For grabbing your groceries, PBF Pita Bread Factory is a 6-minute walk. For those days you just want to be indoors, look no further than Jane Appleby Art Gallery to keep you occupied for hours. You are a short distance away from great parks like Burnaby Lake Regional Nature Park and Eagle Creek Ravine Park.

Without a car, you can get around quite easily. The closest transit stop is a BusStop (Eastbound Government Rd @ Jensen Place) and is an 8-minute walk, but there is also a Subway stop, Lake City Way Station Platform 2, a 12-minute walk connecting you to the TransLink. It also has (Bus) route 110 Lougheed Station/metrotown Station nearby.
