Section 1: Our existing housing stock

In terms of housing diversity, West Vancouver is mostly comprised of often large detached single-family homes (63%) and typically older apartment buildings (31%), with few options in-between. In terms of affordability, housing values have risen and are more expensive compared to the region.

To begin, we want to understand your overall priorities for new housing.
