Delbrook Homes for Sale, North Vancouver

Condo buildings in Delbrook

Queensbrook — 678 West Queens Road (District) — 55+

Built 1997; 22 units; Freehold Strata title; a 3-level building according to the strata directory. Current listings describe a 55+ community and a "well-cared-for boutique 22-unit building" backing onto Belhouse Park, a short walk to the Delbrook Community Recreation Centre, Mosquito Creek Trail and Westview shopping, with a club house, workshop, exercise centre, bike room and common courtyard; one listing states the pets position as "Cats OK" and the building description calls it pet friendly. The building directory states the strata bylaws include age restrictions, pets allowed and rentals allowed. The 55+ position is stated here as published — it is the one age-bylaw form BC law allows — and the filed bylaw wording should still be confirmed on the Form B. The directory also lists the amenities as Elevator, In Suite Laundry and Recreation Center.

Delbrook Plaza (residential component) — 3711 / 3721 Delbrook Avenue (District)

The name and form are confirmed on an official District source: a District council report describes "the existing Delbrook Plaza, a mixed-use commercial/residential development, zoned CD38" immediately west and north of 3707 Delbrook Avenue. Listings for residential units at 3711 and 3721 Delbrook Avenue state Apartment/Condo sub-type, built 1988, wood-frame construction, and describe a two-level townhome-style apartment with only one shared wall that is pet-friendly, with 2 side-by-side parking stalls and a storage locker.

Streets, schools and transit near Delbrook condos

• Delbrook is a confirmed District of North Vancouver neighbourhood name: one of the five distinct residential neighbourhoods (Delbrook, Norwood/Queens, Upper Delbrook, Carisbrooke and Braemar) inside the District's North Lonsdale–Delbrook planning area, around Delbrook Avenue and West Queens Road. District-wide land use is guided by the Official Community Plan, Bylaw 7900.
• Where the condo stock actually concentrates: two small pockets only. Queensbrook sits on West Queens Road at the area's south-west edge near Westview, and Delbrook Plaza sits on Delbrook Avenue itself at the Evergreen Place end.
• Nearby areas: Edgemont Village (west, across Mosquito Creek), Upper Delbrook and Braemar (north and east), Upper Lonsdale / Queensdale (east, along Lonsdale Avenue — Queensdale, on Lonsdale Avenue at Queens Road, is one of the District OCP's six Village Centres), and Norgate / Pemberton Heights (south, below West Queens Road toward Marine Drive).
• Main streets and transit: West Queens Road is an east–west major arterial, and Delbrook Avenue is a two-lane minor arterial that transitions into Westview Drive south of West Queens Road and connects the surrounding residential areas to the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1). TransLink route 249 (Delbrook / Lonsdale Quay) runs via Westview Drive, Delbrook Avenue and Montroyal Boulevard to Lonsdale Quay, continuing as a 246 downtown trip; route 246 runs on Delbrook Avenue and route 232 runs on West Queens Road — direct buses toward downtown Vancouver, the SeaBus (12 minutes to Waterfront Station) and Phibbs Exchange respectively.
• Anchors inside and beside the area: the Delbrook Community Recreation Centre, 851 West Queens Road (main pool, leisure pool and indoor racquet facilities), Delbrook Park on West Queens Road, and Westview Shopping Centre south of West Queens Road; the elementary schools beside the area are École Braemar Elementary, 3600 Mahon Avenue, and Carisbrooke Elementary, 510 Carisbrooke Road East, with Carson Graham Secondary, 2145 Jones Avenue, the secondary school south of the neighbourhood in the City.

Local rules that affect condo buyers in Delbrook

• Hazard permits: District OCP Bylaw 7900, Schedule B sets Development Permit Areas including Protection of the Natural Environment, Streamside Protection, Wildfire Hazard, Creek Hazard and Slope Hazard — Mission Creek borders the Delbrook Lands on the west and Mosquito Creek lies farther west, so creek-side Delbrook lots are exactly the lots these areas were written for. The District's landslide hazard work rests on its Landslide Risk Assessment, commissioned after the January 19, 2005 Berkley landslide in the District's east end; slope lots on Delbrook's upper streets should be checked against the District's hazard reporting rather than assumed clear.

Good to know about Delbrook condos

• The neighbourhood's recreation centre moved, and its old site is the development story. The current Delbrook Community Recreation Centre is at 851 West Queens Road; the former centre site at 600 West Queens Road (the Delbrook Lands, about 17,600 m²) is being redeveloped under Bylaws 8397–8399 into a neighbourhood park (northern portion) plus the four-storey rental and seniors-care building (southern portion) — a District-built project on District land, directed by Council on July 22, 2019.
• The old Delbrook plan is repealed — do not rely on it. The former North Lonsdale–Delbrook Official Community Plan (Bylaw 6750, adopted 1995) named Delbrook as one of five neighbourhoods, but that plan is repealed and District OCP Bylaw 7900 now covers the area; a seller or agent quoting the 1995 plan's designations is quoting a dead bylaw.
• Queensbrook's park is its front yard. Listings describe the 22-unit building as backing onto Belhouse Park and its tennis courts, a short walk to the recreation centre and the Mosquito Creek Trail — the amenity package for the area's only 55+ building is the park-and-trail network, not in-building facilities beyond its club house, workshop, exercise centre and courtyard.

Lots and land in Delbrook

Fee-simple lots

• Established bench lots: detached houses on R1 and R2 lots along Delbrook Avenue and its side streets — the R2 zone's stated intent is ground-oriented detached housing in the form of a house which may include a suite and be accompanied by a coach house. The bench street pattern is historic subdivision fabric — built lots, not a lot offering.
• Lot character, as the District states it (Zoning Bylaw 3210, Section 525, Bylaw 8799): the R1 zone minimum lot is 4,000 m² with 30 m width and 34 m depth; the standard R2 zone minimum lot is 660 m² with 18 m width and 34 m depth; modifiers run R2(S1) at 335 m² / 10 m width, R2(S2) at 1,100 m² / 24 m and R2(S3) at 4,000 m² / 30 m. The zone on a single lot is confirmed through the District's GeoWeb. These are zone minimums, not a claim about any existing lot's size.
• Serviced position: Delbrook's established streets sit inside the District's serviced urban system — District single-family utility fees in 2026 total $2,571.20, including water at $932.80 and sewer/drainage at $1,255.60. Parcel-level servicing detail, and any septic or well position for a specific lot: confirm the specific parcel with the District.
• No ALR percentage split is stated — check any specific parcel on Agricultural Land Commission mapping.

Bare-land strata

• No bare-land strata plan or bare-land strata community in Delbrook was verified

District development lands

• The District report states the site is being redeveloped under District Bylaws 8397, 8398 and 8399: 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, at the corner of West Queens Road and Stanley Avenue, with Mission Creek to the west of the site. This is a District-built rental, care and park project on District land — no lots are offered, no lot count or sale terms exist in the material read, and nothing here is carried as for-sale inventory.

Streets, schools and transit near Delbrook lots

• Roads and transit: West Queens Road is an east–west major arterial, and Delbrook Avenue is a two-lane minor arterial that transitions into Westview Drive south of West Queens Road and connects the surrounding residential areas to the Trans-Canada Highway (Highway 1), per the District study. TransLink route 249 (Delbrook / Lonsdale Quay) runs via Westview Drive, Delbrook Avenue and Montroyal Boulevard between the area and Lonsdale Quay, continuing as a 246 downtown trip; route 246 runs on Delbrook Avenue and route 232 runs on West Queens Road past the Delbrook Lands, per the District study. The SeaBus at Lonsdale Quay crosses to Waterfront Station in 12 minutes, every 15 minutes during the day.
• Civic anchors: the Delbrook Community Recreation Centre, 851 West Queens Road, is inside the area — NVRC confirms a main pool and leisure pool there and lists Delbrook among its indoor racquet facilities; Delbrook Park on West Queens Road is listed by the District study among the amenities near the Delbrook Lands; Westview Shopping Centre is named in the District study as a local amenity south of West Queens Road, and the District's OCP designates Queensdale, on Lonsdale Avenue at Queens Road east of Delbrook, as one of its six Village Centres. Nearest hospital: Lions Gate Hospital, 231 East 15th Street, North Vancouver.

Local rules that affect land buyers in Delbrook

• OCP / Zoning — DISTRICT rulebook only: District of North Vancouver Official Community Plan, Bylaw 7900, and Zoning Bylaw 3210. The former North Lonsdale–Delbrook Official Community Plan (Bylaw 6750, adopted 1995), which named Delbrook as one of its five neighbourhoods, is repealed — Bylaw 7900 now covers the area.
• Added units / SSMUH as the District states it: an R2 lot may hold one principal dwelling, one secondary suite and one coach house, and since June 2024 three units total are permitted on single-family zoned properties within the Urban Containment Boundary. 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 — parcel-specific; run the lot in GeoWeb before pricing potential.
• Hazards — Schedule B permit areas: District OCP Bylaw 7900, Schedule B sets Development Permit Areas including Protection of the Natural Environment, Streamside Protection, Wildfire Hazard, Creek Hazard and Slope Hazard — Mission Creek borders the Delbrook Lands on the west and Mosquito Creek lies farther west, so creek-side Delbrook lots are exactly the lots these areas were written for.
• Hazards — landslide diligence: the District's landslide hazard work rests on its Landslide Risk Assessment, commissioned after the January 19, 2005 Berkley landslide in the District's east end; slope lots anywhere in the District, including Delbrook's upper streets, should be checked against the District's hazard reporting rather than assumed clear.
• If a parcel is in the ALR: subdivision within the ALR requires ALC approval; ALR residences cannot be stratified. On ALR land the main house can be up to 500 m², a suite is allowed only inside it, and an extra residence can be up to 90 m² (186 m² on parcels over 40 ha). For farm class, BC Assessment looks for farm income of $10,000 a year on under 0.8 ha, $2,500 on 0.8 to 4 ha, and $2,500 plus 5% of the value of land over 4 ha; applications are due by October 31.

Good to know about Delbrook lots

• The board name covers two District neighbourhoods: District planning splits this bench into Delbrook and Upper Delbrook (two of the five neighbourhoods in the North Lonsdale–Delbrook planning area), while the board-style search name "Delbrook" covers both — a search, and a price comparison, run under the one name silently mixes the lower bench with the upper streets.
• The old Delbrook plan is repealed law: the North Lonsdale–Delbrook Official Community Plan (Bylaw 6750, adopted 1995) that first named these five neighbourhoods no longer governs — District OCP Bylaw 7900 does.
• The recreation centre moved, and its old site is the density story: the current Delbrook Community Recreation Centre at 851 West Queens Road is inside the area, while its former site at 600 West Queens Road becomes a park plus a four-storey rental and seniors' care building — the streetscape on Stanley Avenue and West Windsor Road changes with it, which is worth raising in pricing conversations on those streets.
• Delbrook's transit is stronger than most District benches: routes 249, 246 and 232 give the area direct service to Lonsdale Quay / SeaBus, downtown Vancouver and Phibbs Exchange respectively on the area's own streets — worth naming route by route, because the SSMUH classification's 400 m frequent-transit test turns on exactly that geography.
