Chartwell Real Estate & Houses for Sale

Chartwell offers a slower-paced atmosphere and will appeal to those who enjoy spending time in green spaces. There are around 20 parks nearby for residents to check out, including Hollyburn Country Club, resulting in them being very easy to get to from many locations in this neighbourhood. This part of West Vancouver is also very quiet, as the streets tend to be very tranquil - although that is not the case closer to taylor way or Trans-Canada Highway.

Transportation

Driving is an excellent mode of transportation in Chartwell. It is very easy to park, and most properties for sale are a very short drive from the nearest highway, such as Trans-Canada Highway. In contrast, commuting by public transit is challenging in Chartwell. Thankfully, homeowners are served by a few bus lines, and the closest bus stop is typically around the corner. Chartwell is not very conducive to those who like to travel as pedestrians since few daily needs can be carried out without a car. Biking is also difficult in Chartwell as the cycling network is fairly poor, and there are quite a few slopes.

Housing

The predominance of single detached homes in the housing stock of Chartwell is an important part of its character. Roughly 40% of properties in this neighbourhood were constructed in the 1960s and 1970s, while most of the remaining buildings were constructed pre-1960 and in the 1980s. This area is primarily composed of three bedroom and four or more bedroom homes. Around three quarters of the units in the neighbourhood are occupied by homeowners while the remainder are rented.

Services

Parents and their children will value the proximity to schools and daycares, which are within a short distance from the majority of properties for sale in Chartwell. Concerning food, in most cases, a car is required to purchase groceries. However, those who like to eat in restaurants will have a good number of choices.
