Brentwood — Walkability, Transit, and Commute
A focused reference on walkability + transit in Brentwood, drawn from the broader Brentwood area page — pulled out as its own page so it’s scannable on its own.
Three Millennium Line SkyTrain stations sit inside Brentwood: Gilmore (Lougheed and Gilmore), Brentwood Town Centre (Lougheed and Willingdon) and Holdom (Lougheed and Holdom) all opened August 31, 2002. Headways 3–5 minutes peak, 6–8 minutes off-peak. Travel time from Brentwood Town Centre to Commercial-Broadway is ~12 minutes; downtown via the Expo Line transfer is 25–30 minutes door-to-door.
SFU (Burnaby Mountain) is reachable by SkyTrain and 145 bus in ~30 minutes; UBC by SkyTrain and 99 / 49 bus in 50–60 minutes. By car, Highway 1 access via Willingdon and Gilmore puts most addresses 25–40 minutes from downtown. The three-station density is the structural difference between Brentwood and the other Burnaby town centres outside Metrotown.
