- Lynn
Valley
is named for John Linn
one of the pioneers of this part of the North Shore. Bordered
to the east by Lynn Canyon Park, to the north by Lynn Headwaters Regional
Park and the Greater Vancouver Regional District Watershed, the Lynn
Valley area is wide-spread but limited in its expansion. Two main
roads bisect the area: Lynn Valley Road and Mountain Highway.
- Most
of the residential development in Lynn Valley took place from the
late fifties through the seventies, though one can find a few homes
from the early part of the 20th century. Nowadays, most new construction
is either “in-fill” or re-development.
- Lynn
Valley is an area with more schools than any other on the North Shore,
reflecting the preponderance of single family homes that make up its
fabric. Five public schools from elementary to high school and one
private school serve the inhabitants.
- Most
homes in Lynn Valley are traditional family homes with fairly generous
lots. There is also, at times, a mixture of lot sizes within a single
block area.
-
Some townhouse complexes and apartments are also available. Recently,
there has been quite a bit of building going on in the heart of Lynn
Valley, in an area called Lynn Valley Centre. This has added a substantial
number of new apartments along with a some townhomes to the stock
offered by Lynn Valley
- The
proximity of many parks, nature in general and numerous activities
is a major attraction for the majority of Lynn Valley residents.
- Price
Range: from $45,000 to $1,999,000 with an median
list price of approx. $729,000.

Shopping:
5
minutes away:
At the heart of Lynn Valley is Lynn Valley
Centre, which offers a large food store, a department store, a
liquor store and numerous other small boutiques, banks and other services.
The Centre and the surrounding neighbourhood is currently going through
a re-birth and redevelopment, including the moving of the current
library to a new site.
The
Black Bear Pub was added a few years ago and is worth
the visit for both the architecture and the atmosphere.
Not
far to the south, is the Park and Tilford Shopping Centre -
at the foot of Mountain Highway, at Brooksbank &
Keith Road.
A
few minutes drive to the west on Keith, takes you to Lonsdale
Ave, a broad commercial avenue running north-south through
North Vancouver and offering a multitude of shopping and entertainment.
