The Grand Boulevard community is built around a boulevard between two lanes of the roadway, appropriately called Grand Boulevard, which was part of North Vancouver's landscape back before World War I. Grand Boulevard was successfully designed to be a showpiece neighbourhood.
Real Estate
Real estate in the upper part of the Boulevard is on a flat plateau, with a number of early 1900s heritage homes, and a lot of bungalows. Many homes offer stunning views of the Burrard Inlet, Mount Baker, and Downtown Vancouver. The neighbourhood has some starter homes and many older homes have been recently restored and improved. A lot of new construction has recently entered the area. The east-west streets are tree lined and generally quiet and family oriented. Mature landscaping on the boulevard conveys the community pride in maintaining this well-established area. Large residential lots bring out the best in the Grand Boulevard neighbourhood.

Parks and Recreation
The great thing about this area is that the “boulevard” itself acts as a wonderful green space for a park. There is also Boulevard Park, with a full size soccer pitch, tennis courts, basketball courts and city views. In addition, there is also Loutet Park which borders alongside the Upper Levels Highway.
