Upper Lonsdale Homes for Sale

As of April 2026, the Greater Vancouver REALTORS® detached benchmark for North Vancouver is $2.03 million. Upper Lonsdale sits in the mid-tier of the NV detached market, with pricing reflecting top-of-slope position and Sutherland Secondary catchment. Most typical detached homes fall in a range of roughly $1.8 to $2.6 million depending on lot size, view orientation, and renovation status. Renovated or larger view lots can exceed $3 million. Some condo and townhome stock along Lonsdale Avenue itself ($600K to $1.4M typical) but the sub-area is predominantly detached on residential side streets.

Upper Lonsdale sits at the north end of the Lonsdale Corridor, north of Central Lonsdale at higher elevation. It's centred on Lonsdale Avenue from roughly 19th Street north to the boundary with the District of North Vancouver around 29th Street. The V7N postal code covers most of Upper Lonsdale with some V7K boundary. The area is part of the City of North Vancouver (CNV), distinguishing it from the District-side Lynn Valley and Edgemont neighbourhoods to the north and west.

Upper Lonsdale typically falls within School District 44 (SD44) Ridgeway Elementary and Sutherland Secondary catchments. Ridgeway is a well-regarded SD44 elementary; Sutherland is the dominant Lonsdale Corridor secondary catchment, serving most of the central and upper Corridor. The catchment is distinct from Carson Graham (which serves Lower Lonsdale and the Edgemont area) and Argyle (which serves Lynn Valley and the eastern Edgemont area). Catchments are assigned by address and can shift over time, so confirm the current catchment for any specific property directly with SD44.

Upper Lonsdale commuters have three options. The SeaBus from Lonsdale Quay is a 12 to 15 minute drive south, then 12 minutes across to Waterfront Station for direct downtown connection (with frequent service). The Lions Gate Bridge via Marine Drive runs 25 to 35 minutes off-peak. The Second Narrows Bridge via Hwy 1 runs 22 to 32 minutes off-peak. The SeaBus is often the fastest peak-hour option since it bypasses bridge congestion entirely. The Number 229 bus runs Lonsdale Avenue with frequent service to Lonsdale Quay. See the North Shore commute guide.

Upper Lonsdale is predominantly detached single-family on residential side streets, with mid-rise condo and townhome stock concentrated along Lonsdale Avenue itself. Detached housing stock spans 1940s-60s post-war originals, 1980s rebuilds, and newer custom infill on tear-down lots. Lot sizes typically run 5,500 to 8,500 square feet. Mountain views are common from elevation; some upper-storey city or water orientation. Multi-family along Lonsdale Avenue tends to be 1970s-2000s mid-rise apartments and townhome complexes, with newer development infill ongoing.

Both share the Sutherland Secondary catchment and Lonsdale Avenue transit corridor. The differences are character and inventory mix. Central Lonsdale is denser, with the highest concentration of condo and townhome stock on the Corridor outside Lower Lonsdale, plus walkable commercial at Lonsdale Avenue and 13th to 17th Streets (groceries, restaurants, services, the Centennial Theatre, the District library north branch). Upper Lonsdale is more residential, with predominantly detached on side streets and significantly less commercial density. Central Lonsdale for walkable urban-condo lifestyle; Upper Lonsdale for established residential detached with transit access.
