Areas we serve
Every neighbourhood. One builder.
We work across the North Shore and Greater Vancouver. Each neighbourhood has its own terrain, housing stock, municipal process, and building conditions. We know them all.
District of North Vancouver
District of North Vancouver
The District wraps around the City on three sides, from Deep Cove in the east to Capilano in the west, and up into the mountain slopes. Larger lots, steeper terrain, more stringent tree protection, and longer permit timelines.
North Vancouver
North Vancouver is where RealDream Construction is based and where the majority of our work happens. We've renovated kitchens in Lynn Valley, rebuilt bathrooms in Edgemont, finished basements in Lower Lonsdale, and worked on homes across the District and City of North Vancouver.
View area
Deep Cove
Deep Cove sits at the eastern edge of the District of North Vancouver, surrounded by water on three sides and backed by Mount Seymour parkland. It's one of the most desirable neighbourhoods on the North Shore, and one of the more complicated places to build.
View area
Lynn Valley
Lynn Valley is one of the most active renovation markets in North Vancouver. The neighbourhood has a large stock of homes built between the 1960s and 1980s: solidly located on good-sized lots, close to trails and schools, but with interiors, mechanical systems, and building envelopes that are 40 to 60 years old.
View area
Upper Lonsdale
Upper Lonsdale starts where the terrain gets serious. North of 29th Street, the lots get steeper, the trees get taller, and the views open up across the inlet to Vancouver.
View area
Edgemont
Edgemont Village sits in the upper reaches of the District of North Vancouver, at the base of Grouse Mountain and the surrounding trail network. The neighbourhood has some of the best lots on the North Shore (large, forested, with mountain and inlet views) and some of the most complex building conditions.
View area
Capilano
The Capilano area (covering Capilano Highlands, Park Royal adjacent areas, and the neighbourhoods between the Capilano River and the Lions Gate Bridge corridor) is one of the quieter pockets of the North Shore for construction, but it's an area with significant renovation potential. Homes here tend to be well-maintained 1960s through 1980s builds on good-sized lots, with access to both the North Shore mountains and the bridge commute into Vancouver.
View area
Canyon Heights
Canyon Heights occupies some of the highest residential ground in the District of North Vancouver, tucked between Capilano Road and the slopes below Grouse Mountain. The neighbourhood's roots trace to the late 1940s and early 1950s, when post-war suburban growth (spurred in part by the construction of Cleveland Dam between 1951 and 1954) opened up the upper Capilano Valley for residential development.
View area
Blueridge
Blueridge is a hidden pocket in the District of North Vancouver, surrounded by forest on three sides, at the base of Mount Seymour, with only two road access points from the south. The neighbourhood began with a single road pushing up the hill from Keith Road in 1953, and by 1955 was being advertised as 'showcase homes in what seems to be a secluded slice of North Vancouver.
View area
Dollarton
Dollarton stretches along the eastern waterfront of the District of North Vancouver, where Burrard Inlet meets the entrance to Indian Arm. The neighbourhood was founded in 1916 by Robert Dollar: a Scottish-born, San Francisco-based lumber baron who bought 100 acres here and built a sawmill, a company wharf, and a small company town with a post office, church, community hall, and school.
View area
Delbrook
Delbrook occupies the mid-slope area between Mosquito Creek and Upper Lonsdale in the District of North Vancouver. The neighbourhood developed in the 1950s and 1960s as part of the post-war building boom on the North Shore, and it holds one of the most significant concentrations of West Coast Modern post-and-beam homes in Metro Vancouver.
View area
Pemberton Heights
Pemberton Heights is one of the North Shore's oldest and most established residential communities, sitting between Capilano Road and Marine Drive in the District of North Vancouver. The neighbourhood's roots go back to the late 1800s, when English immigrants were drawn by old-growth forests and Burrard Inlet views.
View area
Maplewood
Maplewood sits in the eastern portion of the District of North Vancouver, along the Dollarton Highway corridor between the Ironworkers Memorial Bridge and Deep Cove. The area has deep roots: Coast Salish peoples (Tsleil-Waututh Nation) inhabited this land for millennia, and European settlement began in 1865 when Hugh Barr purchased the first parcels east of the Seymour River.
View area
Seymour Heights
Seymour Heights is the older residential neighbourhood below Blueridge in the District of North Vancouver, with Mount Seymour Provincial Park as its backyard. The area developed primarily in the 1960s and 1970s after the Second Narrows Bridge opened the eastern North Shore.
View area
Westlynn
Westlynn sits at the western edge of Lynn Valley in the District of North Vancouver, with Lynn Canyon Park directly to the east. The broader Lynn Valley area was originally a logging community in the late 1800s, known as 'Shaketown': either for the shake-sided shacks housing lumberjacks or the cedar shakes and shingle bolts produced by the mill.
View area
Norgate
Norgate has one of the more unusual origin stories on the North Shore. The land was originally planned to become the Capilano Air Park: an airfield proposed in 1945 with two runways, though it was never funded (partly deemed unsafe due to proximity to the Lions Gate Bridge).
View areaCity of North Vancouver
City of North Vancouver
The City is the urban core: Lower Lonsdale, Central Lonsdale, Moodyville, and Grand Boulevard. Smaller lots, higher density zoning, and faster permit processing than the District.
Lower Lonsdale
Lower Lonsdale ("Lolo" to locals) is the densest, most walkable neighbourhood in North Vancouver. The area has seen significant redevelopment over the past decade, but a large stock of older single-family homes, duplexes, and low-rise buildings remains.
View area
Central Lonsdale
Central Lonsdale sits between the waterfront energy of Lower Lonsdale and the quieter residential streets of Upper Lonsdale. It's a mix of post-war bungalows, mid-century ranchers, and newer infill on the corridor between 13th and 23rd streets.
View area
Moodyville
Moodyville is the oldest non-Indigenous settlement on Burrard Inlet. In 1863, T.
View area
Grand Boulevard
Grand Boulevard was created in 1906 by the North Vancouver Land and Improvement Company, designed as a generous fire break following the lessons of that year's San Francisco earthquake. The vision came from Edward Mahon, an Anglo-Irish settler and founding father of the City of North Vancouver, influenced by the Garden City and City Beautiful planning movements.
View areaWest Vancouver
West Vancouver
West of the Capilano River: British Properties, Ambleside, Dundarave. Premium lots, ocean proximity, and a separate municipal government with its own design review process.
Greater Vancouver
Greater Vancouver
Beyond the North Shore: Vancouver, New Westminster, White Rock. Different municipalities, different conditions, the same standards.
Vancouver
Vancouver's building environment is different from the North Shore. The lots are flatter, the density is higher, and the city's permit and zoning system has its own logic.
View area
New Westminster
New Westminster has some of the oldest housing stock in Metro Vancouver, and that creates a specific kind of renovation market. Homes in Queen's Park, Brow of the Hill, and Sapperton range from Victorian-era heritage properties to mid-century bungalows: all with their own structural conditions, code compliance considerations, and renovation potential.
View area
White Rock
White Rock sits at the southern edge of Metro Vancouver with a building environment that combines oceanfront exposure, hillside lots, and an established residential community. RealDream Construction takes on select renovation projects in White Rock and the surrounding South Surrey area.
