In the north-east side of North Vancouver City, the Grand Boulevard neighbourhood is aptly named for the main two-lane roadway that runs down the middle of it. There are fewer Vancouver condos for sale here, compared to Central Lonsdale for instance, but the unique mid-rise designs make interesting choices for potential homeowners.

For nearby shopping and dining, residents can head north along Grand Boulevard to the Lynn Valley Centre to enjoy a selection of retail outlets and a local pub. Alternatively, Park and Tilford Shops and Gardens is a short trip south, where a mix of boutique shops, cafes, landscaped gardens, and a movie theatre offers a great neighbourhood destination. The area has many outdoor green spaces from Keith Lynn Park to Greenwood Park in the north, plus the nearby natural expanses of the North Mountains.

Owning a vehicle in Grand Boulevard will be a real benefit for getting around, but bus routes along Keith Road connect to the rest of North Van, while Iron Workers Memorial Bridge is the surest bet for drivers heading into Downtown Vancouver. A passenger-only ferry service, the SeaBus, operates out of Lonsdale Quay for trips across the harbour.

There are quite a few restaurants to choose from. Some good places to grab a bite are Blenz Coffee and Haida Sandwich. Venture a little further for a meal at Palki Best Indian Cuisine, Palki Restaurant or Jordan Sushi. If you love coffee, you're not too far from Wild Trails Coffee located at 134 14th Street E. Groceries can be found at Whole Foods Market which is only a 12 minute walk and you'll find healthrx pharmacy a 10-minute walk as well.

Without a car, you can get around rather easily. The closest transit stop is a BusStop (Northbound Grand Blvd East @ E 17 St) and is only steps away, but there is also a Subway stop, Waterfront Station Platform 1, a 7-minute drive connecting you to the TransLink. It also has (Bus) route 228 Lynn Valley/lonsdale Quay, and (Bus) route 255 Dundarave/capilano University nearby.
