Tucked into the North Shore mountains, Lynn Valley is quickly evolving into the Lower Mainland鈥檚 next great place to live. It鈥檚 got miles of hiking and biking trails through lush rainforest. It鈥檚 got great shops like , , , and a great sense of community spirit. It鈥檚 also on the verge of a major transformation as developments take shape that will create an expanded pedestrian-friendly village and hub for families, dog owners and outdoor adventure lovers.
But there aren鈥檛 a lot of condos. It鈥檚 a quiet community of mostly single-family homes. That鈥檚 about to change. Just steps from Lynn Valley鈥檚 village centre, is a new four-storey, 75 home condo development that offers an opportunity to buy into an untapped market where there are very few other new condo projects coming to market.
鈥淭his is going to be a fantastic place to live,鈥� says Nic Paolella, Development Manager for Marcon. 鈥淲e鈥檙e offering a limited opportunity to own an affordable and well-built home in an awesome community with proximity to the world鈥檚 best biking and outdoor adventures and within an easy commute to Vancouver.鈥�
