Common questions

Is Braemar in the City or the District of North Vancouver?

The District. That decides the rulebook: District OCP Bylaw 7900, the North Lonsdale–Delbrook OCP Bylaw 6750 and District Zoning Bylaw 3210 apply — not the City's bylaws, even though Lonsdale Avenue addresses nearby sit in the City.

Can I buy a suite or coach house separately in Braemar?

No. Since June 2024 a principal dwelling, a secondary suite and a coach house (three units total) are permitted on single-family lots within the Urban Containment Boundary, but they are accessory units on one lot's title — there is no separate strata lot to buy unless a future stratification occurs.

What is the building going up at the Delbrook Lands — can I buy there?

No. At 600 West Queens Road, south-west of Braemar, the District's project is a neighbourhood park plus a four-storey building of low-to-moderate-income rental housing and a seniors' care facility (Bylaws 8397, 8398 and 8399, 2019) — rental and care, not strata.

If I buy a condo in a District centre instead, can the strata ban rentals?

Not for a long-term tenancy — rental-restriction bylaws have been unenforceable since November 24, 2022 anywhere in BC. A short-term rental bylaw can still bind, and a 55+ age bylaw can still limit who may live in the unit.

Which school is the Braemar draw, and does a Braemar address guarantee it?

École Braemar Elementary, 3600 Mahon Avenue, inside the area, offers English, Early French Immersion and Late French Immersion. SD44 has no middle tier (K–7 elementary, 8–12 secondary).

Are there any townhouses in Braemar?

The area is detached houses on R1/R2 lots. A "townhouse" search result carrying a Braemar label should be checked for whether the property is actually a suite or coach house inside a detached-house lot, or stock in a neighbouring centre.

Is a coach house the same as a townhouse here?

No. A coach house is a permitted second unit on a fee-simple detached lot under Zoning Bylaw 3210 — no strata, no Form B, no strata fees — alongside a secondary suite, three units total since June 2024 within the Urban Containment Boundary. It is not a townhouse complex.

Which municipality is Braemar in?

The District of North Vancouver, in the District's North Lonsdale–Delbrook planning area, alongside Delbrook, Norwood/Queens, Upper Delbrook and Carisbrooke.

Which school is in Braemar?

École Braemar Elementary, 3600 Mahon Avenue, with English, Early French Immersion and Late French Immersion programs as described by SD44; Carson Graham Secondary, 2145 Jones Avenue, is south of the area, and the catchment for a specific address should be confirmed with SD44.

What bus serves Delbrook Avenue and Mahon Avenue?

Route 249 runs via Delbrook Avenue and West Queens Road between Montroyal Boulevard at Glencanyon Drive and Lonsdale Quay, connecting to the SeaBus.

Condo buildings in Braemar

Streets, schools and transit near Braemar condos

  • Braemar is one of the neighbourhoods in the District of North Vancouver's North Lonsdale–Delbrook planning area, alongside Delbrook, Norwood/Queens, Upper Delbrook and Carisbrooke.
  • Where the District's condo stock concentrates — Lynn Valley Town Centre, Lions Gate Village and Edgemont Village — is outside Braemar.
  • Main streets: Mahon Avenue and Delbrook Avenue are the main north–south roads, West Queens Road crosses the south side, and Lonsdale Avenue to the west links south to Lonsdale Quay and the SeaBus and north to Highway 1 (Upper Levels Highway).
  • Transit anchors: TransLink route 249 (Delbrook / Lonsdale Quay) runs via Delbrook Avenue and West Queens Road through the area; route 230 runs via Lonsdale Avenue west of the area and route 241 runs via Lonsdale Avenue and the Lions Gate Bridge to downtown Vancouver; the SeaBus at Lonsdale Quay crosses to Waterfront Station in 12 minutes, every 15 minutes during the day. There is no transit-oriented condo node inside Braemar.

Good to know about Braemar condos

  • Braemar's plan is shared, not standalone. Braemar has no plan of its own: it is one of five neighbourhoods inside the North Lonsdale–Delbrook planning area under the North Lonsdale–Delbrook OCP, Bylaw 6750, beneath District OCP Bylaw 7900 — density decisions for its streets are made in that shared plan, which directs growth to the District's town and village centres instead.
  • The nearest new attached building is rental and care, by bylaw. The Delbrook Lands approvals (OCP Amendment Bylaw 8397, Rezoning Bylaw 8398, DCC Waiver Bylaw 8399, all 2019) fixed the 600 West Queens Road south portion as low-to-moderate-income rental housing plus a seniors' care facility — a buyer waiting for strata product on that site is waiting on the wrong tenure.
  • Three units per house lot is already the rule. Since June 2024 every single-family lot within the Urban Containment Boundary can hold a principal dwelling, a secondary suite and a coach house, and December 2023 changes let a secondary suite be up to 49% of the house with no minimum size and raised the maximum coach house height to two storeys — the "condo alternative" in Braemar is a suite inside a house purchase.
  • Princess Park is the east-side trailhead. Princess Park, at the 3500-block of Princess Avenue, offers tennis courts, playgrounds, a picnic shelter and forested walking trails that form part of the Lynn Valley Link — the amenity that substitutes for a condo building's gym and grounds on these detached streets.
  • Utility bills are a District line item, not a strata line. With no strata fees in the area, the carrying-cost comparison runs through District bills: 2026 single-family utilities total $2,571.20, including water at $932.80 and sewer/drainage at $1,255.60.

Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Braemar

  • The governing pair is the District's own: Official Community Plan Bylaw 7900 and Zoning Bylaw 3210, District of North Vancouver, with the North Lonsdale–Delbrook local plan, Bylaw 6750.
  • If a strata townhouse is ever found in Braemar, the BC standard block applies in full: Form B diligence (Strata Property Act s. 59 — fees, amounts owing, approved special levies, CRF balance, insurance summary, with rules, budget, any Rental Disclosure Statement and the most recent depreciation report attached; within 7 days, maximum $35 plus up to 25 cents per page).
  • Fee-simple reality in Braemar: the stock is fee-simple detached — no strata, no Form B, no strata fees — governed by municipal rules (Zoning Bylaw 3210) and any registered covenants on title only. The R2 zone allows a principal dwelling plus a secondary suite in the principal building and a coach house; December 2023 changes let a secondary suite be up to 49% of the house with no minimum size and raised the maximum coach house height to two storeys.

Good to know about Braemar townhomes

  • The school is the neighbourhood's search anchor. "École Braemar" is itself a common search term for the area, and the school at 3600 Mahon Avenue runs English, Early French Immersion and Late French Immersion in one building — a draw that detached-house listings trade on, while the catchment for any given house still has to be locator-checked.
  • The recreation centre and the hospital are both outside the pocket. The Delbrook Community Recreation Centre (851 West Queens Road) sits south of the area, and Lions Gate Hospital, 231 East 15th Street, North Vancouver (Vancouver Coastal Health), serves the whole North Shore, with the North Vancouver Urgent and Primary Care Centre at 2nd floor, 221 West Esplanade.
  • The District's 2021 Census population was 88,168, living in 32,700 of 34,179 total private dwellings, on a land area of 160.66 km² (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census Profile, Catalogue no. 98-316-X2021001) — District context for a purely residential pocket inside it.
  • Suite rules changed twice in six months and listings have not all caught up: December 2023 changes let a secondary suite be up to 49% of the house with no minimum size and raised the maximum coach house height to two storeys, and since June 2024 three units total are permitted on single-family lots within the Urban Containment Boundary.

Lots and land in Braemar

Fee-simple lots

  • R1/R2 lot fabric (Zoning Bylaw 3210, Section 525, as amended by Bylaw 8799): the R1 Rural and Suburban Detached Residential Zone has minimums of 4,000 m² / 30 m width / 34 m depth; the R2 Urban Detached Residential Zone has minimums of 660 m² / 18 m width / 34 m depth, with modifiers R2(S1) at 335 m² / 10 m, R2(S2) at 1,100 m² / 24 m and R2(S3) at 4,000 m² / 30 m. The applicable detached-zone minimums run the full 335–4,000 m² range — the zone on a single lot is confirmed through the District's GeoWeb. A fee-simple lot carries no strata, no Form B and no strata fees.
  • Secondary forms as lot value: R2 allows a principal dwelling plus a secondary suite in the principal building and a coach house; since June 2024 District zoning permits a principal dwelling, a secondary suite and a coach house — three units total — on all single-family zoned properties within the Urban Containment Boundary. December 2023 changes let a secondary suite be up to 49% of the house with no minimum size and raised the maximum coach house height to two storeys.
  • Serviced vs unserviced: District single-family utility fees are published for 2026 (water $932.80; sewer/drainage $1,255.60; combined single-family utilities $2,571.20) — the District-serviced position as the District states it.
  • The hazard frame that does apply is the District's Development Permit Areas, not an ALR frame.
  • Creek-shaped land: the Mosquito Creek and MacKay Creek ravines west of the area are protected through the North Lonsdale–Delbrook plan's development permit areas for the natural environment — lots near the ravines warrant a GeoWeb property-level check before buildable area is priced.

Development project

  • Delbrook Lands — 600 West Queens Road, south-west of the area (not a Braemar project): The District divided the former Delbrook school/centre lands into a new neighbourhood park on the northern portion and a four-storey building with low-to-moderate-income rental housing and a seniors' care facility on the southern portion, under OCP Amendment Bylaw 8397, Rezoning Bylaw 8398 and DCC Waiver Bylaw 8399 (2019). It is a District development project on the area's edge — rental housing and a park, not lots for sale — documented here only because its build-out changes the streetscape on Braemar's closest streets.

  • Schools — SD44, stated precisely: École Braemar Elementary, 3600 Mahon Avenue, North Vancouver, V7N 3T6, is physically inside the area and offers English, Early French Immersion and Late French Immersion programs (SD44). Carson Graham Secondary is at 2145 Jones Avenue, south of the area.

Delbrook Community Recreation Centre, 851 West Queens Road, south of the area, is the nearest full-service centre. Lions Gate Hospital, 231 East 15th Street, serves the North Shore.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Braemar

  • Zoning + OCP (District of North Vancouver only): District OCP Bylaw 7900; the local plan is the North Lonsdale–Delbrook Official Community Plan, Bylaw 6750; Zoning Bylaw 3210, Section 525 (R1/R2 table in Sections 1–2), as amended including by Bylaw 8799. City of North Vancouver bylaws (OCP 8400 / Zoning 6700) do not apply on District land.
  • SSMUH, as the District states it: the District's GEOweb SSMUH classification shows non-exempt lots potentially allowing up to 3 units at 280 m² or less, up to 4 units above 280 m², and up to 6 units above 280 m² within 400 m of a frequent-transit bus stop. Separately, since June 2024 a principal dwelling + secondary suite + coach house (three units) are permitted on all single-family zoned properties within the Urban Containment Boundary; the suite can be up to 49% of the house with no minimum size, and a coach house can be two storeys (December 2023 changes).
  • Hazard Development Permit Areas (OCP Schedule B): the District OCP establishes DPAs for Protection of the Natural Environment, Streamside Protection, Wildfire Hazard, Creek Hazard and Slope Hazard, and the District publishes property-level reports through GeoWeb. Lots near the Mosquito Creek and MacKay Creek ravines west of the area warrant a check before renovation or rebuild pricing.
  • Strata block: Form B diligence (fees, amounts owed, levies, CRF balance, insurance summary; within 7 days, max $35 + 25¢/page); depreciation reports on a 5-year cycle for stratas with 5+ lots since July 1, 2024; minimum 10% CRF contribution since November 1, 2023; rental-restriction bylaws void since November 24, 2022; only 55+ age bylaws valid under SPA ss.123.1/123.2, with May 1, 2023 exemptions. A listing's "45+" line is not a valid BC age bylaw. Strata disputes can go to the Civil Resolution Tribunal.
  • District of North Vancouver 2026 property taxes were due July 2, 2026, with a 5% penalty after July 2, 2026 and a further 5% after September 1, 2026; the 2026 residential municipal rate is 1.83419 and the total residential rate is 3.28195 per $1,000 of assessed value. Combined single-family utilities in 2026: $2,571.20.

Good to know about Braemar lots

  • The school is the neighbourhood's search anchor — and its catchment proof is one address deep. "École Braemar" is itself a common search term for the area, the school sits inside Braemar at 3600 Mahon Avenue with English + Early and Late French Immersion, and the only locator-verified chain is that address's own (→ Carson Graham Secondary). A listing that promises the catchment for any other street is ahead of the evidence.
  • Two municipalities share the "North Vancouver" name, and their bylaw numbers are a live trap: Braemar's rules are District OCP 7900 / Zoning 3210 (local plan Bylaw 6750); the City's OCP 8400 / Zoning 6700 — and the City's Subdivision and Development Control Bylaw 8014 that a web search surfaces first — belong to the City (Calverhall side), never to District ground like Braemar or Norgate.
  • The ravines west of the area are plan-protected, not just scenery: Mosquito Creek and MacKay Creek sit inside the North Lonsdale–Delbrook plan's natural-environment permit areas, and OCP Schedule B layers streamside, creek-hazard and slope-hazard DPAs over the same area — a west-edge lot's buildable area is a GeoWeb report, not a guess.
  • Braemar's "development story" is actually outside Braemar: the Delbrook Lands park + rental/seniors project at 600 West Queens Road is the build-out that will change the closest streets — and it is District rental housing and parkland, not a land release.
  • No market figure exists to quote for this neighbourhood: North Vancouver is outside SnapStats coverage entirely, so any Braemar median, ratio or trend figure attributed to SnapStats anywhere should be treated as an error.
