    Buying A Brookswood Home

    Imagining Your Life in Brookswood

    How you’ll spend your weekends…
    Throwing get-togethers and BBQs in your back yard with friends and family. You’ll spend time cleaning up your yard or working on that list of improvement projects that comes with buying an older home. You’ll grow to love it, don’t worry – except for the gutters. All the trees mean they fill up fast.

    Your entertainment & restaurant situation…
    When you get one of the Brookswood homes for sale here, head out to enjoy the amazing restaurants near by waiting for you. There are three sushi restaurants, a classic Italian/Pizza restaurant called Ocean Park Pizza, and a pub you can ride your horse to called The Artful Dodger pub. 

    Yep, I said “ride your horse to”. 

    What you’ll do after work…
    You’ll relax. Life is pretty quiet in Brookswood once you get one of the Brookswood condos for sale. Order up some pizza and then kick back and relax with the family. Stream some Netflix as Cedarbrook Blockbuster closed back when we used to ride our bikes there as teenagers.

    Hobbies you can pick up…
    Brookswood is full of car enthusiasts, garden-lovers, and horse owners. Spend your free time checking out the classics, going for walks through the big trees, and check out a stable or two. Even check out the equestrian show on 208th St.

    For the kids, there is an amazing bike park and skate park for them to get in their thrills.

    Brookswood is...

    Great For Families

    Great For Dog Lovers

    There are tons of outdoor spaces and parks throughout Brookswood, so if you have a doggo, they will love having the room to roam.

    Convenient & Private

    You'll have lots of privacy buying a home in Brookswood, but still be close enough to the essentials so that day-to-day errands are easy.

    What You'll Love

    The best part of Brookswood is that you feel like you are living in nature. There is green everywhere you look. The tall evergreen trees give it a very “North Van” feel and Cedarbrook Village feels like a small community hub that you’d see in the movies.

    Getting one of the Brookswood homes for sale would be a great choice if you are hoping to live in a happy community. You’ll bump into your neighbours, meet new friends, and get to know the names of all the employees working at the independent shops.

    What You Might Not Like

    Most of the Brookswood homes for sale are on septic, so once in a while, your neighbour might have their septic pumped on a Friday afternoon. 

    Some of the streets don’t have sidewalks and some of the homes have started to show their wear.  

    The tall trees are beautiful but they tend to block the sunshine. Cleaning moss off your roof and cleaning gutters is a right of passage in Brookswood, but the tall trees are what make Brookswood unique and you’ll get to know your neighbours when you first move in because you’ll probably need to borrow some tools.
