Canterbury WV
Canterbury
One of the most famous districts in the Lower Mainland, if not the entire Province, includes Canterbury! The British Properties are renowned for their opulent, never-before-seen houses with million-dollar views. The Guinness family and a group of investors first acquired 4,000 acres of land from the District of West Vancouver in 1931, which is when the British Properties first appeared on the scene. The original idea was to create remarkable neighbourhoods that were remote but not too far from the metropolis. The British Properties are still one of the most sought-after neighbourhoods in the area since this idea is still relevant today. It's understandable why the British Properties is so popular given its breathtaking vistas, opulent residences, and close access to the city.
