Drive time to Capilano
Living near a school does not mean a place at it. Your child's school comes from the district's catchment boundaries, and those change, so confirm the address with the district before you write an offer.

Jared's take on Capilano
A canyon and mountain corridor: that’s Capilano. Buyers accept a car-oriented street on Capilano Road in exchange for the river canyon, regional park trails and the Grouse Mountain road at the door.
Common questions
Is the Marine Drive condo stock near Capilano Mall part of this area?
No — that is Lower Capilano / Lions Gate, south of Highway 1, in the Pemberton and Norgate sub-areas.
Can I have a pet at Canyon Park?
The current listing source describes Canyon Park as a pet-friendly building. Confirm the exact bylaw wording on the Form B before relying on it — pet bylaws still bind, unlike rental bylaws.
Can a strata here ban me from renting my unit out?
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.
Can I buy a suite or coach house separately on the corridor?
No. Since June 2024 a District single-family lot within the Urban Containment Boundary can hold a principal dwelling, a secondary suite and a coach house — three units total — but they are one lot's ownership, not separate strata lots, unless a future rezoning and stratification occur.
Can I buy just one side of a duplex on the Capilano corridor?
Only if that side is legally separate — a strata lot in a 2-lot strata plan, or its own fee-simple lot from a subdivision. Check the title first.
Is Capilano Elementary our school?
Do not assume so — Capilano Elementary is at 1230 West 20th Street in the City of North Vancouver lowlands, south of this corridor, despite carrying the Capilano name. Corridor addresses sit beside the Canyon Heights, Highlands and Cleveland elementary areas instead.
What runs on Capilano Road for transit?
TransLink route 236 runs the length of Capilano Road toward Grouse Mountain and Lonsdale Quay, route 232 runs via Capilano Road at the corridor's east side, and route 246 crosses the corridor via Capilano Road and Montroyal Boulevard with downtown trips over the Lions Gate Bridge. The SeaBus at Lonsdale Quay crosses to Waterfront Station.
Can I swim or boat on Capilano Lake?
No — the Capilano Reservoir behind the Cleveland Dam is a drinking-water supply area, and Metro Vancouver states the reservoirs and water supply areas are closed to the public except for registered tours. Visitors can view the reservoir from the Cleveland Dam at the north end of Capilano River Regional Park. Recreation here is the park trails below the dam, not the lake.
What is the Capilano area in North Vancouver?
The Capilano Road corridor in the District of North Vancouver — the residential streets around Capilano Road between Highway 1 and the Cleveland Dam, taking in Capilano Suspension Bridge Park at 3735 Capilano Road and the Capilano River canyon.
Which schools serve a Capilano Road address?
Catchments are address-based in SD44. The plateau elementaries beside the corridor are Canyon Heights (4501 Highland Boulevard), Highlands (3150 Colwood Drive) and Cleveland (1255 Eldon Road), with Handsworth Secondary (1033 Handsworth Road) the Handsworth-family secondary school; Capilano Elementary (1230 West 20th Street) is in the lowlands — confirm the exact address with SD44.
What buses run on Capilano Road?
Route 236 runs the length of Capilano Road toward Grouse Mountain and Lonsdale Quay, route 232 runs via Capilano Road at the corridor's east side, and route 246 crosses via Capilano Road and Montroyal Boulevard with downtown trips over the Lions Gate Bridge.

Condo buildings in Capilano
Canyon Park — 2832 Capilano Road
Built 2012; 14 units. A current listing for a unit in the building describes Canyon Park as a 14-unit pet-friendly boutique building between the North Shore trails and Edgemont Village, and a second listing source describes a boutique 14-home community beside a landscaped greenbelt.
Streets, schools and transit near Capilano condos
- The District's Official Community Plan, Bylaw 7900, covers this area.
- Naming split a buyer will meet: District and school sources use "Upper Capilano" for the plateau north of Highway 1 (Canyon Heights, Capilano Highlands, Grousewoods) and "Lower Capilano / Lions Gate" for the Marine Drive end south of the highway.
- Condo stock on the corridor is scarce and scattered: the one apartment building here sits on Capilano Road itself in the corridor's mid-section, near the Edgemont Village side. The rest of the corridor is detached houses under the District's R1 and R2 zones.
- Main streets and transit: Capilano Road is the spine — south to Marine Drive and the Lions Gate Bridge, north to the Cleveland Dam and Grouse Mountain (6400 Nancy Greene Way, reached only by Capilano Road). TransLink route 236 runs on Capilano Road the length of the corridor toward Grouse Mountain and Lonsdale Quay; route 246 crosses the corridor via Capilano Road and Montroyal Boulevard with downtown trips over the Lions Gate Bridge.
- Nearby areas: Canyon Heights and Edgemont Village (east), Capilano Highlands and Grousewoods (north), Norgate and Pemberton Heights in the lowlands (south-east, below Highway 1), and — across the Capilano River — West Vancouver's Park Royal / Ambleside side. Edgemont is one of the District OCP's six Village Centres and is the corridor's walk-to/drive-to retail; no shopping centre or grocery store on the Capilano Road corridor itself is confirmed.
Local rules that affect condo buyers in Capilano
- District of North Vancouver tax timing: District 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. District single-family utility fees in 2026 include water at $932.80 and sewer/drainage at $1,255.60, with combined single-family utilities of $2,571.20.
Good to know about Capilano condos
- The dam above the corridor is a 1954 drinking-water dam. The Cleveland Dam at the head of Capilano River Regional Park was completed in 1954 and stands 91 m high, holding back Capilano Lake, the drinking-water reservoir above the corridor; Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Capilano River Hatchery below the dam was completed in 1971 and normally draws about 250,000 visitors a year.
- The school with the area's name is not in the area. Capilano Elementary, 1230 West 20th Street, carries the Capilano name but sits in the City of North Vancouver lowlands south of the corridor — marketing it as this area's school without an address-level catchment check would be wrong.
- The library with the area's name is in Edgemont Village. The Capilano Library, 3045 Highland Boulevard, is described by the North Vancouver District Public Library as "located in the heart of Edgemont Village," east of the corridor — the corridor's services cluster in the neighbouring village centre, not on Capilano Road.
- A detached lot here can already hold three homes' worth of occupants. Since June 2024, a principal dwelling plus a secondary suite plus a coach house — three units total — are permitted on single-family zoned properties within the Urban Containment Boundary, and the District's SSMUH classification can potentially allow up to 6 units on non-exempt lots over 280 m² within 400 m of a frequent-transit bus stop. That infill potential, not strata product, is the corridor's density story.
- The flood data is modelled to 2100. The District publishes property-level GeoWeb reports including modelled flood construction levels for a 2100 (2080s) horizon plus 0.6 m — a canyon-edge buyer's renovation budget should be priced against that horizon, not against today's water levels.

Townhome complexes in Capilano
Streets, schools and transit near Capilano townhomes
- Where the townhouse stock concentrates: nowhere verifiable on the corridor. The corridor is detached houses under the District's R1 and R2 zones (Zoning Bylaw 3210, Section 525); its one strata building is an apartment on Capilano Road itself, near the Edgemont Village side. Edgemont, immediately east, is one of the District OCP's six Village Centres and is the corridor's walk-to/drive-to retail; no shopping centre or grocery store on the Capilano Road corridor itself is confirmed.
Local rules that affect townhome buyers in Capilano
- Form B diligence (Canyon Park and any strata purchase compared nearby): Strata Property Act s. 59 — the Form B states the lot's monthly strata fees, amounts owing, approved special levies still payable, the CRF balance and an insurance summary, with the rules, current budget, any Rental Disclosure Statement and the most recent depreciation report attached; provided within 7 days, maximum $35 plus up to 25 cents per page. Listing-level rental/pet lines are listing data, not bylaws — the Form B and registered bylaws govern.
- District zoning and plan: the District of North Vancouver's Official Community Plan is Bylaw 7900 and its Zoning Bylaw is 3210 (the City of North Vancouver's OCP 8400 / Zoning 6700 pair does not apply on this corridor). Zoning Bylaw 3210, Section 525 (Bylaw 8799): the R1 zone minimum lot is 4,000 m² with 30 m width and 34 m depth, and the R2 zone minimum lot is 660 m² with 18 m width and 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; an R2 principal building may include a secondary suite, and a coach house is a dwelling unit accessory to and detached from the principal dwelling unit.
- Hazard permit areas: District OCP Bylaw 7900, Schedule B sets seven Development Permit Areas, including Protection of the Natural Environment, Streamside Protection, Wildfire Hazard, Creek Hazard and Slope Hazard — canyon-edge and ravine lots on this corridor are exactly the lots these areas were written for. The District publishes property-level GeoWeb reports, including modelled flood construction levels for a 2100 (2080s) horizon plus 0.6 m.
Good to know about Capilano townhomes
- The school and the library with the area's name are both somewhere else. Capilano Elementary (1230 West 20th Street) sits in the City lowlands south of the corridor, and the Capilano Library (3045 Highland Boulevard) is described by the North Vancouver District Public Library as "located in the heart of Edgemont Village," east of the corridor — the corridor's services cluster in the neighbouring village centre, not on Capilano Road. The nearest full-service recreation centre is the Delbrook Community Recreation Centre, 851 West Queens Road.
- The District is the big municipality, not the small one. The District of North Vancouver's 2021 Census population was 88,168, in 32,700 of 34,179 total private dwellings on 160.66 km² (Statistics Canada, 2021 Census Profile) — the corridor's rural-canyon feel sits inside a large urban district, which is why its permit areas, not a village plan, govern the lots.

Lots and land in Capilano
Fee-simple lots
- Established-street house lots: The canyon and plateau streets are historic subdivision fabric — built lots, not a lot offering.
- Lot character, as the bylaw states it: R1 minimum lot 4,000 m² with 30 m width and 34 m depth; R2 minimum lot 660 m² with 18 m width and 34 m depth; 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. Zone minimums only — not a claim about any existing lot's size; the zone on a single lot is confirmed through the District's GeoWeb.
- Serviced position, as the District states it: District single-family utility fees in 2026 include water at $932.80 and sewer/drainage at $1,255.60, with combined single-family utilities of $2,571.20 — the corridor's established lots sit inside that District system on the District's wording.
- No ALR percentage split is stated — check any specific parcel on Agricultural Land Commission mapping. The canyon and reservoir lands above the corridor are regional park and drinking-water reservoir (Capilano Lake behind the Cleveland Dam) — protected/watershed land, not buildable lot area.
- Flood/hazard position: the District publishes property-level GeoWeb reports, including modelled flood construction levels for a 2100 (2080s) horizon plus 0.6 m — a per-parcel check, not a corridor-wide designation asserted here.

Streets, schools and transit near Capilano lots
- Nearby areas
- Canyon Heights and Edgemont Village (east, across the Mosquito/Mackay creek ravines), Capilano Highlands and Grousewoods (north), Norgate and Pemberton Heights in the lowlands (south-east, below Highway 1), and — across the Capilano River — West Vancouver's Park Royal / Ambleside side.
- Roads and transit
- Capilano Road is the spine — south to Marine Drive and the Lions Gate Bridge, north to the Cleveland Dam and Grouse Mountain (6400 Nancy Greene Way; Capilano Road is the only road up to it) — and the Highway 1 interchange at Capilano Road is the corridor's highway access. Route 236 runs on Capilano Road the length of the corridor toward Grouse Mountain and Lonsdale Quay; route 232 runs via Capilano Road at the east side; route 246 crosses via Capilano Road and Montroyal Boulevard with downtown trips over the Lions Gate Bridge.
- Anchors
- Capilano River Regional Park (Metro Vancouver) runs along the river through and above the corridor (Capilano Pacific Trail, Coho Loop Trail); the Cleveland Dam (completed 1954, 91 m high) holds back Capilano Lake above the corridor; the Capilano River Hatchery (completed 1971) normally draws about 250,000 visitors a year. The Capilano Library, 3045 Highland Boulevard, sits in Edgemont Village east of the corridor; Delbrook Community Recreation Centre is at 851 West Queens Road. No shopping centre or grocery store on the corridor itself is confirmed. Nearest hospital: Lions Gate Hospital, 231 East 15th Street, North Vancouver.
Local rules that affect land buyers in Capilano
- Zoning — District of North Vancouver Zoning Bylaw 3210 only: Section 525 (Bylaw 8799) detached zones as stated in. The CITY of North Vancouver's Zoning Bylaw 6700 never applies to this District corridor.
- OCP — District of North Vancouver Official Community Plan, Bylaw 7900: covers this area, including its Development Permit Areas in Schedule B. The City's OCP Bylaw 8400 never applies here.
- Hazard Development Permit Areas (OCP Bylaw 7900, Schedule B): seven Development Permit Areas, including Protection of the Natural Environment, Streamside Protection, Wildfire Hazard, Creek Hazard and Slope Hazard — canyon-edge and ravine lots on this corridor are exactly the lots these areas were written for. Whether a lot is in one is a District GeoWeb map check.
- Reservoir context — diligence item: homes below the Cleveland Dam sit downstream of Capilano Lake, the drinking-water reservoir — confirm the parcel's hazard and insurance picture from the District GeoWeb reports rather than assuming from the street.
- District property taxes and utilities: 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.
Good to know about Capilano lots
- The dam above the corridor is a 1954 drinking-water work: the Cleveland Dam stands 91 m high and holds back Capilano Lake — upper-corridor lots sit downstream of a reservoir, which is why the District's per-parcel GeoWeb hazard reports, not street reputation, settle the insurance and permit picture.
- The hatchery is a working federal facility, not just a trail stop: Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Capilano River Hatchery (completed 1971) normally draws about 250,000 visitors a year for the coho and chinook runs — visitor traffic on the corridor is year-round, not only ski and bridge season.
- Three units have been legal on these lots since June 2024: principal + secondary suite + coach house on single-family lots within the Urban Containment Boundary — the corridor's real density story is infill on existing lots, not new subdivisions.

Duplexes and half duplexes in Capilano
Local rules that affect duplexes in Capilano
- SSMUH / three-unit position: Since June 2024 a principal house plus a secondary suite plus a coach house (three units total) has been permitted on single-family zoned lots within the Urban Containment Boundary; the District's GEOweb SSMUH position runs up to 3 units on lots of 280 m² or less, 4 units above that, and 6 units above 280 m² within 400 m of frequent transit. That framework adds unit potential; it does not by itself split a duplex into separately titled halves.

Capilano: streets and boundaries
- Capilano here is the Capilano Road corridor in the District of North Vancouver's west end, between the Upper Levels Highway (Highway 1) and the Cleveland Dam, around the Capilano River canyon.
- District and school sources split the name: Upper Capilano is the plateau north of Highway 1, while Lower Capilano / Lions Gate is the Marine Drive end south of the highway — this page is the corridor itself, not the southern village lands.
- Across the Capilano River is West Vancouver's Park Royal / Ambleside side; east are Canyon Heights and Edgemont Village across the creek ravines.
- Grouse Mountain's address is 6400 Nancy Greene Way at the top of Capilano Road, and Capilano Road is the only road up to it.
Capilano: the housing stock
- The corridor stock is detached houses under the District's R1 and R2 detached residential zones, on canyon-side streets off Capilano Road and plateau streets toward Montroyal Boulevard.
- Zone minimum lots run from R2(S1) at 335 m² with 10 m width to R1 and R2(S3) at 4,000 m² with 30 m width; standard R2 is 660 m², 18 m width, 34 m depth.
- A principal house plus a secondary suite plus a coach house — three units total — has been permitted on single-family zoned lots within the Urban Containment Boundary since June 2024.
Capilano: rules that affect buyers
- Capilano-specific rules start with the canyon: District Official Community Plan (OCP) Bylaw 7900, Schedule B sets Streamside Protection, Creek Hazard, Slope Hazard and Wildfire Hazard Development Permit Areas that canyon-edge and ravine lots here fall under.
- The Capilano watershed above the Cleveland Dam is closed to the public to protect drinking water, and the reservoirs and water supply areas are closed except for registered tours — upper-corridor lots sit below a protected reservoir, not a recreation lake.
- The District's small-scale multi-unit housing (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.
Capilano: local details a buyer would not know
- Fisheries and Oceans Canada's Capilano River Hatchery, in the regional park below the dam, was completed in 1971 and normally draws about 250,000 visitors a year for the coho and chinook runs.
- Capilano Suspension Bridge Park at 3735 Capilano Road is a private attraction on the corridor, separate from the free regional park and dam.
- All Grouse Mountain and suspension-bridge visitor traffic travels Capilano Road past corridor homes, because Capilano Road is the only road to Grouse Mountain.
- Capilano Library at 3045 Highland Boulevard is described by North Vancouver District Public Library as in the heart of Edgemont Village, east of the corridor.
- Delbrook Community Recreation Centre at 851 West Queens Road is the nearest North Vancouver Recreation Commission (NVRC) full-service centre, south-east of the corridor.
- Lions Gate Hospital at 231 East 15th Street and the North Vancouver Urgent and Primary Care Centre at 221 West Esplanade serve the area.
- Secondary French Immersion is offered at Handsworth Secondary in SD44.
Capilano: costs and taxes
- The figures that apply to corridor lots: the District's 2026 total residential rate is 3.28195 per $1,000 of assessed value (municipal portion 1.83419), with taxes due July 2, 2026.
- District single-family utility fees in 2026 include water at $932.80 and sewer / drainage at $1,255.60, with combined single-family utilities of $2,571.20.
Capilano: getting around
- Capilano Road is the spine — south to Marine Drive and the Lions Gate Bridge, north to the Cleveland Dam and Grouse Mountain — with the Highway 1 interchange at Capilano Road as the highway access.
- Route 236 runs Capilano Road between Grouse Mountain and Lonsdale Quay, and route 232 links Grouse Mountain and Phibbs Exchange via the corridor's east side.
- Route 246 (Downtown / Highland) runs via Marine Drive, Capilano Road, Ridgewood Drive, Edgemont Boulevard, Highland Boulevard and Montroyal Boulevard.
- The SeaBus at Lonsdale Quay crosses to Waterfront Station in 12 minutes, every 15 minutes during the day, per TransLink timetable material.
Capilano: risks and due diligence
- Run the District GeoWeb hazard layers before pricing any canyon-edge renovation or rebuild.
- OCP Schedule B sets seven Development Permit Areas, including Protection of the Natural Environment, Streamside Protection, Wildfire Hazard, Creek Hazard and Slope Hazard.
- The District publishes property-level GeoWeb reports including modelled flood construction levels for a 2100 (2080s) horizon plus 0.6 m.
- River levels below the Cleveland Dam can change with dam releases, so treat the regional park river edge as a hazard check, not just an amenity, for lower corridor lots.
- Confirm the exact zone through District GeoWeb, because corridor minimum lots range from 335 m² to 4,000 m² by sub-zone.
