Why Queensbury is a Top Choice for Homebuyers
Queensbury, a neighbourhood cherished for its charm and convenience, stands out as one of North Vancouver’s most desirable places to live. Located just south of Keith Road and east of Lower Lonsdale, Queensbury offers a unique blend of history, accessibility, and community living that appeals to families, professionals, and retirees alike. Here’s what makes this neighbourhood a top contender for homebuyers:
A Neighbourhood Rich in History
Queensbury’s roots stretch back to some of North Vancouver’s earliest days of development. During the 1940s, wartime houses were built here to house workers from Burrard Dry Dock and North Van Ship Repairs. Many of these historic homes still stand today, offering a mix of character and nostalgia. Alongside them, newer architectural builds have emerged, creating a diverse community of both history and modernity.
Central Location with Easy Transit
Nestled conveniently between Lower Lonsdale and Grand Boulevard, Queensbury is perfectly positioned for commuters. With close access to the Second Narrows Bridge, trips to Downtown Vancouver are quick and seamless. Public transportation options also make it easy to get around the North Shore and beyond. The Lynn Valley Streetcar once ran through Queensbury, and though the tracks no longer exist, the area retains its reputation as a transit-friendly locale.
Family-Friendly Amenities
Families are drawn to Queensbury because it combines quiet residential streets with an abundance of nearby amenities. Top-rated schools like Ridgeway Elementary and Brooksbank Elementary are within walking distance, ensuring high-quality education for kids. Beautiful green spaces, including Grand Boulevard Park and Moodyville Park, offer plenty of room for recreation, while nearby walking and cycling trails, like the Spirit Trail, encourage outdoor activities for all ages.
Local Shops and Dining
Queensbury has its own special flair when it comes to dining and shopping. Queensbury Avenue features a charming selection of local businesses, including eateries and specialty shops frequented by residents. For a broader selection, nearby Lonsdale Quay is a treasure trove of fresh markets, boutique stores, and cosy cafes. Whether you’re running errands or meeting friends for brunch, you’ll find plenty of options just minutes away.

Single-family homes here often sit on spacious lots and many have been upgraded with features like income-generating suites or laneway houses, making them appealing to both families and investors. Townhouses, such as those found in the “Green on Queensbury” development, provide contemporary living spaces with family-friendly layouts and amenities. These modern townhomes, especially those exceeding 960 sq. ft, come with the added benefit of two parking spaces, enhancing convenience for residents. For those seeking practical yet stylish living solutions, Queensbury’s condos stand out.

These price points make Queensbury a competitive market, attracting buyers who value quality and convenience.
