Overview

Lynn Valley real estate sits where forested mountains meet a walkable village core, giving buyers a rare mix of single‑family homes, new condos and townhomes within ten minutes of both the Lions Gate Bridge and world‑class hiking. With a 2021 population of 6,026 (Areavibes) and a median age of 43, the neighbourhood blends young families with long‑time locals.

Location & Boundaries

Lynn Valley stretches north from Highway 1 to the forested slopes of Mount Fromme and Mount Seymour, book‑ended by Lynn Creek to the east and Princess Park to the west. Its heart is Lynn Valley Village, a plaza anchored by the district library, boutique shops and eateries. Downtown Vancouver is about a 20‑minute drive in light traffic, while Whistler is under 90 minutes up the Sea‑to‑Sky.

Housing & Pricing

The housing stock is a mix of 1950s ranchers on 50‑foot lots, West Coast contemporary infills, and multi‑phase condo projects like The Residences at Lynn Valley. Detached prices typically begin around $1.8 million, while two‑bedroom condos often list in the mid‑$800Ks. New townhomes hover near $1.3 million, offering an attainable entry point for upsizing city dwellers.

Transit & Accessibility

Even though Lynn Valley’s Walk Score clocks in at 77 (WalkScore), many residents still rely on cars for crosstown trips. The 210 and 240 express buses link the community to Burrard Station and downtown in roughly 35 minutes. A Transit Score of 57 (WalkScore 2025) means service is good but not rapid‑transit fast.

Parks & Recreation

Adventure is Lynn Valley’s calling card. Locals hit the Lynn Canyon Suspension Bridge before tourists arrive, swim at 30 Foot Pool, or tackle technical mountain‑bike lines on Fromme’s “Bobsled” and “Ladies Only” trails. On rainy days the Argyle Secondary turf fields buzz with soccer and ultimate.

Schools & Amenities

Lynn Valley Elementary and top‑rated Argyle Secondary serve most families, while French‑immersion options sit a short drive away. The village offers Save‑On‑Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart and a weekend farmers’ market, plus clinics, yoga studios and the newly rebuilt public library.

Market Trends & Data

North Vancouver’s median detached sale price in June 2025 was $2 180 000 (REBGV 2025‑06), while condos averaged $765 000 (REBGV 2025‑06). Sales‑to‑active ratios of 16 % for houses and 18.6 % for apartments point to a balanced market. Watch “Lynn Valley condo prices 2025” as new inventory at Lynn Creek comes online.
