The house lit at dusk above the Seymour River

    North Vancouver · on the Seymour River

    Rock Pool Rental

    A riverfront furnished two-bedroom suite, private entrance. Second unit coming soon.

    The Seymour River runs along the bottom of the lawn. From the patio, you don't hear traffic or neighbours, just moving water that lowers your after-work blood pressure. And all you see is green.

    Salmon run through this stretch in the fall and a resident heron sits on the rocks every evening. It feels like a cottage, but it's fifteen minutes from a downtown Vancouver office off peak.

    The Highway 1 on-ramp is a two-minute drive. Superstore is a walk, and most of that walk is crossing their parking lot. Capilano University is ten minutes on foot. The trailhead at Seymour River Heritage Park and the bike path to the Seymour Demonstration Forest are at the end of the block. An occasional deer wanders through.

    This is a furnished, self-contained, garden-level suite in a private home, set up specifically for people relocating for work, on contract, or between properties. Arrive with luggage and start living.

    Who it suits

    Relocating executives, contract professionals, visiting faculty, film and production crew, Mt. Seymour staff, locum physicians at Lions Gate, and families in the gap between selling and building. But not families with young children who run around and fall off cliffs — there is a path to the river but no fence along the entire riverside.
