While almost all the 500 most valuable residential properties in B.C. are located in Vancouver, a search through a list released by the B.C. Assessment Authority on Tuesday shows Whistler, West Vancouver, Burnaby, Nanoose Bay and Surrey also contain some very expensive homes.
Here are five notable homes on the list:

This home was built on an 11-acre parcel of land near Alta Lake in 2021 and has eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. The 16,000 square foot home also has an outdoor infinity pool.
On July 1, 2022, it was valued at $32,962,000, which means it’s gone down six per cent in worth over the past year.
2. 2588 Bellevue Ave., West Vancouver ($27,831,000)
Situated on a 37,000-square-foot waterfront lot, this 9,300-square-foot home has three bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
It has gone down in value by six per cent since July 1, 2022.
3. 7868 Government Rd., Burnaby ($26,318,000)
The pride of Burnaby and internationally renowned singer Michael Bublé’s home came in at No. 38 in the top 500 list. It is also the only Burnaby property to make that list.
The 12,000-square-foot building was completed in 2018 after years of construction right across the road from Bublé’s childhood elementary school.
It sits on a large lot and, according to an interview Bublé did with TV host Kelly Ripa, it has an ice rink in the basement.
The home was assessed at $25,529,000 in 2023, so it has gone up in value by three per cent.
