Northyards Real Estate & Homes For Sale

As an area of the city of Squamish, British Columbia, Northyards is located along the Sea to Sky Highway at the end of Howe Sound. Now known as the outdoor adventure capital of Canada, the area was settled around 1910 when the Pacific Great Eastern Railway was being constructed. Initially, the forestry and pulp industries served as the primary source of income, but these operations have largely ceased in recent years. With the Stawamus Chief close by and the geography ripe for recreation, tourism has become one of the primary industries in the Northyards and beyond.

Community Resources and Recreation

With its adventure capital reputation, there are plenty of opportunities for recreation and outdoor fun in Northyards and Squamish. With nearby Shannon Falls and Murrin Park, there are many places for hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, trail walking and bouldering. Kite boarding and windsurfing are also ideal sports during the summer months. For indoor interest, the Squamish Public Library is located on Second Avenue and offers many books, DVDs and magazines for loan. The Britannia Museum and West Coast Railway Heritage Park are also within the region.
