Westmount, on the west slope of Cypress Mountain (relative to the rest of West Vancouver), lies beyond Dundarave in an exclusive neighbourhood where home prices average $2 million -- second only to British Properties. View Westmount West Vancouver MLS® listings
Situated well off Marine Drive and sheltered by trees from the Upper Levels Highway, Westmount is a fashionable area with many new homes -- but also a lot of newly renovated older homes. Close to 80 per cent of Westmount homes were built before the 1980s, giving a retro appeal to many properties designed with a classic West Coast modernist sensibility.
Dundarave offers the closest shopping and community amenities, while Lighthouse Park and the slopes of Cypress Mountain offer a variety of recreational opportunities. Benbow and Altamont parks offer community green areas, with Benbow boasting tennis courts.
