District of West Vancouver - West Vancouver, BC

West Vancouver is a municipal district made up of individual neighbourhoods between the mountains and the waterfront, rather than a single residential development. Housing is predominantly detached single-family homes, supplemented by apartments and smaller concentrations of duplexes, triplexes, and townhomes. For adults 55+, the District operates a dedicated Seniors' Activity Centre offering fitness, rehabilitation, arts, learning, dining and social programs. The municipality also provides extensive waterfront and outdoor recreation facilities, including beaches, tennis, pickleball and golf.

HOMES

West Vancouver's housing stock is primarily detached single-family homes, with apartments and limited pockets of duplexes, triplexes and townhomes. The District has no single builder or standardized floor-plan program because housing is distributed across established neighbourhoods and individual developments. Current development activity includes single-family, townhouse, rental and multifamily proposals. As a municipality rather than a subdivision, West Vancouver does not have a single verified community-wide floor-plan range or builder price list.

AMENITIES

Municipal recreation facilities provide a broad range of amenities. Ambleside Park has three tennis courts, four dedicated pickleball courts, a designated swimming area and an 18-hole waterfront par-3 golf course. The Seniors' Activity Centre serves adults 55+ with fitness, rehabilitation, arts, learning, social and dining facilities, while the District also operates recreation centres and additional tennis and pickleball courts throughout West Vancouver. These facilities are municipal amenities rather than shared facilities belonging to one homeowners association.
