnenities right at your doorstep. Real estate is also cheaper than the Shore with no worries about being trapped by a bridge incident. There is a large list of reasons to consider Brentwood as home base if you’re a rider.
