Willingdon Heights
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Willingdon Heights is a neighbourhood in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada. It is named after a major Burnaby thoroughfare, Willingdon Avenue, connecting North Burnaby with Kingsway and the Metrotown area in the south. Willingdon Heights was developed significantly during construction spurred by the National Housing Act in 1944 that made mortgage money more widely available and provided joint loans for housing for veterans under the Integrated Housing Plan (IHP).[1]
Willingdon Heights is located between two major north–south roads—Boundary Road to the west and Willingdon Avenue to the east. Its northern border lies along busy Hastings Street, while the equally busy Lougheed Highway marks its southern limits.
