Forest Hills

Forest Hills is a small, distinct pocket tucked directly between Edgemont Village and Canyon Heights, and it borrows the best of both. Lots here are large and heavily treed, the streets are ultra-quiet, and there is zero commercial traffic passing through, this is a pure residential enclave.

What separates Forest Hills from its two neighbours is the combination it offers: lot sizes closer to Canyon Heights, but on a flatter, easier approach to Edgemont Village than the steep Canyon Heights streets provide.

It is a small inventory pocket by nature, given its size relative to Edgemont Village and Canyon Heights, so buyers targeting Forest Hills specifically should expect fewer listings at any given time than in the larger surrounding communities.

Housing Stock

• Lot type: Large, distinct lots, heavily treed, with a flatter approach than Canyon Heights.
• Character: Pure residential streets with no commercial traffic passing through.
• Price tier: Trades in a similar range to Canyon Heights, generally near the corridor's blended Single Family HPI benchmark (see the Edgemont & Canyon Heights page for current figures), with the added value of easier access to the Village.

Who This Is Actually Right For

Analyst Note: Forest Hills suits buyers who want Canyon Heights-scale lots and total quiet without the steep terrain, a hybrid buyer who values both privacy and a manageable walk to the Village. It is a poor fit for buyers who specifically want the sidewalk-to-cafe lifestyle of Edgemont Village itself.

Lifestyle & Amenities

• Quiet and privacy: No commercial traffic and heavy tree cover make this one of the quietest pockets in the corridor.
• Village access: A flatter, more direct approach to Edgemont Village than from Canyon Heights.
• Commute: Same corridor-wide pattern: Capilano Road and the Lions Gate Bridge for West Vancouver and Downtown access.

Schools

Forest Hills sits within the Handsworth Secondary catchment.
