Forest Hills is an elevated North Vancouver neighbourhood situated on the forested slopes between Canyon Heights and Grouse Woods, at one of the highest residential elevations in the municipality. The area is defined by its luxury custom homes, sweeping mountain and water views, deep Douglas fir canopy, and the profound quiet of a neighbourhood where through-traffic is minimal and nature is immediately present.
Homes in Forest Hills are predominantly architect-designed custom builds and executive residences taking full advantage of elevated sites with panoramic views across Burrard Inlet and the Vancouver skyline. The neighbourhood is one of North Vancouver's most desirable upper-mountain luxury addresses, prized by buyers who want the ultimate expression of North Shore mountain living in a refined residential setting.
Canyon Heights Elementary and Handsworth Secondary represent the school catchments, placing Forest Hills within the same elite educational geography as Edgemont Village and Capilano. The combination of luxury homes, panoramic views, mountain access, and top school catchments makes Forest Hills one of the most complete luxury residential packages on the North Shore.
