Our Experience Beyond Lynn Valley Real Estate
As top North Vancouver realtors, we have extensive experience buying and selling Lynn Valley real estate. But we’re not just Lynn Valley realtors—we’re locals.
For over 18 years, I (Suzanne) lived with my family in Lynn Valley. My husband and I both attended Argyle Secondary. Our first Lynn Valley home was situated on Lynn Canyon Park and is where we raised our three children.
One of our favourite hikes in Lynn Valley is Baden Powell Trail. This well-maintained 48 km trail has several access points throughout the Lynn Valley neighbourhood and stretches from Deep Cove to Horseshoe Bay.
We loved every minute of living in this peaceful yet exciting North Vancouver neighbourhood. We spent countless hours exploring the trails in Lynn Canyon Park. Our children enjoyed playing at the playgrounds, attending community events at Lynn Valley Village, and grew up visiting the Ecology Centre, where they developed a love for the environment and animals. The Lynn Valley Recreation Centre and Karen Magnussen Recreation Centre were also a significant part of our lives. We participated in preschool programs, swimming lessons, skating lessons, and various community activities there. With the natural beauty and abundant outdoor recreation options close by, our kids’ childhood in Lynn Valley was truly unforgettable.
We have since moved to Upper Lynn but continue to enjoy the same sense of community and neighbourly charm we experienced in Lynn Valley.
“Our much-loved family home in Lynn Valley, embodying Lynn Valley living where we raised three kids and cherished countless memories over 18 years.”

Among the prominent players in this industry was the Lynn Valley Lumber Co., which operated a Shingle Mill at Harold Road and Mountain Highway.
