Seymour appeals to people who come to North Vancouver wanting the outdoors to be part of everyday life.

Residential pockets sit close to the Seymour River and an extensive network of trails and natural spaces, making walking, cycling, and time outside remarkably easy to work into the day.

And then there's Mount Seymour. Head up Mount Seymour Parkway, and you have skiing and snowshoeing in winter, with hiking, mountain biking and mountain recreation throughout the warmer months. Deep Cove and the waterfront are also within easy reach, giving this side of North Vancouver access to both mountains and ocean.

The neighbourhood itself feels quieter and more residential than North Vancouver's urban centres, with everyday shopping and services available along the Mount Seymour Parkway corridor and nearby areas.

That quieter setting does mean less walkability and more reliance on a car, particularly compared with Lower or Central Lonsdale.

But if your idea of North Shore living means trails, river, forest and easy access to the mountains, while still being connected to everyday amenities, Seymour puts you remarkably close to all of it.
