Overview
In a stunning West Coast setting surrounded by mature evergreens and meandering pathways, you’ll find Twin Lakes—a rarely available and extensively upgraded 7-building townhouse rental complex improved on a 9.42 acre site featuring 57 units. The project comprises approximately 73,050 net leasable sq. ft. and consists of two and three bedroom townhomes located in the Upper Lonsdale neighbourhood at the District of North Vancouver. The property contains two lakes in the northwest portion of the property, which are connected by Hastings Creek.
Location
Twin Lakes is a community with an abundance of natural and urban amenities. The shops of Lynn Valley Town Centre and Upper Lonsdale, neighbourhood cafés, grocery stores and great restaurants are within close proximity. Carisbrooke Elementary School and the sought-after Argyle Secondary School offering French immersion are within walking distance. Nestled perfectly between Grouse and Seymour Mountains and just across the street from Princess Park with easy access to the North Shore trails.
Specifically, the subject property is located in the Carisbrooke Neighbourhood of the District of North Vancouver bounded by Princess Avenue to the southeast, a BC Hydro Right of Way to the northeast, East Braemar Road to the north, Regent Avenue to the northwest and Rutherford Crescent to the southwest. Just south of the property is Princess Park, a 38.3 acre park offering two tennis courts, picnic shelter, washrooms, open grassy area and forest trails along Hastings Creek.
