Home: Deep Cove neighbourhood (North Vancouver)
Deep Cove is an attractive beachfront village with a charming retail centre. It is located at the entrance to Indian Arm and surrounded by lush rain forest on the slopes of Mount Seymour. Its a solid drive from Vancouver, giving residents a relaxed "vacation" feel which seems to bring with it high prices and mostly upper-middle-income inhabitants. Because its on the lee slope of a mountain, it gets a lot of rain and little sunshine.
Homes
Homes in Deep Cove run $800,000-1.4 million averaging 920,000; with condos running 328-390,000 abd waterfront properties in the $1 to 2 million range.
Home owners get seaside-community ambiance along with a nice waterfront park. Housing is usually in the form of older cottages, character homes and bungalows. Newer construction tends to be for large senior-executive view properties and waterfront estates. There are four main neighbourhoods here: Deep Cove along the water, Cove Cliff overlooking Indian Arm, Dollarton nestled against Cates Park, and Indian Arm higher up on the hill closer to Mount Seymour.
Schools
Deep Cove has its own elementary and secondary school.
Shopping
There are a number of quaint stores in Deep Cove, though the Dollar Shopping Centre is about a mile away on the Dollarton Highway. More serious shopping is done at one of the larger malls in North or West Van or across Burrard Inlet in Burnaby.
Recreation
The community lives in the shadow of Mount Seymour Provincial Park, with its endless skiing and hiking possibilities. The cove itself is home to a park and a marina. There is golfing at the public Seymour Golf Course, and more recreation activities are centered around Cates Park to the south.
