Chartwell
Larger homes on the upper slopes, with schools on the doorstep.
The Short Version
Chartwell climbs the upper slopes of the British Properties around Chartwell Drive, with newer enclaves like Camelot higher up. It's detached homes on large lots, many with sweeping views over the city, the harbour and the Strait.
Chartwell Elementary and Sentinel Secondary sit side by side on Chartwell Drive, which makes it one of the few West Vancouver neighbourhoods where both schools can be a short walk away.
What You're Buying
What sets Chartwell apart
The assets, the trade-offs and the details worth checking before you make an offer.
Big Homes, Big Views
Elevation is the draw.
Large lots and larger homes, from 1960s and 70s originals to newer custom builds, with some of the widest views on the North Shore.
Higher elevation means more snow and ice in winter, steeper driveways and a longer drive down for errands.
Schools in the Neighbourhood
Elementary and secondary, side by side.
Chartwell Elementary and Sentinel Secondary share Chartwell Drive, so many families can walk from Kindergarten through Grade 12.
Living near the schools doesn't guarantee a spot. Confirm the catchment for the exact address and ask the district about space before you buy for the school.
Read the Title Closely
Building schemes shape what you can build.
Design controls have kept the upper slopes consistent, with view corridors and landscaping often protected.
Many British Properties lots carry a building scheme or restrictive covenants on title, on top of municipal zoning, and these can control things like height, siting, view corridors and landscaping. Review the title and any registered scheme before you plan a renovation, rebuild or second unit.
"Chartwell suits families who want space, a view and both schools close by. I always ask buyers to drive it on a snowy morning before they fall for the view."

Catchments are set by address, not by neighbourhood, so treat this as a starting point.
K to 7. On Chartwell Drive.
Grades 8 to 12. Next door on Chartwell Drive.
West Vancouver's catchments don't follow sub-area lines, and on the hillside two homes a street apart can fall in different catchments. Confirm the exact address in the West Vancouver Schools School Locator. Programmes like IB and French Immersion have their own enrolment process and limited space.
