Braemar is one of North Vancouver's smallest and most private neighbourhoods, a tight collection of streets tucked into the upper District municipality where the roads dead-end into forest and the homes are large, quiet, and rarely available. It is the kind of neighbourhood that buyers discover once and do not forget. The housing stock is almost entirely custom-built detached homes from the 1990s and early 2000s, running four to six thousand square feet on generous lots, with a character that reflects the ambitions of the families who originally built here and the care of those who have maintained them since.
What Braemar offers is genuinely difficult to replicate at any price: proximity to the mountains and trails that define the upper North Shore, a neighbourhood where through-traffic is essentially nonexistent, homes that were built to a higher standard than most of their era, and the Carson Graham Secondary catchment for families working through the school question. It does not trade often. When it does, buyers who have been patient tend to move quickly.

Braemar Homes by Price

Braemar Homes Over $3,250,000 Braemar at its finest. The neighbourhood's largest and best-positioned homes, with exceptional scale, privacy, and the quiet that only a true cul-de-sac address can provide.
Braemar by Property Type

Braemar New Construction Newly built and recently completed homes within Braemar. Custom builds on redeveloped lots featuring contemporary design, modern finishes, and full warranty protection
Braemar is among the smallest neighbourhoods in North Vancouver by transaction volume, which is itself part of the appeal. There are no condos, no townhomes, and no strata developments — just a contained collection of large detached homes on quiet streets that were planned from the outset to be private and residential. The lots are generous, the homes are substantial, and the neighbourhood has a settled, established quality that comes from having been built out largely in a single era and left largely unchanged since.
The housing stock is almost entirely custom-built detached homes from the 1990s, ranging from approximately 3,000 to over 6,000 square feet. These are not entry-level properties by any measure — buyers here are typically families who have already been through the North Shore market once or twice and are making a deliberate long-term decision. The combination of square footage, lot privacy, cul-de-sac positioning, and proximity to the mountains makes Braemar a neighbourhood that tends to hold its value even when broader market conditions are soft.
Because so few homes change hands in any given year, pricing in Braemar requires careful analysis of the specific property rather than reliance on neighbourhood averages. Individual home characteristics — lot position, square footage, condition, and view — carry more weight here than they do in higher-volume neighbourhoods.
Selling in Braemar requires a different approach than selling in a higher-volume neighbourhood. With only a handful of transactions in a typical year, there is no steady stream of comparable sales to anchor a pricing conversation, every listing is, to some degree, setting its own precedent. That makes the quality of your agent's analysis and their familiarity with the specific buyer for a Braemar home more consequential than almost anywhere else on the North Shore.
The buyers for Braemar homes are a specific group: families who want scale, privacy, and the Carson Graham catchment, and who have typically been looking carefully for some time before they act. They are not impulse buyers. Pricing needs to reflect the genuine uniqueness of what Braemar offers while remaining grounded in what comparable properties have actually transacted for, a balance that requires knowing the neighbourhood deeply.
We have been working the upper District of North Vancouver for years and understand exactly what drives value in low-volume neighbourhoods like Braemar. If you are thinking about selling, the right starting point is a conversation.

The MLS Home Price Index Benchmark for Braemar, as reported by Greater Vancouver REALTORS, reflects the neighbourhood's character as a low-volume area of large, custom-built detached homes. Because transaction volumes are small, the benchmark figure is not always available in a given month — but the underlying value drivers are consistent: generous lot sizes, substantial square footage, cul-de-sac privacy, and proximity to the mountains and the Carson Graham catchment.
Braemar homes have generally transacted in a range consistent with the upper end of North Vancouver detached pricing. For a precise sense of where a specific property sits, a property-level analysis is far more meaningful than any neighbourhood average.
For current benchmark figures where available, see the Market Update section below. For an accurate assessment of your specific property, a home evaluation is the right place to start.
Market Update — February 2026
Braemar is a low-volume neighbourhood and a neighbourhood-specific MLS Home Price Index Benchmark is not always available in a given month due to the small number of transactions. For broader context, the North Vancouver detached benchmark sits at $2,031,700 as of February 2026, down year over year, with the sales-to-active ratio for North Vancouver detached at 13.7% — placing the overall market in buyer's market territory.
Within Braemar specifically, four homes sold in 2025 in a range from $2,100,000 to $3,083,000, reflecting the neighbourhood's 1990s custom-built stock and generous lot and square footage profiles.

Braemar Place and Braemar Road The heart of the neighbourhood. Braemar Place is a quiet loop that captures the essence of what makes the area distinctive — large homes set back from the road behind mature landscaping, generous lot sizes, and a level of privacy that is rare in any North Vancouver neighbourhood at any price. Braemar Road connects the neighbourhood to the upper district and is where most buyers get their first sense of the character that defines the area.
Michener Way One of the neighbourhood's premier addresses. Homes on Michener Way are among the largest in Braemar, typically running close to or above 4,800 square feet on well-proportioned lots. The street has a particularly settled feel and has been home to some of the neighbourhood's most notable transactions.
Citadel Court A quiet cul-de-sac that offers the maximum level of privacy within an already private neighbourhood. Citadel Court homes sit at the upper end of the Braemar range in terms of both square footage and price, and they rarely come to market. Buyers who want the ultimate in quiet residential living on the North Shore pay close attention to this street.

The schools anchor the family proposition at the other end. Braemar Elementary serves the neighbourhood at the K-7 level, and Carson Graham Secondary takes students through grades 8 to 12. Both are well-regarded within School District 44, and for families making a long-term real estate decision, knowing the full K-12 arc is covered without reassignment risk matters.
Day to day, the neighbourhood is quiet in a way that feels deliberate rather than isolated. The cul-de-sac layout of most Braemar streets means there is no through-traffic, children play outside with the kind of freedom that is increasingly rare in suburban neighbourhoods, and the pace of life reflects the demographics: families who moved here on purpose and tend to stay.
Catchment boundaries should always be confirmed directly with School District 44, as they can change. https://www.sd44.ca
Buyers in the Carson Graham Secondary catchment. The catchment covers a broad swath of the lower and mid-district, but Braemar's positioning within it, combined with Braemar Elementary at the K-7 level, makes it a clean K-12 solution for families who want to settle into a single neighbourhood for the long term.
Outdoor lifestyle buyers. The proximity to the Capilano River and the trail networks of the upper district is a genuine differentiator. Buyers who hike, run, cycle, or simply want forest on their doorstep will find Braemar exceptionally well positioned.
Buyers who value low turnover and neighbourhood stability. Braemar does not see the constant churn of more transactional areas. Neighbours know each other, the streets are consistently well maintained, and there is a community character that comes from people choosing to stay rather than move on.
It may not be the right fit for buyers who:
Need walkability or transit access. Braemar is car-dependent for daily errands and is not served by frequent transit. Everything requires a drive.
Want a wider choice of listings. With only a handful of homes changing hands in a typical year, buyers who need to move quickly or want multiple options to compare may find the inventory limiting.
Are looking for a more central or connected address. Braemar sits at the upper edge of the district, and while that is a feature for many buyers, those who want to be closer to Lonsdale, the waterfront, or the commercial energy of Lower or Central North Vancouver will find the commute to those areas less convenient.
Braemar vs. Forest Hills Both are upper-District detached neighbourhoods with large homes, quiet streets, and strong school catchments. The key distinction is catchment: Braemar is in the Carson Graham Secondary zone, Forest Hills in the Handsworth zone. Forest Hills has a broader range of housing stock — including original 1950s homes at lower price points alongside custom builds — while Braemar is almost entirely 1990s custom construction with consistently large square footages. Buyers comparing the two are usually deciding between catchments as much as neighbourhoods. https://www.wallacegreen.ca/forest-hills-nv
Braemar vs. Edgemont Edgemont has a walkable village at its centre and a wider, more varied inventory. Braemar is more removed and more private, with larger homes and no commercial activity nearby. Edgemont sits in the Handsworth catchment; Braemar in Carson Graham. Buyers who want village access and neighbourhood energy tend toward Edgemont; buyers who want maximum quiet and scale tend toward Braemar. https://www.wallacegreen.ca/edgemont
Braemar vs. Princess Park Princess Park shares the Carson Graham catchment and offers detached homes in a similarly quiet upper-district setting. Homes in Princess Park tend to be slightly smaller and in a broader range of eras, while Braemar is more consistently large and from the 1990s. Both neighbourhoods appeal to a similar buyer profile and buyers considering one will almost always look at the other. https://www.wallacegreen.ca/princess-park
If you are searching within the Carson Graham Secondary catchment, Braemar is one of several North Vancouver neighbourhoods that qualify. Each offers a distinct lifestyle and housing type at different price points.
Lower Lonsdale Waterfront-adjacent condo and townhome living with the highest walkability on the North Shore. The Carson Graham catchment at its most urban.
Central Lonsdale The commercial and residential heart of North Vancouver. Strong condo and detached inventory across a wide price range.
Upper Lonsdale Established detached neighbourhood above the Lonsdale corridor. Family-oriented with strong lot sizes and consistent demand.
Pemberton Heights One of North Vancouver's most character-rich detached neighbourhoods. Craftsman homes, tree-lined streets, and strong long-term value.
Princess Park Quiet upper-district detached neighbourhood with a similar buyer profile to Braemar at slightly more accessible price points.
Catchment boundaries should always be confirmed directly with School District 44, as they can change. https://www.sd44.ca
What is the school catchment for Braemar? Braemar feeds into Braemar Elementary for K-7 and Carson Graham Secondary for grades 8 to 12. Carson Graham is one of North Vancouver's established secondary schools serving the mid and upper district. Catchment boundaries should always be confirmed directly with School District 44 before purchasing, as they can change. https://www.sd44.ca
What type of homes are available in Braemar? Braemar is an almost entirely detached neighbourhood with no condos or townhomes. The housing stock is predominantly large custom-built homes from the 1990s, typically running between 3,000 and 6,500 square feet on generous private lots running from around 8,000 to nearly 15,000 square feet. It is one of the few North Vancouver neighbourhoods where large square footage and lot size are the norm rather than the exception.
What are homes selling for in Braemar right now? For current benchmark pricing where available, see the Market Update section on this page. Because Braemar sees very few transactions in a given year, pricing is best understood at the property level rather than through neighbourhood averages.
Why does Braemar see so few sales? Low turnover is a feature of the neighbourhood rather than a concern about it. Braemar homeowners tend to stay for long periods — the combination of home size, privacy, school catchments, and proximity to the mountains makes it a difficult address to improve upon. When homes do come to market, buyers who have been waiting tend to act.
Is Braemar walkable? Braemar is car-dependent for daily errands. There are no shops, cafes, or services within walking distance of the neighbourhood. However, proximity to the upper district trail networks means that outdoor recreation on foot is genuinely accessible for residents who take advantage of it.
What is the lot size in Braemar? Lots in Braemar are genuinely exceptional by North Vancouver standards, typically running from around 8,000 to nearly 15,000 square feet. Combined with the large home sizes, this gives Braemar properties a scale and privacy that is difficult to find elsewhere in the district at comparable price points.
How does Braemar compare to other Carson Graham catchment neighbourhoods? Braemar is the most private and large-home-oriented of the Carson Graham catchment neighbourhoods. Lower Lonsdale, Central Lonsdale, and Upper Lonsdale offer more urban settings and greater amenity access; Pemberton Heights and Princess Park offer more mid-district character home alternatives. Braemar sits at the upper end in terms of home size, privacy, and mountain proximity. See the comparison section on this page for more detail.
How long do homes typically sit on the market in Braemar? It varies significantly. Well-priced homes can move very quickly — one recent transaction sold in a single day. Homes priced at the upper end of the range, or those requiring a more specific buyer, can take considerably longer. For current market context, see the Market Update section on this page.
