Altamont Real Estate & Houses for Sale
Altamont offers a relaxed atmosphere and will appeal to home buyers who enjoy spending time outdoors. This part of West Vancouver is quiet, as the streets are usually calm - although there are still several noisier sections, especially around Trans-Canada Highway or the railway line. Finally, green spaces are very easy to reach since there are a few of them close by for residents to discover.
Transportation
Commuting by car is especially convenient in this neighbourhood. It is a rather short drive to the nearest highway, such as Trans-Canada Highway, from any home in Altamont, and parking is quite easy. On the other hand, commuting by public transit is challenging in Altamont. Nonetheless, the neighbourhood is linked by a few bus lines, and the closest bus stop is typically around the corner. Walking is not very feasible for residents in this area since very few common errands can be run without a car. It is also challenging to travel by bicycle in this neighbourhood because there are few bike lanes, and riding is rendered strenuous by the often sloping topography.
Housing
In Altamont, the vast majority of buildings are single detached homes, while the remainder are mainly duplexes. This part of West Vancouver is primarily composed of three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes. Roughly 85% of the properties in the neighbourhood are occupied by homeowners while the rest are rented. About one third of homes in this area were built pre-1960, while many of the remaining buildings were constructed in the 1960s and the 1990s.
Services
It is a short stroll to access daycares and primary schools from most properties for sale in this part of the municipality. In contrast, it can be very difficult to reach high schools as a pedestrian. With regards to eating, it is rarely feasible for property owners in this part of the municipality to access the closest grocery store on foot. There are a limited number of opportunities for those who care about restaurants within a short distance.
