Nestled beneath Grouse Mountain just north of Vancouver, BC, Edgemont Village possesses all of the charms of a mountain resort town, with the convenience of downtown less than 10 km away via the Lions Gate Bridge! The village’s main thoroughfare, Edgemont Boulevard, is lined with a variety of delightful cafes and shops featuring specialty foods, locally grown produce, and artisan goods created right here in British Columbia.
