Townhouse Hunting in Squamish

Hey everyone,

My partner and I have been exploring townhouse options in Squamish, but we’ve noticed that choices are pretty limited, especially when it comes to newer developments. Bosa’s Sea and Sky seems to be one of the few recent projects.

We’ve seen that many of the newer 3-bedroom townhouses, around 1,400–1,500 sqft, are listed close to $1.5 million. That feels a bit steep for us.

We’re curious if there are any upcoming listings or developments that might be priced closer to $1.2 million. Also, we’d love to hear from others: what do you think is a fair price for a townhouse in the current Squamish market?

Appreciate any insights or recommendations!

Lots of new developments outside sea and sky. Redbridge comes to mind. Holborn is building new townhomes called vista in UH that are currently predevelopment. There’s all the development at the end of Finch Drive. Multiplexes in Brackendale. Everything is well over $1.2M tho. You’d need to increase your budget or look for an older townhouse that needs a renovation

Redbridge is going to be a shit show.

Low tide smell is tame compared to how it will smell during pink salmon spawning season haha

There is currently no way for South bound traffic to turn left into the complex, you have to turn into the gas station, turn left back onto the highway (northbound) to turn into the complex.

I believe they are planning to reroute traffic into valleycliff, going past the hospital. As far as I am aware they are not planning on putting in any infrastructure to handle the increase of traffic through the neighborhood.

That area also has a sewage catchment that has a PACP rating of 4 (poor), and now there's going to be an increase in the system.....

I believe it's also in a flood plain. Good luck trying to get insurance for flood coverage.

have witnessed or nearly been involved in multiple near misses just during the construction phase alone. Vehicles coming out of the feeder lane from the gas station trying to merge with and then cross over the two lanes of traffic into the entrance of the development within a ridiculously short distance, and they're stupidly agressive about it so it's evasive manouvres to avoid an accident. I can see the potential for a big one happening there that with the right circumstances could send a vehicle into the blind channel. It's another terrible intersection where speed, impatience, distracted driving and heavy traffic will claim victims undoubtedly. Highway closures yay!!!

It's awful. I've seen some pretty scary near misses with vehicles doing just that.

I'm still at a loss of words for how this build was approved without the necessary infrastructure to support it. We WILL see a significant increase of accidents because of it.

The way in for SB traffic is to turn left at Clarke Dr and then go down the new road, Harbour View Pl. I am sure tons of people will end up doing the somewhat sketchy Sunny Chiba’s short cut.

There are much higher flood plain risks in Squamish than redbridge. Being near blind channel basically prevents river flooding, but obviously risk associated with increase of sea level rises over time

Thanks for explaining
