Heritage Value: Aubrey Avenue School was built in 1959 to help alleviate the increased enrolment at other North Burnaby schools due to the development of new subdivisions such as Brentwood, Capitol Hill and Westridge. Additions to the original structure were made in 1962, 1963, 1964, 1967 and 1972.

Heritage Value: After its initial subdivision and development in the early 1950s, the Parkcrest-Audrey Neighbourhood continued to be a primarily residential area. In the 1980 Residential Neighbourhood Environment Study, the area was characterised as a stable residential neighbourhood that was served by the major collector streets Holdom, Broadway, Parker and Kensington.

Heritage Value: On May 10, 1951, the Burnaby News-Courier reported on the new Parkcrest subdivision, saying: "Central Burnaby is the scenic locale of a successful attempt to produce modern houses economically and yet avoid the mass production effect common to other housing developments. That is one of the many highlights peculiar to the new Parkcrest development of 275 homes...By giving home purchasers a wide choice of finishes, extras and colours, hundreds of variations are possible on the six basic floor plans...Travelling time by car to Hastings and Granville from Parkcrest has been clocked at 15 minutes...Both primary and junior high schools are within walking distance. A modern shopping centre is planned for the future...Several streets are laid out in a straight but irregular manner, thus eliminating the prosaic side by side appearance block by block, as in other housing developments."
