- Lower
Lonsdale
is part of the original North Vancouver town site, bordered on the
north by Keith Road and on the south by the waters of the Burrard
Inlet. It is the only part of North Vancouver that has very easy access
to Downtown because of the Seabus (ferries that go back and
forth between the heart of Downtown and North Vancouver all day).
- While
a few “character” homes remain, the vast majority have been replaced
by apartments and townhouse developments. Some of the newer construction
offers fantastic views of Burrard Inlet and Downtown Vancouver.
- Lower
Lonsdale now consists mainly of multi-family or commercial/retail
properties. It is full of apartments and thus houses many of the young
people of the City of North Vancouver. Its real estate offers
both some of the most reasonable prices on the North Shore and some
of the most expensive, particularly for new apartments.
- Lower
Lonsdale is undergoing a strong re-development phase, with
an emphasis on a more urban setting than it had originally. This
will include a hotel, multiple residential buildings, a museum
and more public access to the waterfront.
It’s “crown jewel” is currently the Lonsdale Quay area, with
it’s fresh food market and the nearby Waterfront
Park.
- Much
of the old shipyards buildings (shown below) are now gone, soon to
be replaced by the Shipyards or
the Pier, a new collections of buildings with
different offerings ranging from, as mentioned above, a museum to
residential apartments.
- General
Price Range in Lower Lonsdale: from $150,000 to
$1,500,000
