Overview
Ambleside is the Marine Drive and Ambleside Park area of the District of West Vancouver. The District does not publish an Ambleside boundary as map data, so this page describes the places a buyer will use rather than a line on a map.
The West Vancouver Memorial Library is at 1950 Marine Drive. The Ferry Building Gallery (1414 Argyle Avenue) and the Silk Purse Arts Centre (1570 Argyle Avenue) stand near the water. Ambleside Park and Ambleside Beach run along Burrard Inlet toward the Capilano River. Park Royal Shopping Centre, which opened in 1950, is at the east end at the foot of the Lions Gate Bridge.
School District 45 has three public secondary schools: West Vancouver Secondary (1750 Mathers Avenue), Sentinel Secondary and Rockridge Secondary. The District's catchments are published as a locator, so check the school for the address. West Vancouver Secondary is authorised for the IB Diploma Programme. Entry is by application in Grade 11, open across the district.
TransLink's weekday schedule gives a median of 23 minutes on the bus from Marine Drive at 14th Street to West Georgia Street at Burrard Street, with trips running from 14 to 33 minutes. These are scheduled times, not times in traffic. West Vancouver has no SkyTrain station.
The District of West Vancouver's zoning bylaw sets what a lot allows. Check the lot's zone with the District before pricing a second or third home.

The IB Organization lists West Vancouver Secondary (1750 Mathers Avenue) as authorised for the Diploma Programme. Students enter in Grade 11 by application, and the programme is open to students across the district, so an Ambleside address does not secure a place.
