North Vancouver

Lower Lonsdale Real Estate

Lower Lonsdale has been one of North Vancouver's most dramatically changed neighbourhoods since the 1990's. A plan was made to redevelop the area's industrial elements and transform the community into a modern living destination along the waterfront. The Lower Lonsdale real estate market has been booming ever since, with the construction of low and high rise condos and luxury townhouses. There is also plenty of character in the area as many of the older buildings remain, keeping with the historical integrity and charm of the community.

More About Lower Lonsdale Homes

When many people think of Lower Lonsdale, the Quay and the Shipyards District come to mind, but the community actually extends all the way up to Keith Road, where it meets Victoria Park and Central Lonsdale.

Lower Lonsdale is one of the oldest areas in North Vancouver, and you will find properties here that date back to the early 1900’s. At any given time, you will only find a handful of heritage homes or new houses for sale, but there are plenty of options when it comes to condos in Lower Lonsdale — both old and new.

The Lower Lonsdale Condo Market

Lower and Central Lonsdale continue to be the most active housing markets in the area, and they also happen to be the most popular communities for condo living in North Vancouver. If you would like to learn more about the various buildings, be sure to check out our Lower Lonsdale Condos page. Here you will find apartment-style condo listings along with plenty of area photos and descriptions of some of the most popular developments.
