Austin Heights, nestled against the slopes that rise from the Fraser River, presents a landscape of rolling hills softened by a generous cloak of evergreen and deciduous trees. It lies 18.0 km east of Vancouver, BC (from Vancouver, BC: bearing 94°T), and is situated 7.7 km east of Burnaby. The air here, especially after a rain, carries the damp, loamy scent of the forest floor, mingled with the faint, briny whisper of the distant Pacific. Sunlight, when it breaks through the coastal clouds, often falls in broad, golden shafts, illuminating the leafy canopies and glinting off the slate grey roofs of homes that cling to the inclines, their gardens spilling over with rhododendrons and ferns. This is a place where the urban edge meets a persistent, wilder green, a gentle push and pull that defines the very character of Austin Heights. The history of Austin Heights is deeply intertwined with the fertile lands that once sustained it, a legacy hinted at in the mature fruit trees that still stubbornly bear fruit in some older orchards, a testament to the agricultural roots that predated much of its modern development. Logging and its associated industries were a vital part of the region's early economy, and while those days have largely passed, the echoes can still be felt in the sturdy, timber-framed architecture of some of the older buildings. Today, the economic pulse of Austin Heights beats with a more varied rhythm, a blend of local businesses serving the neighbourhood and the steady hum of commuters heading to larger centres, all contributing to the quiet, consistent life of this distinct locality.
