Braemar
Braemar
Located above the Upper Levels Hwy and span all the way from just slightly West of Lonsdale all the way East to Lynn Valley. A lot of homes are perched on the hill and have spectacular views of the city, ocean and even out to Howe Sound! There are three things that really stand out about these two neighbourhoods, and that is the views, the surrounding forest and trails, and the big, beautiful homes! Braemar is a young neighbourhoods in North Vancouver. What I mean by young is that these neighbourhoods were later additions to the North Shore and most of the homes here were constructed in the late 80s and 90s. The key difference between Braemar and Upper Lonsdale is that the homes in Braemar are bigger and sit on even bigger lots.The demographic here is made up of long-term residents- most of which are big families! Which would make sense considering a lot of these homes have 5 or more bedrooms. One of the special things about Braemar is that to the North of the neighbourhood, you are entirely surrounded by forest! Did you know?? Within these forests, you’ll find some of the best, world-renowned mountain biking trails in North America! Seriously! Any mountain biker you ask knows about “Mt Fromme” You’ll also find that there are a lot of cul-du-sacs here which offer a feeling of seclusion and privacy- something a lot of people appreciate up here!

Cons
Braemar is situated on a hill, which can make it challenging for certain people to get about, is one potential drawback of living there. In addition, the area's real estate costs are generally greater than those in nearby North Vancouver communities, which can make it less affordable for certain locals. The region is also somewhat removed from the city, making it less practical for those who frequently commute to work or use urban facilities.
