Capilano is one of North Vancouver's most active detached neighbourhoods — a well-established mid-district area where consistent lot sizes, strong school catchments, and genuine proximity to the Capilano River corridor have anchored demand for decades. The streets here are residential in the truest sense: quiet, well-maintained, and populated by families who chose the neighbourhood deliberately and tend to stay. It is not a neighbourhood that trades on prestige or architectural drama. It trades on fundamentals, and the fundamentals are strong.
The housing stock runs from original mid-century homes of the 1940s through to the 1970s — the kind of homes that offer a practical entry point into North Vancouver detached ownership or a blank canvas for a builder — alongside a growing number of custom builds from the last decade that reflect the neighbourhood's upward trajectory. The Carson Graham Secondary catchment anchors buyer demand at every price point, and the Capilano Elementary school serves the neighbourhood at the K-7 level. For families who want a long-term North Vancouver address with consistent value and a genuine community feel, Capilano delivers.

Capilano Homes by Price
Capilano Homes Under $1,600,000 The entry point into Capilano detached ownership. Original mid-century homes from the 1940s through to the 1970s on standard 7,000 square foot lots — ideal for buyers stepping up from strata, renovators, and those looking for a build opportunity within the Carson Graham catchment.
Capilano Homes $1,600,000 to $2,000,000 The most active price range in Capilano. Updated and well-maintained homes on consistent lots within the Carson Graham Secondary and Capilano Elementary catchments. The deepest pool of inventory and the strongest comparable sales base in the neighbourhood.
Capilano Homes $2,000,000 to $2,750,000 Substantially renovated homes and entry-level custom builds. Larger floorplans, higher quality finishes, and well-positioned lots that reflect the full potential of the Capilano address.
Capilano Homes Over $2,750,000 Capilano at its finest. Premium custom builds on standard or larger lots, with contemporary architecture, high end finishes, and homes that represent the neighbourhood's next chapter.
Capilano by Property Type
All Capilano Detached Homes The dominant property type in Capilano. Predominantly mid-century detached homes on consistent 7,000 square foot lots, with a growing number of custom builds reflecting the neighbourhood's ongoing renewal.
Capilano New Construction Newly built and recently completed homes within Capilano. Custom builds on redeveloped lots featuring contemporary design, modern finishes, and full warranty protection.
Capilano is a predominantly detached neighbourhood with one of the more consistent lot profiles in North Vancouver — the majority of residential lots run approximately 7,000 square feet, which gives the neighbourhood a uniformity that makes comparable sales analysis more straightforward than in areas with wider variation. That consistency also means buyers know what they are getting: a standard lot, a quiet residential street, and a property that competes directly against a clear set of neighbours.
The housing stock tells two stories. The first is the original mid-century inventory — homes from the 1940s through the 1970s, typically running 1,700 to 2,800 square feet, that represent the neighbourhood's character base and its most accessible price points. These homes attract a range of buyers: families who want a livable home in the Carson Graham catchment at a realistic price, renovators looking for a project, and builders who see the consistent lot size as a reliable foundation for redevelopment. The second story is the newer construction — custom builds from the last decade that have replaced a growing number of originals and pushed the upper end of the Capilano price range well above $3 million.
Transaction volume in Capilano is among the stronger of the mid-district North Vancouver neighbourhoods, which means buyers generally have real choices and sellers can anchor their pricing to a meaningful body of comparable sales.
Capilano sellers benefit from one of the more liquid markets in mid-district North Vancouver. With consistent lot sizes and a steady volume of comparable transactions, pricing a Capilano home is a more grounded exercise than in lower-volume neighbourhoods — but it still requires precision. The gap between an original mid-century home and a newer custom build on the same street can be substantial, and buyers are well-informed enough to price that gap correctly.
The key variables in a Capilano listing are condition, floorplan, and finish quality. Original homes that have been well maintained and thoughtfully updated consistently outperform those that have been left as-is. Newer custom builds compete directly against each other and need to be priced against recent new-build comparables rather than the broader neighbourhood average.
The Carson Graham catchment is a consistent drawing card at the table. We know this neighbourhood well and we know the buyers who shop it. If you are considering selling, start with a proper evaluation.

The MLS Home Price Index Benchmark for Capilano detached homes, as reported by Greater Vancouver REALTORS, reflects the neighbourhood's position as a mid-range North Vancouver detached area with consistent demand driven by the school catchments, lot size uniformity, and practical location.
Pricing in Capilano spans a meaningful range — from original mid-century homes at the entry level through to large custom builds at the premium end — but the core of the market is well-defined. The most active price range reflects the neighbourhood's original housing stock: updated and well-maintained homes on standard lots within the Carson Graham catchment.
For current benchmark figures, see the Market Update section below. For an accurate sense of where your specific property sits within the Capilano range, a home evaluation is the right starting point.

Market Update — February 2026
The Capilano MLS Home Price Index Benchmark for detached homes is $2,188,500 as of February 2026, a change of -5.8% year over year.
Across North Vancouver detached as a whole, the benchmark sits at $2,031,700 in February 2026, also down year over year. Active listings have increased compared to the same period last year, and the sales-to-active ratio for North Vancouver detached sits at 13.7% — placing the overall market in buyer's market territory. Capilano, with its consistent lot sizes and steady transaction volume, reflects those broader conditions while maintaining its position as one of the mid-district's more reliably active markets.

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.
