It would take less than an hour to walk past the five most expensive homes in Vancouver, and B.C, for that matter.
Three are neighbours, while the most expensive (Chip Wilson's waterfront mansion) is only about a 300-metre walk down the beach from the fifth of the top five.
The five properties have a total value of over a quarter-billion Canadian dollars, according to data released Tuesday (Jan 4) by .
Wilson's Point Grey Road home continues its streak as the most expensive piece of residential property in the province, topping the list with an assessed valued for 2023 of more than $74 million.
The Wilson property in Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»is followed by the first three homes on what's been nicknamed 'billionaires row' on Belmont Avenue just above Spanish Banks. Homes on that street take up 18 spots on the province's (Vancouver, unsurprisingly, dominates the list with more than half of the top 500 inside the city's borders).
However, one (4707 Belmont Ave.), is significantly higher than the other two, assessed at $66,964,000, just over $7 million below the top spot.
Supporting the assessed value of the trio is the recent sale of one of the homes (4743 Belmont Ave) which was bought for $42 million in 2021; it was assessed at $42,257,000. The palatial home was the former and longtime residence of Â鶹´«Ã½Ó³»philanthropists Joe and Rosalie Segal; Joe Segal died in May 2022.
The least expensive of the five homes with the highest assessed values is on the beach just east of Wilson, at 2815 Point Grey Rd. It's also the only one that doesn't have a tennis court outside (at least not one that's visible on Google Earth).
