Village: Ambleside

Ambleside Village is located in the heart of West Vancouver. Lying a few blocks west of the Lions Gate Bridge and adjacent to the waterfront and beach (Ambleside Park), this local area is full of tiny stores and businesses. Lots of restaurants and boutiques line the main corridor of Marine Drive and area residents can easily walk to almost everything. In the summer months it is a hub of activity with art galleries, events, concerts and more. Municipal hall, the local library and several other civic services (police, fire, community centres) are also nearby. Some of Canada’s wealthiest condo apartments are here, each one with breathtaking water and mountain views. Taking a walk down the street is a pleasure as is strolling along the seawall / seawalk which is always busy on both sunny and stormy days.
