Dundarave Homes for Sale

As of April 2026, Dundarave pricing is comparable to Ambleside across all housing types, with a small premium on detached for the quieter village feel. Condos typically run $750,000 to $1.5 million for 1- to 2-bedroom units in mid-rise buildings; concrete and view units exceed $2 million. Townhomes (a small inventory) typically run $1.3 to $2.5 million. Detached homes on streets stepping back from Marine Drive typically run $2.7 to $5 million; Marine Drive frontage and waterfront-adjacent addresses go higher. The West Vancouver average sale price across all property types was approximately $2.73 million in April 2026.

Both are walkable urban villages in the Ambleside & Dundarave area; the differences are scale and character. Ambleside (V7T) runs along Marine Drive roughly 13th to 17th with the larger commercial strip, Ambleside Beach, and broader dining and retail. Dundarave (V7V) runs slightly west around 24th to 25th with a smaller, more village-feel commercial concentration anchored by Dundarave Pier and The Beach House. The seawall promenade connects both. Pricing is comparable, with Dundarave detached carrying a slight premium for the quieter scale. Both fall within West Vancouver Secondary catchment.

The Lions Gate Bridge is the only direct route, and there is no SeaBus in West Vancouver. Off-peak, the drive from Dundarave through Stanley Park into downtown is 22 to 32 minutes (slightly longer than Ambleside given the west position). Peak windows (roughly 7 to 9 a.m. southbound and 4 to 6 p.m. northbound) can extend this to 50 to 80 minutes. The nearest SeaBus terminal is Lonsdale Quay in North Vancouver, 15 to 25 minutes east by car. TransLink's R2 RapidBus runs along Marine Drive connecting Park Royal to Phibbs Exchange. Buyers planning a daily commute should test the actual route at the actual travel time before committing.

Dundarave typically falls within West Vancouver Secondary (WVSS) catchment for grades 8 to 12, with elementary options including Hollyburn, Ecole Pauline Johnson (French Immersion), or Westcot depending on specific address. WVSS runs the IB Diploma Programme. School District 45 (SD45) serves the area, distinct from North Vancouver's SD44. Catchments are address-specific and follow geographic features rather than neighbourhood names; verify the current catchment for any specific address directly with SD45 before relying on it for an offer.

Dundarave's commercial strip along Marine Drive between roughly 24th and 25th holds a smaller-scale collection of independent retail, kitchen shops, specialty bakeries, cafes, and restaurants. The Beach House at Dundarave Pier is the signature waterfront restaurant. Caper's Bistro, La Regalade, Boathouse, and several long-running independent restaurants anchor the dining scene. The seawall promenade runs east to Ambleside Beach and the larger village core. For broader retail, Park Royal Shopping Centre is a 10-minute drive east. Quieter weeknights, busier weekend mornings and warm-weather Friday evenings.

Dundarave inventory mirrors Ambleside but on a smaller scale. Mid-rise condo apartments concentrated near the Marine Drive village core, with newer concrete buildings carrying premiums. A small townhome layer exists in select developments. Detached homes sit on streets stepping back from Marine Drive (north toward 22nd Street and beyond), typically on 6,000 to 9,000 sq ft lots, with character ranging from 1950s and 1960s originals to current custom rebuilds. The detached character feels slightly more residential than Ambleside given the smaller commercial footprint. Marine Drive frontage and waterfront-adjacent addresses carry significant premiums. Always review strata documents before any offer on multi-family inventory.
