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.
Beautiful Living
Edgemont Village provides a variety of options for housing, from relaxed condos to detached homes. Condominiums start at about $650,000, while detached homes start at around $1.7 million. Many single homes have been newly redeveloped, providing many appealing new housing options to this community. Edgemont Village does not currently have any large developments ongoing, which contributes to the quiet, clean feeling of the community.
Educational Emphasis

At Handsworth Secondary school, older young people will benefit from the school’s emphasis on developing education in a broader social and global context.
