Capitol Hill in Burnaby, Canada, is a neighborhood known for its Italian, Portuguese, and Croatian expat communities. It's also a popular spot for students attending nearby Simon Fraser University. The area has a mix of single-family homes and apartment buildings, with the best views of downtown Vancouver, the mountains, and the water at the top of the hill. Notable residents have included inventor Donald Lewes Hings and artist Jack Shadbolt. The neighborhood is served by buses connecting to shopping areas, a swimming pool, library, and Brentwood Mall. There are parks and trails offering stunning views of Vancouver, the North Shore Mountains, and beyond. It's a great place to catch a sunset or watch fireworks over English Bay in the summer.
