South Slope, Burnaby

South Slope, sometimes referred to as Alta Vista, is a mainly single-family neighbourhood in Burnaby in British Columbia, Canada, just south of Metrotown. It borders Suncrest, an all single-family home neighbourhood to the west, and goes as far east as Byrne Creek Ravine. Although the northern boundary of South Slope is Rumble Street, many residents north of the street consider themselves as living in the neighbourhood, and a couple of institutions including South Slope Elementary, and Burnaby South Secondary School are located north of the neighbourhoods boundary. The neighbourhood gets its name from the steep slope it is located on. The neighbourhood is one of the oldest parts of the city, home to the still operating Nelson Elementary School, which is over a hundred years old, along with dozens of Heritage Homes.
