Queens
Detached homes on the slope above Dundarave, many with a view.
The Short Version
Queens climbs the hillside behind Dundarave, on residential streets like Queens Avenue, Rosebery Avenue and Orchard Way. It's almost entirely detached homes, many with water and city views, with the village a short drive or a steep walk down.
For buyers who want Dundarave's schools and village without paying for the flats or the waterfront, Queens is often where the search ends up.
What You're Buying
What sets Queens apart
The assets, the trade-offs and the details worth checking before you make an offer.
Houses With a View
Elevation does a lot of the work here.
Detached homes on sloping lots, many facing south over the water. Original mid-century homes and newer rebuilds sit side by side on most streets.
The slope that brings the view also brings steep driveways, retaining walls and drainage to check. Some streets are a real climb back from the village.
Renovate, Rebuild or Add a Unit
Older homes on good lots.
Renovating or rebuilding is a common conversation in Queens, and provincial small-scale housing rules allow more than one home on many single-family lots.
Before you plan a rebuild or a second unit, confirm zoning, setbacks, any view covenants or other charges on title, and the cost of slope and drainage work. What's allowed varies by lot, so check the specific property.
Dundarave's Address, Up the Hill
Often the more attainable way in.
You get the same schools and the same village down the hill, usually at a lower price per square foot than the flats or the waterfront.
Homes closest to the Upper Levels Highway pick up more traffic noise. The quietest streets are usually a few blocks away from it.
"Queens is where I take buyers who want a Dundarave house without the Dundarave flats price. A good view and a well-built older home on a solid lot is often the best value here."

Schools in and near Queens
Catchments are set by address, not by neighbourhood, so treat this as a starting point.

Depending on the address, students attend West Vancouver Secondary or Sentinel Secondary.
West Vancouver's catchments don't follow sub-area lines, so 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.
