Marine Drive
Market Snapshot

Marine Drive is the defining artery of West Vancouver—the coast-hugging road that runs the full length of the municipality from Park Royal in the east to Horseshoe Bay in the west, threading together every major neighbourhood and commercial node along the way. The 'Marine Drive' neighbourhood designation encompasses the residential and mixed-use properties clustered along and immediately adjacent to this corridor, from Ambleside through Dundarave to Caulfeild and beyond.

Properties along Marine Drive capture the diversity that makes West Vancouver's real estate market unique: boutique apartment buildings with water views, character bungalows on 33-foot lots a short walk from the seawall, newer strata townhomes above village commercial units, and the occasional grand mansion on a half-acre lot facing the Strait of Georgia. The seawall path and adjacent parks connect the entire waterfront from Ambleside Beach to Dundarave Pier and westward toward Lighthouse Park.

Prices vary enormously along the corridor, from approximately $1.2M for an entry-level condo to $8M+ for a waterfront home on a premium lot. Transit along Marine Drive is the best in West Vancouver, with frequent Blue Bus service connecting to Park Royal, Lonsdale Quay, and downtown Vancouver. For buyers prioritizing walkability, transit, and a village lifestyle, Marine Drive properties are consistently in demand.
