55+ strata buildings you can buy in Edgemont Village

Edgemont Villa — 3151 Connaught Crescent (Edgemont Village)

The one age-restricted strata ownership building in Edgemont. Multiple MLS listings describe it in the same terms: a "boutique 55+ residence" / "55+ building" in the heart of Edgemont Village, freehold strata, built 2003, with underground parking (1 stall per listing), elevator and storage. A listing feature sheet states the building has only 20 condos. Listings record the title as Freehold Strata and amenities including electricity, trash, maintenance grounds, hot water and water. Age restriction: 55+ — listing-stated; the exact bylaw wording should be confirmed in the strata documents (Form B / bylaws) before relying on it. Rental restrictions: no strata may ban long-term rentals province-wide since Nov 24, 2022.

Rental, care and subsidized seniors housing in Edgemont Village (not for sale)

  • Amica Edgemont Village — 3225 Highland Boulevard: A rental senior-living residence in Edgemont Village, registered with BC's Assisted Living Registry as Amica Edgemont Village, operator Edgemont Senior Living Inc., class SN (seniors). Amica describes private independent-living, assisted-living, memory-care and licensed residential-care suites, with a concierge, home theatre, greenhouse, library with fireplace, arts-and-crafts kitchen, fitness centre, hair salon and spa, and scheduled social activities. Rental/care only — nothing to buy.

Streets, schools and getting around Edgemont Village

  • Edgemont Village is a neighbourhood in the District of North Vancouver and one of the District's six Village Centres in its Upper Capilano area; its core is the Edgemont Boulevard shopping strip at Highland Boulevard, where the Capilano Library (3045 Highland Boulevard) sits — described by the library as "located in the heart of Edgemont Village".
  • Edgemont is one of six village centres named in the District's OCP, with Lions Gate, Queensdale, Maplewood, Parkgate and Deep Cove.
  • Transit through the village: TransLink Route 232 (Grouse Mountain/Phibbs Exchange) runs via Highland Boulevard, Edgemont Boulevard and Capilano Road, and Route 246 (Downtown/Highland) runs via Capilano Road, Ridgewood Drive, Edgemont Boulevard and Highland Boulevard, with downtown-bound trips crossing the Lions Gate Bridge.
  • Where 55+ housing actually concentrates: in the village core itself, on two streets a short walk apart — Connaught Crescent (Edgemont Villa, the 55+ strata) and Highland Boulevard (Amica Edgemont Village, the retirement/care residence at 3225 Highland Blvd). Both sit within the walkable Edgemont Boulevard strip, beside the library, grocery and cafés.

Local rules and plans in Edgemont Village

  • OCP: Official Community Plan Bylaw 7900: — District growth is directed to its town and village centres under the OCP (Bylaw 7900), with Edgemont designated as one of the six village centres, while surrounding established streets remain low-density.
  • Hazard permit areas matter on Edgemont's ravine lots: Schedule B of the District OCP establishes Development Permit Areas for Protection of the Natural Environment, Streamside Protection, Wildfire Hazard, Creek Hazard and Slope Hazard; Mackay Creek and Mosquito Creek run through the neighbourhood's ravines.

BC’s 55+ rules (age bylaws, who may live in a unit, exemptions and rentals) apply in every strata and are on the BC 55+ strata rules page.

Good to know about Edgemont Village

  • Edgemont's 55+ supply is tiny and old-listing-driven. The entire verified ownership supply is one 20-unit building from 2003 (Edgemont Villa); the village's newer attached supply — Grosvenor's Connaught, 82 condos and townhomes completed in 2019 — is general-market, not age-restricted. A "55+ Edgemont" search will mostly surface resales in that one small building, when any are listed at all.
  • The care ladder is in the same few blocks. A buyer can move from an owned suite at Edgemont Villa (Connaught Crescent) to rental independent/assisted/memory and licensed residential care at Amica Edgemont Village (3225 Highland Boulevard) without leaving the village — Amica is registered with the provincial Assisted Living Registry, operator Edgemont Senior Living Inc.
  • The village grocery site was rebuilt around the seniors buildings. The Grosvenor Edgemont project redeveloped the village's main grocery site at the Edgemont/Ridgewood gateway with an expanded grocery store, ground-floor shops and 83 apartments and townhomes (NVRC document; Grosvenor states 82 homes for Connaught) — the retail Edgemont Villa and Amica residents walk to is this renewed core.
  • The elementary catchment split runs through the neighbourhood. The Highland Boulevard side samples to Canyon Heights Elementary and the Colwood Drive side to Highlands Elementary in the SD44 locator, both feeding Handsworth Secondary — a street-by-street fact that affects resale to families even for a 55+ buyer thinking about exit value.
  • Creek ravines are a permit fact, not just scenery. Mosquito Creek and Mackay Creek run through Edgemont's ravines; District planning material describes Mosquito Creek as a "creekside natural area with well used trails" and MacKay Creek as a "creekside natural area with fish habitat", and the OCP's hazard Development Permit Areas apply to creek and slope lots.

Edgemont Village 55+ homes: your questions answered

What 55+ homes can I actually buy in Edgemont?

On current evidence, one building: Edgemont Villa, 3151 Connaught Crescent — a 20-unit (listing-stated), freehold strata built in 2003, described across multiple listings as a boutique 55+ residence in the heart of the village. Confirm the exact age bylaw in the strata documents before an offer.

Is Amica Edgemont Village something I buy into?

No. It is a rental senior-living residence at 3225 Highland Boulevard offering independent living, assisted living, memory care and licensed residential care, and it is registered with BC's Assisted Living Registry (operator Edgemont Senior Living Inc.).

Are pets allowed at Edgemont Villa?

Read the building's bylaws on the Form B / strata documents for the specific unit; do not rely on a listing summary.

What about parking and storage at Edgemont Villa?

Listings state underground parking (1 stall) and storage, with elevator access, in a low-rise village building — confirm the specific unit's stall and locker assignment on the Form B.

Which schools serve Edgemont — relevant for resale and visiting family?

Highlands Elementary (3150 Colwood Drive) and Canyon Heights Elementary (4501 Highland Boulevard), both K–7, split by address, feed Handsworth Secondary (Grades 8–12, 1033 Handsworth Road). SD44 locator samples confirm Canyon Heights/Handsworth for 4501 Highland Boulevard and Highlands/Handsworth for 3150 Colwood Drive; confirm any other address with SD44.

Can I add a suite for a caregiver to an Edgemont house instead of buying in a 55+ building?

In many cases yes as a housing form: since June 2024 the District permits a principal dwelling plus a secondary suite plus a coach house (three units total) on single-family zoned lots within the Urban Containment Boundary, subject to the lot's zone and any creek/slope development permit areas.

What 55+ home can I actually buy in Edgemont Village?

Because the supply is one small building, resales are occasional rather than continuous, and the exact age-bylaw wording for a unit is confirmed from the strata documents and Form B for that unit, not from a listing summary.

Is Amica Edgemont Village a purchase?

No. Amica Edgemont Village at 3225 Highland Boulevard is a rental residence registered with the provincial Assisted Living Registry, with independent living, assisted living, memory care and licensed residential care in one building. A buyer who wants ownership in the village is looking at Edgemont Villa; a resident who wants care on site is looking at a tenancy and care agreement at Amica, not a strata lot.

Can I add a suite for a caregiver instead of buying the strata?

In many cases, yes, as a housing form. Since June 2024 the District permits a principal dwelling plus a secondary suite plus a coach house on single-family zoned lots inside the Urban Containment Boundary, subject to the lot's zone and to any creek or slope development permit area. That three-unit permission is District-wide, so the specific lot's permit areas are the deciding check.

Where is the hospital for Edgemont?

Lions Gate Hospital at 231 East 15th Street, North Vancouver, is the North Shore hospital under Vancouver Coastal Health, in the City of North Vancouver east of the village.

Edgemont 55+ Homes: streets and boundaries

  • Edgemont Village is in the District of North Vancouver, not the City of North Vancouver: it is one of the District's six village centres in its Official Community Plan (OCP), centred on Edgemont Boulevard at Highland Boulevard in the Upper Capilano area.
  • The Capilano Library at 3045 Highland Boulevard sits in the heart of Edgemont Village, and the village core is the Edgemont Boulevard strip around that library, the grocery and the cafés.

Edgemont 55+ Homes: the housing stock

  • Amica Edgemont Village at 3225 Highland Boulevard is the village's rental senior-living residence, registered with British Columbia's Assisted Living Registry with operator Edgemont Senior Living Inc., offering independent living, assisted living, memory care and licensed residential care — rental and care only, nothing to buy.
  • Connaught, the Grosvenor project at the Edgemont Boulevard and Ridgewood Drive gateway, is 82 concrete condominiums and townhomes with ground-floor retail anchored by Thrifty Foods, construction commenced 2016 and completed 2019 — general-market stock, with no age restriction stated by the developer.

Edgemont 55+ Homes: rules that affect buyers

  • Only a 55+ age bylaw is legal in a British Columbia strata now: Strata Property Act sections 123.1 and 123.2 permit a restriction to age 55 or older, and any bylaw set below 55 has been invalid since November 24, 2022.
  • The bylaw governs who may live in the unit, not who may own it, and Strata Property Regulation 7.01 exempts legacy residents, live-in caregivers, a younger spouse or partner, and children in the defined care cases.
  • District zoning is Zoning Bylaw 3210, and since June 2024 the District permits a principal dwelling, a secondary suite and a coach house — three units total — on single-family zoned properties inside the Urban Containment Boundary, which is the route to a caregiver suite on an Edgemont house lot.
  • Schedule B of the District OCP establishes Development Permit Areas for streamside protection, wildfire hazard, creek hazard and slope hazard, and Mackay Creek and Mosquito Creek run through the neighbourhood's ravines — a permit layer on ravine-edge lots, not on the village-core strata.

Edgemont 55+ Homes: local details a buyer would not know

  • The village grocery site was rebuilt as the Connaught project: the retail that Edgemont Villa and Amica residents walk to is the renewed Edgemont Boulevard and Ridgewood Drive core with Thrifty Foods at ground level, completed in 2019.
  • The elementary catchment split runs through the neighbourhood — the Highland Boulevard side and the Colwood Drive side sample to different elementary schools in the School District 44 (North Vancouver) locator, both feeding Handsworth Secondary — a street-by-street fact that affects resale to families.
  • A live-in caregiver is exempt from a 55+ age bylaw by provincial regulation, which is the legal basis for ageing in place with care inside an Edgemont Villa unit rather than moving to the Amica building.

Edgemont 55+ Homes: costs and taxes

  • The District of North Vancouver's total 2026 residential tax rate is 3.28195 per $1,000 of assessed value, made up in the District's rate sheet of a $1.83419 municipal rate plus school, TransLink, Metro Vancouver, British Columbia Assessment and other levies.
  • The District's 2026 utility sheet sets single-family water at $932.80 and a combined single-family utility total of $2,571.20; strata units carry their own utility arrangements, confirmed on the Form B.
  • The Speculation and Vacancy Tax (SVT) applies in the District of North Vancouver as a Metro Vancouver taxable area on the Province's list, so an owner here places the annual declaration.

Edgemont 55+ Homes: getting around

  • TransLink route 232 (Grouse Mountain / Phibbs Exchange) runs through the village via Highland Boulevard, Edgemont Boulevard and Capilano Road, on TransLink's published timetable.
  • TransLink route 246 (Downtown / Highland) runs via Capilano Road, Ridgewood Drive, Edgemont Boulevard and Highland Boulevard, and its downtown trips cross the Lions Gate Bridge.
  • There is no SkyTrain or SeaBus station in Edgemont; the bus routes above are the transit service for both named 55+ addresses.

Edgemont 55+ Homes: risks and due diligence

  • Check a house lot against the District OCP Schedule B development permit areas before assuming a suite, coach house or rebuild is permitted: streamside, wildfire, creek hazard and slope hazard areas apply around Mackay Creek and Mosquito Creek.
