West Vancouver

With a population of right around 43,000 residents, West Vancouver is mainly a residential district that's home to the second-largest percentage of people 65 or older in all of British Columbia. Although many retirees call this affluent part Vancouver's North Shore home, its short commute to downtown, also makes it a great option for homebuyers who are still working in the city.

The 25 block stretch of Marine Drive in West Vancouver's main commercial district is where you'll find a relatively high concentration of restaurants, cafés, boutique shops, and small offices for those who work in the area. When it comes to homes for sale in West Vancouver, the real estate market here offers some of the largest and most expensive homes you'll find in the entire Metro Vancouver region. In fact, West Vancouver is widely considered to be one of the wealthiest municipalities not just in the Vancouver area, but in all of Canada. Breathtaking waterfront estates and spectacular mansion homes with magnificent views of the bay and mountainous backdrop fill the real estate landscape here, and if you're interested in a home or property for sale anywhere in West Vancouver, expect to pay a premium.
