Tempe is a North Vancouver neighbourhood in the eastern part of the municipality, situated near the Second Narrows Bridge and the Trans-Canada Highway interchange — one of the most strategically connected locations in the City of North Vancouver for commuters who travel across the Lower Mainland. The neighbourhood's name derives from early settlement patterns in North Vancouver's eastern quadrant.
The area offers practical residential value for buyers who prioritize highway access and commute efficiency. Proximity to the Second Narrows Bridge provides quick access to East Vancouver and Burnaby, while the Trans-Canada interchange connects northward toward the Tri-Cities, Squamish, and Whistler. This makes Tempe one of the most effectively positioned neighbourhoods in North Vancouver for regional commuters.
Housing stock is a mix of older post-war and mid-century detached homes, many with generous lots and established gardens. The neighbourhood is served by local elementary schools and falls within the Argyle Secondary catchment, making it a practical family address at accessible North Vancouver prices.
