Burke Mountain Heights: A Sold-Out Foxridge Community — the Resale Read
An established Foxridge single-family community up the hill — sold out, so the way in is the resale market.
Only on resale. Burke Mountain Heights is a sold-out Foxridge Homes single-family community in Coquitlam. Foxridge doesn’t publish a street list, and MLS® listings usually say “Burke Mountain” rather than the community name, so start by confirming the builder on each listing. Then weigh the resale against Foxridge’s new homes on GST, warranty time left and condition.

Finding a Burke Mountain Heights home when the name isn’t on the listing
Foxridge Homes lists Burke Mountain Heights as one of its sold-out Coquitlam single-family communities, alongside Evergreen and The Ridge. It doesn’t publish a map or a street list. On MLS®, these homes usually show the sub-area “Burke Mountain”, so searching for the community name misses most of them. I work the other way round: I identify homes Foxridge built through BC Housing’s New Homes Registry, then check each listing’s builder and warranty record before I treat it as a Burke Mountain Heights comparable.
Resale Heights home or new Foxridge home?
Most buyers who ask about Burke Mountain Heights are also looking at Foxridge’s current homes. Timber’s Edge is selling now and Harper Peak is down to its final move-in-ready home. The trade-off is mostly tax and warranty. A new home from a builder carries GST and a full 2-5-10 warranty from first occupancy. A resale by an owner-occupier is usually GST-exempt and comes with whatever warranty time is left. I compare the two on total cost, not list price.
Who it fits
Burke Mountain Heights suits buyers who want a completed Foxridge single-family home without paying GST on a new build, and who accept that warranty time has already been used. It is a weaker fit if a full new-home warranty matters most to you, or if you need to move by a fixed date. Resales here are irregular, so a firm deadline can push you into the wrong house.
Living at Burke Mountain Heights: location and daily routine
Foxridge Homes hasn’t published where Burke Mountain Heights starts and stops. So I won’t give you a street list I can’t back up. What I can do is describe the routines that apply across this part of Coquitlam, then check the details for the specific house you are looking at.
Getting around. Burke Mountain is a car-first area for most families, but there is transit. TransLink route 191 runs between Princeton Avenue and Coquitlam Central Station, where you can connect to the Millennium Line or the weekday West Coast Express. How useful the bus is depends on the walk to the nearest stop and on the hill, so I time that walk from the actual address.
Hills and creeks. The City’s Smiling Creek Neighbourhood Plan notes the steep topography in parts of Burke Mountain. It also names West and East Smiling Creek and Burke Mountain Creek as environmentally sensitive areas with streamside protection. In practice, driveway slope, retaining walls and how close a lot is to a creek all affect daily life. They affect future plans too: Coquitlam asks owners to consult staff before adding units where there are creeks nearby or steep slopes.
Parks and trails. Harper Park, completed in December 2020, has 620 metres of trails and a wooden bridge over Smiling Creek. Pinecone Burke Provincial Park is reached from the end of Harper Road. BC Parks warns that much of its trail infrastructure is in poor condition and that dogs must be leashed.
Schools. SD43 draws catchments by address and can change them. Check the exact address on the SD43 School Locator before you rely on any school.
Buying at Burke Mountain Heights on resale: what I check
Every Burke Mountain Heights home is a resale now, and most of the risk is in what has happened to the house since Foxridge handed it over. This is my order of work.
- Confirm the builder. I check the address on BC Housing’s New Homes Registry. It shows the builder and the warranty provider, so I know the house is a Foxridge home and who to ask about claims.
- Count the warranty left. The 2-5-10 coverage is 2 years for materials and labour, 5 years for the building envelope and 10 years for structure. It runs from first occupancy or transfer of title, whichever came first, and BC Housing says it transfers to the next owner. On many older Burke homes the 5-year envelope cover has already ended. So the inspection matters more than the warranty.
- Read the title. I confirm whether the lot is freehold or in a bareland strata, and note any covenants or rights-of-way. If there is a strata, I read the Form B, bylaws, minutes and depreciation report. BC stratas can’t restrict long-term rentals; they can still limit short-term rentals, and 55+ age bylaws still apply.
- Check the slope. Retaining walls, drainage and driveway grade cost money to fix. I have the inspector look closely at them and ask the seller about any repairs.
- Check permits. A suite or finished basement needs a City building permit to be legal. I ask for permits and compare the utility bill’s suite surcharge.
- Compare with new. I set the total cost, including GST on a new home, beside Foxridge’s current releases.
These checks don’t predict future value. They tell you clearly what you are buying today.

Burke Mountain Heights: your questions, answered
Why can’t I find Burke Mountain Heights on a map?
Because Foxridge Homes doesn’t publish its boundaries. Its communities page lists Burke Mountain Heights as a sold-out single-family community in Coquitlam, with no street list or home count. MLS® uses the sub-area “Burke Mountain” for the whole slope. So I identify Foxridge-built homes through BC Housing’s New Homes Registry, which shows the builder and warranty provider. If you have an address in mind, that is the quickest way to check it.
Is Burke Mountain Heights the same community as The Ridge or Harper Peak?
No. Foxridge Homes lists Burke Mountain Heights, Evergreen and The Ridge as separate sold-out communities. Harper Peak is a newer Foxridge community that is down to its final move-in-ready home, and Timber’s Edge is selling now. They share a builder, not a plan, age or location. When I compare a Burke Mountain Heights listing with any of them, I adjust for build year, lot, finished basement and how much warranty time is left.
Do I pay GST on a Burke Mountain Heights resale?
Usually not. The Canada Revenue Agency says sales of used owner-occupied homes are usually exempt from GST, and only homes sold by builders are taxable. Most Burke Mountain Heights homes are now owned by people who live in them, so the sale is normally exempt. The exceptions are a seller who is a builder for tax purposes, such as someone who substantially renovated the home to sell it. Your lawyer or notary should confirm the GST status in the contract.
What paperwork should a Burke Mountain Heights seller give me?
At minimum: the warranty provider’s claims history, permits for any suite or finished space, and recent utility bills. BC Housing lets owners request a claims history from the provider for a fee capped at $25. Coquitlam says every secondary suite needs a building permit, and it charges a 40% utility surcharge for an authorized suite and 100% for an unauthorized one. The bill tells you which category the City has the home in.
How should I read Burke Mountain prices when looking at a Heights home?
As background, not as a price for one house. The Greater Vancouver REALTORS® Burke Mountain detached benchmark was $1,801,000 in August 2026, −6.8% year over year, with 5 detached sales and 65 active listings that month. Burke Mountain Heights isn’t reported on its own. I price a specific home from recent nearby sales of similar size, age and lot, then adjust for condition. If you’re selling here, a home evaluation starts there.
Does “Heights” mean every home here has a view?
No. A community name is a marketing label, and views on Burke Mountain depend on the lot, which way it faces and what has been built or planted around it since. Foxridge publishes no view information for Burke Mountain Heights. I check views in person, at different times of day if they matter to you, and look at what could be built on neighbouring lots before you pay extra for a view that might not last.
