What daily life in Upper Lonsdale looks like

Homes

Mostly detached houses: 62 of the 90 sales in the last year, with a median build year of 1970. Townhomes and condos make up the rest. One landmark is Chesterfield House, a heritage Tudor-style school from about 1912 that became apartments in 2010.

Parks and trails

Carisbrooke Park sits at the centre, Saint Albans Park to the north, and Tempe Heights Park has a playground, a basketball half court and two tennis courts, one lined for pickleball. Trailheads at the top lead onto Mount Fromme and the Baden-Powell Trail.

Shops and everyday errands

A couple of blocks of shops and services run along Lonsdale from 29th Street up to Kings Road. District Hall is on Queens Road, and the new Delbrook Community Recreation Centre is next door in Delbrook.

Getting around

There's no SkyTrain. The 230 bus runs up Lonsdale and down Rockland to Lonsdale Quay for the SeaBus. The Upper Levels Highway runs along the south edge, so highway access is quick.

Schools

Which schools serve Upper Lonsdale?

Schools and programs

Most Upper Lonsdale homes are in the Carson Graham Secondary family. Of the 79 homes sold here in the last year, 29 were in the Larson Elementary catchment, 24 in Carisbrooke and 17 in Braemar, all of which feed Carson Graham.

The other 9 were in the Boundary Elementary catchment, which feeds Argyle Secondary, so check which side of the line a street falls on.

These catchments come from the District of North Vancouver's school catchment map, matched to the homes sold here in the last 12 months. Catchment lines can split a street, so confirm any address with the SD44 school locator.
