Vancouver waterfront properties — your questions answered
What are Vancouver's most coveted waterfront areas?
West Vancouver's waterfront — Dundarave, Ambleside, and the Horseshoe Bay area — is Metro Vancouver's most prestigious oceanfront. False Creek marinas and Coal Harbour are Vancouver's luxury urban waterfront. Deep Cove and Indian Arm offer sheltered wilderness waterfront within 30 minutes of downtown.
What does Vancouver waterfront cost?
Metro Vancouver oceanfront properties start around $3M for modest waterfront homes and rise to $20M+ for West Vancouver trophy estates. Coal Harbour sub-penthouses with water views typically range $2M–$6M. Indian Arm and Deep Cove recreational waterfront is $1.5M–$4M for detached homes.
What BC taxes apply to Vancouver waterfront?
BC's PTT rises to 3% above $2M. The foreign buyer tax adds 20% in the Metro Vancouver area. The Speculation and Vacancy Tax applies to non-primary-residence properties. On a $4M West Vancouver waterfront home, PTT alone exceeds $100,000 for a foreign buyer. BC taxes are among the highest in Canada on luxury waterfront.
Is there waterfront property on the Fraser River in Vancouver?
Yes. Richmond, Steveston, and New Westminster have Fraser River waterfront properties — typically less expensive than oceanfront and popular with buyers who want a water view and marina access at lower cost. Steveston Village's historic cannery district has a charming waterfront community character.
