Whether you're a trail runner, a mountain biker, a skier, a hiker or all of the above, North Vancouver (North Van) offers something for every outdoor enthusiast. Situated on the east side of Vancouver's North Shore, North Van stretches from Capilano River and Lions Gate Bridge to Deep Cove and beyond, and is bordered to the north by seemingly endless remote mountain ranges. But this hilly rainforest community offers so much more than just its beautifully green great outdoors. With a population of over 117,000 divided into 2 municipalities (City and District of North Vancouver), North Van offers considerable community infrastructure (including shopping, restaurants, community centres, sports facilities, medical facilities, and numerous school for all levels of education) as well as a diverse variety of neighbourhood and housing types.
And while this community does have its fair share of larger, private and heavily-treed single family properties, considerable urban development and population growth over the years has introduced all types and price ranges of homes and neighbourhoods, offering a range of single family options, as well as everything from townhouses, to low-rise apartments, to luxury high-rises.
