While this North Vancouver City neighbourhood has many larger single-family houses near McKay Creek Greenbelt, the lower part of Marine | Hamilton offers Vancouver condos that are attracting a lot of young families and first-time buyers.

Local shopping can be found along Marine Drive, with specialty stores and delicious restaurants to check out. Alternatively, residents can head west to Capilano Mall or Park Royal Shopping Centre. For a fun daytime outing, pop down to the Lonsdale Quay Market where local vendors and eateries create a festive waterfront community. For a day spent among nature, Marine | Hamilton is filled with parks and natural outdoor spaces such as MacKay Creek Greenbelt, a lovely place for walks.

Bus routes along Marine Drive help keep this community connected to the rest of Metro Vancouver, with the SeaBus passenger-only ferry service to connect to Downtown Vancouver. There are two bridges, Lions Gate Bridge on Highway 99 and Iron Workers Memorial Bridge to the east, that connect drivers to the rest of the city.

There are a lot of great restaurants. If you can't start your day without caffeine fear not, your nearby choices include Orange Julius. Groceries can be found at Thrifty Foods which is only a 4 minute walk and you'll find Highroads Medical Clinic a 10-minute walk as well. For those days you just want to be indoors, look no further than True Colour Art Gallery to keep you occupied for hours. If you're an outdoor lover, you are a short distance away from Park and Kiwanis Park.
