Why people love West Vancouver

  • Families wanting space
  • Outdoor lovers
  • Luxury buyers
  • Downsizers

West Vancouver sits between the mountains and the sea, just across the Lions Gate Bridge from downtown. Its waterfront villages, Ambleside and Dundarave, are made for long walks, beach days and sunset dinners.

This is one of Canada's most prestigious places to live, with larger lots, architect-designed homes and sweeping views. Excellent public and private schools and easy access to Cypress Mountain make it a favourite for families.
