Greater Vancouver REALTORS reports Cypress as its own area within its West Vancouver report. We have not been able to confirm the exact boundaries from a District source, so check the reporting area for any listing you are considering and confirm the address on a map. On the Greater Vancouver REALTORS 2022 area map, Cypress sits on the Burrard Inlet shoreline between Olde Caulfeild and Sandy Cove, along Marine Drive.

In the September 2026 Greater Vancouver REALTORS report, Cypress had 1 detached sale against 6 active listings, a sales to active listings ratio of about 16.7 percent, inside the balanced range. With 1 sale behind the Cypress ratio, treat it as a snapshot and not a trend.

The September 2026 detached benchmark was $3,421,600, down 12.2 percent year over year. A Greater Vancouver REALTORS benchmark is a statistical measure of a typical home in a segment. It is not the price of any particular home, and individual houses vary with lot, view, size, condition and location.

The Cypress detached benchmark of $3,421,600 was about 21.2 percent above the GVR West Vancouver reporting area detached benchmark of $2,822,900 in September 2026. That area figure includes communities outside the District of West Vancouver, so it is a reference point and not a like for like comparison.

In the September 2026 Greater Vancouver REALTORS report there were no condo sales or active listings and no townhome sales or active listings in Cypress, so there are no condo or townhome benchmarks. Listings change over time, so run a search to see what is available now.

The Archives say Stearman Avenue was named in 1926 for W.C. Stearman, a Vancouver hardware merchant and president of the Cypress Park Land Co., and that Ross Crescent honours property owner William Ross. Cypress Creek was named by Point Atkinson lighthouse keepers soon after 1879, with accounts differing on whether it was for a grove of cypress or for logs broken up on the rocks. The records cite a 2004 gazetteer we have not read.

School catchments in West Vancouver are set by address, not by neighbourhood name, and one street can differ from the next. Use the School District 45 School Locator, enter the street and house number, and keep a record of the result. Confirm eligibility with the school or district before you rely on it when buying.

Confirm the zoning for the exact address, the title and any covenants or easements, and ask for a current survey. Review permits and inspection reports for past renovations. Check the slope, drainage and retaining walls on the lot, and visit at different times of day to judge traffic, noise and access.

Gather the survey, title documents, permits and inspection reports, and records of any major work. Be ready to explain the lot, slope, drainage, and any access or easement questions. Price using recent sales on your street and nearby streets, and review the dated figures in the market section rather than relying on the area benchmark alone.

The District has a Foreshore development permit area covering waterfront properties and upland properties below the Flood Construction Level, and an Environmental area for work within 15 metres of a creek top of bank, with Cypress Creek reaching Burrard Inlet near Stearman Beach. The pages do not say which lots are covered, so check the District mapping or ask District staff about a specific property.

The September 2026 report shows the detached benchmark down 12.2 percent year over year. That is a GVR figure for one segment with very few sales. We do not explain or predict price movements. Look at the dated figures and recent sales on the specific street rather than the headline percentage.

Greater Vancouver REALTORS reports Cypress and Caulfeild and Cypress Park Estates as separate areas. The differences come down to the specific street, views, access and property type. Compare each listing against sales in the same reporting area, and see our Caulfeild and Cypress Park Estates pages for those areas.
