New to Greentree Village

Greentree Village is a 1970s master-planned townhouse neighbourhood in central Burnaby, laid out along Garden Grove Drive with cul-de-sacs named for trees: Laurelwood, Cedarglen, Driftwood, Birchwood, Willowdale, Elmgrove, Fernglen, Greentree Place.

There is no single Greentree Village strata. Each cluster is its own corporation, with its own bylaws, budget, and property manager. A rule you hear on Facebook may belong to a different plan.

The atlas on the home page colours those clusters. Search an address — 3817 Garden Grove Drive is the worked example — and you will see the plan number, typical internet, and utilities for that pocket.

The indoor pool at the community centre, 4295 Garden Grove Drive, is the midpoint of the village. Everything north of that building along Garden Grove is Greentree North. Everything south of it is Greentree South.

North takes in Laurelwood, Willowdale, Cedarglen, Driftwood, Birchwood, and Garden Grove 38xx–39xx. South takes in Elmgrove, Fernglen, Greentree Place, and the Garden Grove addresses past the centre.

Two plans sit on the line: NWS603 (Garden Grove 4102–4396) and the six units at Village Drive. The atlas marks those as spanning the pool. An address north of 4295 is still Greentree North, even when the strata plan continues south.

Write down your strata plan number from the Form B, a fee statement, or the legal description on title. For 3817 Garden Grove Drive that number is NWS310 (Lot 64).

Email the manager using the template in Find your strata and ask for bylaws, rules, the resident portal, and how to report repairs.

Set up BC Hydro, FortisBC gas, and City of Burnaby utilities if they did not transfer with the sale. Book internet only after you confirm fibre versus cable at the unit.

Join the residents’ Facebook group (proof of address required) and bookmark the community centre at 4295 Garden Grove Drive.

Read the City of Burnaby bylaws that still apply on top of strata rules: noise, waste, parking on public streets, and construction.

Cluster boundaries follow the City of Burnaby legal parcel for each strata plan, and the individual lots where the houses are freehold. They are a reading of that open data, not a survey. Always verify your plan on title before you renovate, rent, or argue a bylaw.

Internet and utility notes describe typical service for the cluster in 2026. Providers change drops street by street. Confirm with TELUS, Rogers, FortisBC, and BC Hydro using your unit number.

There is no public Greentree-wide maintenance calendar. Schedules live with each council, manager, and resident portal.
