The exterior walkway at Quayside Village Cohousing features places to sit and chat, and is filled with plants.

Experiences at QV:

“Growing up within Quayside, I got to experience such a wide variety of social connections. Especially compared to most kids my age. I really treasure our intergenerational community. Quayside has always felt like an oasis in that sense.”
- on childhood at Quayside
“Cohousing can provide a fruitful model for thinking differently. The ongoing work that goes into community building and maintenance in cohousing facilitates an appreciation for home as a verb, not just a noun.
- Catherine Kingfisher's thoughts on "home-as-process" at QV
“What makes us a community is that our lives intersect. What makes us different from 'naturally occuring' communities such as a village is that we have intentionally chosen to work together to create a housing situation that will foster neigborliness.”

Why Lower Lonsdale?

Quayside residents benefit from the walkable density of the Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood. The Seabus—a transit passenger ferry connecting North Vancouver to Downtown Vancouver—is just a few blocks down the hill and runs regularly.
