AMBLESIDE WEST VANCOUVER Ambleside, a two-kilometre stretch along Marine Drive, is known as the downtown of West Vancouver. It has a long history as a quaint low-rise community with many shops and services, as well as civic buildings and art galleries. But the most historic neighbourhood in West Vancouver is gearing up for change.

A visitor traveling west on Marine Drive from the Lions Gate Bridge will pass the sprawling Park Royal Shopping Centre and then see the green stretches of Ambleside Park. A fixture here since its designation in 1918, the 59-acre park includes a beach, a seawall, an 18-hole pitch-and-putt golf course, a duck pond, tennis courts, a skateboard park, basketball courts, and two baseball diamonds. The beach, with its lovely views of the Lions Gate Bridge and Stanley Park, is a popular summer destination for barbecues and picnics. The seawall connects to a more challenging trail that takes runners or hikers along the Capilano River up to the Cleveland Dam. The park is also home to the wildly popular summer concert series called Ambleside Live, which has hosted performers including Kenny Chesney, Ed Sheeran and Tegan and Sara. From May to October, watch for the Ambleside Farmers' Market every Sunday, where vendors sell produce, fruits, breads, fish, jams, pickles, and a variety of crafts.

"West Vancouver has always been very protective of its neighbourhood character but now Ambleside is looking at change."

Further west, a collection of small shops and services line both sides of the spine of Marine Drive. If Park Royal offers a dazzling array of branded clothing and chain restaurants, Ambleside offers unique shops and cafĂŠs in a charming pedestrian-friendly oceanfront setting. Any visit to Ambleside must include a stop at the Savary Island Pie Company, a local institution much loved for its hearty soups and sandwiches as well as its famous pies in any flavour: berry, apple or meat. Errands are easy to run in Ambleside; services include shoe repair, insurance, medical, dental, optical, pharmacy, spa, nail and hair salons, and banks.

There are also inconspicuous but very fine dining establishments, such as the awardwinning Blue Eyed Mary's Bistro (named Best North Shore by Vancouver magazine), and Chez Michel. Casual spots such as Ambleside Bistro and Ginger and Soy are popular places to meet a friend for lunch.

Further down Marine Drive is the West Vancouver Memorial Library, which boasts the highest circulation rate per capita of any library in Canada. And then there is the landmark West Vancouver Community Centre, a boldly designed building with a curved roof and glass walls. Built to integrate recreational, arts, social and health services, this LEEDÂŽ Gold-certified building is a well-loved community hub with sports facilities including basketball courts, the aquatic centre, and a rink.

West Vancouver has always been very protective of its neighbourhood character (there is a bylaw, for example, against industry,) but now Ambleside is looking at change. After 40 years of mulling it over, the district has recently finalized a plan for the waterfront between 13th and 18th Streets. Over the years, the district has acquired 30 out of 32 private lots on the water, and now has a vision for a pedestrian-oriented area that connects with the commercial area of Marine Drive. Along with a new condo development which will likely bring younger generations to Ambleside, this revitalization promises to add vibrancy and continue the neighbourhood tradition well into the future.

UPPER LONSDALE NORTH VANCOUVER Nature lovers know there are ample green spaces in North Vancouver, with more than 140 kilometres of trails to explore.

The same goes for culture vultures who can revel in the tapestry of eateries, entertainment and shopping spots concentrated in its colourful communities. Residents of Upper Lonsdale are lucky enough to enjoy the best of both.

From its prime position above Highway 1, the Upper Lonsdale neighbourhood sits at the edge of the forest, with the remote reaches of the North Shore mountains rising above. When the buzz of Lower Lonsdale beckons, that community is simply a quick trip downhill. Upper Lonsdale offers another bonus: stunning views. At 850 metres above sea level, most homes offer vistas of carved mountains or distant seascapes. Even the characteristic red cranes of the Vancouver port can be seen from some vantage points.

The blend of historic homes and recently built residences has helped shape the Upper Lonsdale community into one with diverse offerings. Change has been undertaken with a slow and steady approach, which has helped create the character of this established neighbourhood. Luxurious craftsman-style homes are nestled next to charming bungalows, where ancient trees provide privacy in the forest setting. Townhouses add appeal to growing families and empty nesters alike, while low-rise condo buildings provide investment opportunities and affordability in a quiet setting.

Locally owned shops and eateries contribute to the community feel.

Gathering places include the Queens Cross Pub, which has been serving craft beer and juicy burgers since 1979, and the Rebellious Tomato, a lively pizzeria with an organic ethos. Just a stone’s throw away is Harmony Donut Shop, a newer establishment that’s chock-a-block with curios and, most importantly, decadent confections. It’s an ideal spot to indulge after a brisk hike on the Powerline or St. Mary’s trails nearby. Another loyal business is On Top Bike Shop, which has been helping the North Shore’s dedicated biking crowd gear up for more than 20 years.

Since schools are plentiful for kids of all ages, families can put down roots. The long-running Upper Lonsdale preschool gives parents peace of mind while providing little ones with play-based learning that ignites their imaginations and introduces them to friends they’ll have for life. There’s a trio of elementary schools to choose from, including Carisbrooke, Braemar and Andre-Piolat, a French school voted one of the 10 best public elementary schools in B.C. Older youth can continue their education in the neighbourhood at Mountainside Secondary.

Upper Lonsdale is tucked between the Princess Park neighbourhood to the east and Delbrook to the west, which has an adjoining sports field. Thanks to a $40 million investment from the North Vancouver Recreation & Culture Commission, the soon-to-be open William Griffin Community Recreation Centre will replace the Griffin and Delbrook recreation facilities.

With its 25-metre leisure pool, full-sized gym, arts and crafts areas and squash courts, the sleek LEED-certified building is sure to be a new gathering place for the community.

Yet the narrow enclave hemmed in between Robson and Homer streets and flowing toward the northern fringes of False Creek was home to heavy industry, including a shingle mill and cooperage. Log booms floated in the industrial inner city waterway. That area was only transformed 30 years ago from featureless mud flats into a spectacular showcase for Expo 86, the World’s Fair, which also marked the city’s centennial.

Today, glass condo towers and contemporary townhouses attract both growing families and dedicated urbanites to this revitalized wedge of the city that embraces its storied roots. In 1887, for instance, the Canadian Pacific Railway’s Engine 374 hauled the first transcontinental train into the city. This historic engine has been preserved at the 1888 post-and-beam Roundhouse Community Centre at the intersection of Davie Street and Pacific Boulevard. The Yaletown community converges at this arts and recreation centre, where kids can play basketball or join skateboard class while adults channel their inner artisans in the woodworking and ceramics studios. Steps away is Elsie Roy Elementary School and David Lam Park, a glorious green space with a playground—all facing the sparkling waters of False Creek.

In the core of Yaletown, particularly on Mainland and Hamilton streets, distinctive architectural features serve as reminders of Yaletown’s heritage. During the 1980s, the area was rezoned, allowing for an appealing mix of buildings for residential, commercial and industrial use. Overhanging canopies and red-brick loading docks bring a character to this corridor where warehouses have been transformed into grand, loft-style residences.

Original elements such as sweeping picture windows, fir flooring and brickwork have been retained, giving these city homes a New York City vibe. Many condos also enjoy that ultimate urban escape: rooftop decks with views of the city.

Fine dining and casual haunts are literally on these doorsteps. Blue Water Cafe & Raw Bar lures people with its sustainable seafood served up in stunning surroundings. An amble away, the Opus Hotel also attracts neighbourhood denizens to sip inventive cocktails in its sexy new lobby bar.

Coffee aficionados have ample choices for a jolt of java, like at longtime local chain JJ Bean and neighbourhood newcomer, Small Victory Cafe. Both offer street-facing patios for watching the city scene unfold.

There’s little reason to leave the neighbourhood, but the Yaletown Station on the Canada Line (a legacy from the 2010 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games) handily whisks people south to Vancouver International Airport and north to the waterfront. From here, it’s easy to take Harbour Air or Helijet to the islands, board a cruise ship to Alaska, or simply stroll the seawall to Stanley Park.
