Lower Lonsdale
Lower Lonsdale is situated along nearly 5 kilometers of the Burrard Inlet and comprises The City of North Vancouver's waterfront. An area traditionally known as the industrial heart of the North Shore, it is now home to the area's finest and most luxurious condominium real estate.
The region has grown from what was once a logging and shipping town of 2,000 into a diverse and vibrant award winning municipality of more then 48,000 citizens. Combining its rich history and technological infrastructure, this modern community ranks among the West Coast's most sought after regions. The Planning Commission with the City of North Vancouver has been working diligently to ensure that all re-development in the rapidly growing area is done in a sustainable fashion. With a series of old and new condominium development projects, including plans for more new waterfront construction, this environment is clearly in transition and is only going to get better.
With its close connection to Downtown Vancouver, sustainable urban development, state of the art infrastructure, and careful preservation of heritage & green space Lower Lonsdale is the perfect region to work, play - and of course invest in quality real estate. Real estate in the Lower Lonsdale has been highly active for a number of years, as the city has shifted away from industry and has moved toward more urban residential. One of main factors precipitating the rapid growth in this region, is the fact that it encompasses the concept of live, work and play within the same neighbourhood. In addition, as the area is considered more affordable for condos and townhouses (in comparison with the rest of the North Shore) many first time homebuyers have migrated into this area; and people who have previously rented - are now buying.
As the rental market in Lonsdale is the strongest on the North Shore, Lower Lonsdale attracts many investors, both large and small, who are interested in securing rental properties in this developing region. Additionally, as people age, they too are turning to Lower Lonsdale as an area offering maintenance free real estate in a vibrant community, close to amenities. As testament to a vibrant community, one can find vast amounts of people walking along the welcoming streets, going to and from places such as, the Lonsdale Quay, the sea wall, cafes, parks, recreational centers, and numerous boutiques and offices on any given day.
