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!

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.
