British Properties
Market Snapshot
The British Properties is West Vancouver's most iconic luxury address—a master-planned estate neighbourhood developed by the Guinness family in the 1930s and '40s, covering the broad southern slopes above the Upper Levels Highway. Capilano Road serves as the main artery, winding past the British Properties Golf Club and into an expansive network of gated streets lined with grand estates on lots ranging from 15,000 sq ft to well over an acre.
Panoramic views of the Vancouver skyline, Burrard Inlet, and the Gulf Islands define the British Properties experience. Homes here are among the most architecturally significant in Metro Vancouver—Edwardian manor revivals sit alongside striking contemporary glass-and-concrete estates, with virtually every property commanding commanding city and ocean views. The British Properties Golf Club and Capilano Golf and Country Club add to the prestige of the address.
Entry into the British Properties starts around $4M for a more modest home, with marquee properties frequently transacting above $10M–$15M. The neighbourhood feeds into Chartwell Elementary and West Vancouver Secondary, and Collingwood School (private K–12) is accessed via the Upper Levels. For buyers seeking the apex of West Vancouver luxury, the British Properties remains unmatched.
