Sea Island Real Estate

Sea Island is the home to YVR  and a very special residential area of Richmond named Burkeville.  Burkeville  is where you will find Sea Island Real Estate and was planned and established during World War II to house workers in the Boeing aircraft plant and other local aircraft industries on Sea Island.   Cozy homes, between 700-900 sq ft consisting of 4-6 rooms  were constructed  on ample lots, typically 50 x 100 feet.   Many of the original detached homes remain and have been modernized.   Other homes, due to the generous lot size, have been replaced by larger homes.   Situated just south of the Arthur Laing Bridge, exiting onto Granville Street in Vancouver West, Burkeville provides convenient access to Vancouver.   Burkeville has excellent community spirit, its own parks, school, community centre, fire hall and tennis courts.  

Sea Island is in the estuary of the Fraser River and offers two public beaches.   McDonald Beach, located on the northern end of the island, is a recreational facility, with picnic areas and boat docking available. Iona Beach features a walking trail into the Sturgeon Bank, information on the flora and fauna and allows a natural rather than recreational environment to be enjoyed.
