To each his own, clearly.

North Burnaby is probably the best neighbourhood in Burnaby but that's almost entirely because it's a copy of Vancouver. If you look at satellite images you'll see that it's the one part of Burnaby which is largely indistinguishable from Vancouver - it features similar lot sizes, similar lighting (find night photos of the two sides), and similar attention to liveability/accessibility (good access to stores, nice sidewalks, useful traffic calming). It might as well be part of Vancouver (and the housing prices there show it).
Brentwood less so though - that is clearly a Burnaby neighbourhood. I live over in Garden Village (North of Central Park) and that whole area is clearly a couple levels lower in quality than Vancouver.
