Tempe Homes for Sale

As of April 2026, the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® detached benchmark for North Vancouver is $2.03 million. Tempe sits in the mid-tier east-side Lonsdale Corridor, with pricing reflecting central position between Central Lonsdale and Calverhall plus the Sutherland Secondary catchment. Most typical detached homes fall in a range of roughly $1.7 to $2.4 million depending on lot size, age, and renovation status. Larger-lot or newer custom builds near Central Lonsdale boundary can exceed $2.6 million. Tempe is predominantly detached with very limited multi-family inventory.

Tempe is the central east-side residential pocket of the Lonsdale Corridor, sitting between Central Lonsdale (west) and Calverhall (east) on mid-slope. It's roughly bounded by Keith Road to the south, 19th Street to the north, St Andrews or Eastern Avenue to the west (boundary with Central Lonsdale), and Sutherland Avenue area to the east (boundary with Calverhall). The V7L postal code covers most of Tempe. Some addresses may show variations like "Tempe Heights" in older listings. The neighbourhood is part of the City of North Vancouver.

All three share the Queensbury Elementary + Sutherland Secondary catchment and similar smaller-lot east-side character. The differences are geographic position and proximity: Hamilton sits south near Hwy 1 (fastest Second Narrows access, most active redevelopment); Calverhall sits east of Tempe (quieter east-side residential, slightly larger-lot pockets); Tempe sits centrally between Central Lonsdale and Calverhall (walking distance to Central Lonsdale commercial, slightly higher pricing premium given central position). Pricing tracks: Hamilton $1.6M-$2.2M, Calverhall $1.7M-$2.3M, Tempe $1.7M-$2.4M typical detached.

Tempe typically falls within School District 44 (SD44) Queensbury Elementary and Sutherland Secondary catchments. Queensbury serves the east-side Lonsdale Corridor including Hamilton, Calverhall, and parts of Tempe. Sutherland is the dominant Lonsdale Corridor secondary catchment serving Central, Upper, and most east-side sub-areas. Western Tempe addresses (closer to Central Lonsdale boundary) may fall to Ridgeway Elementary catchment. Catchments are assigned by address and can shift over time, so confirm the current catchment for any specific property directly with SD44.

Tempe commuters have three options. The SeaBus is a 7 to 10 minute drive south to Lonsdale Quay, then 12 minutes across to Waterfront Station; the central east-side position keeps SeaBus access strong. The Second Narrows Bridge via Hwy 1 typically runs 18 to 28 minutes off-peak. The Lions Gate Bridge via Marine Drive runs 25 to 35 minutes off-peak. Peak hours add 15 to 30 minutes either way. SeaBus often beats both bridges at peak. Number 229 bus serves Lonsdale Avenue for direct SeaBus terminal access; Number 230 bus serves the east-side area. See the North Shore commute guide.

Tempe is predominantly detached single-family on central east-side residential streets. Housing stock spans 1950s-70s post-war originals, 1980s-90s rebuilds, and newer custom infill on tear-down lots. Lot sizes typically run 4,500 to 6,500 square feet (CNV east-side norm). The central position between Central Lonsdale commercial and Calverhall residential gives Tempe a "walkable-residential" character that's harder to find in other east-side pockets. Multi-family inventory is essentially nonexistent in Tempe itself; condo and townhome seekers typically look at Central Lonsdale or Lower Lonsdale.
