The Neighborhood:

313 Rivers Road sits on the Capilano Indigenous Reserve — a quiet, forested pocket of West Vancouver steps from the Capilano River. Most people drive through this area on their way to Grouse Mountain without realising people actually live here. It's a genuine escape from the city, surrounded by trees and greenery, with a stillness that's rare this close to Vancouver.



The location punches well above its seclusion: the Capilano River Regional Park is right on your doorstep for walks and nature trails. Capilano Suspension Bridge and Park is minutes away. Grouse Mountain's gondola base is a short drive. Cypress Provincial Park is 15 minutes up the hill. In winter this is a prime ski base. In summer it's a hiker and mountain biker's dream.



For day-to-day needs, Park Royal Shopping Centre — one of BC's largest open-air malls — is just a 10-minute drive with full grocery stores, restaurants, a Cactus Club, Earls, and everything you'd need for your stay. Edgemont Village in North Van is also nearby for a more local neighbourhood feel.



Getting Around:

A car or rideshare is strongly recommended for this property. It is not within walking distance of shops, restaurants, or transit hubs — but everything you came to the North Shore for is a short drive away.



Driving:

• Capilano Suspension Bridge — ~5 min

• Grouse Mountain gondola base — ~10 min

• Park Royal Shopping Centre — ~10 min

• Cypress Provincial Park — ~15 min

• Downtown Vancouver via Lions Gate Bridge — ~20 min

• Vancouver International Airport (YVR) — ~35 min



Transit: West Vancouver Blue Bus routes run along Marine Drive and Taylor Way — a short drive or walk to the nearest stop. From there you can connect to downtown Vancouver via the 250/257 express routes to Park Royal or Phibbs Exchange.



Rideshare: Uber and Lyft are available in West Vancouver, though wait times can be longer than in the city. Driving is the most practical option for this location.
