Norgate is a unique enclave
within the boundaries of North Vancouver. Originally developed in the 1940's
as worker housing for the people building ships in the shipyards, it has
evolved with time to be appreciated as one of the few places that offered
generous lots with ranch style (single level)
homes.
- Today, many of the area’s homes
have been renovated beyond recognition and are prized for their style.
Norgate is a quiet neighbourhood of shady, narrow crescents lined
by mature gardens.
-
One elementary school is located there,
probably reflecting the fact that, comparatively reasonably priced, Norgate
has been attracting young families in the last few years. The nearest high
schools are Carson Graham in Central Lonsdale
and Handsworth in Canyon Heights.
-
Price Range: from $250,000
to $350,000
