Cypress and Cypress Park Estates, West Vancouver: Homes for Sale, Prices, Schools and Daily Life

MLS® listings use two names for this area, and on the map the homes fall into three groups of streets. On October 11, 2026, every home listed under the name Cypress was downhill from the Upper Levels Highway (Highway 1), on Erwin Drive, Morgan Crescent, Stone Crescent, Keith Road or Marine Drive. The first three are beside the mouth of Cypress Creek, more than 700 metres below the highway.

Every home listed that day under Cypress Park Estates was uphill from the highway, in two groups more than 3 kilometres apart. The west group is the estate itself, beside Cypress Falls Park at highway exit 4. Its streets include Woodgreen Drive, Woodgreen Court, Woodcrest Road, Woodburn Road and Northwood Drive. The east group is Rodgers Creek, a newer neighbourhood on Burfield Place, Uplands Way, Chippendale Road and Rodgers Creek Lane, off Cypress Bowl Road. The real estate board sets the lines between the two names, and we found no public map of them, so read the area name printed on each listing.

The three groups are at different heights. Natural Resources Canada's elevation data gives 7 to 14 metres above sea level for Erwin Drive. Woodgreen Drive starts at 161 metres beside the highway and reaches 256 metres at its north end. Burfield Place climbs from 197 to 259 metres, and Uplands Way from 257 to 330 metres.

In our view, this area suits a buyer who wants trees, a view or a creek close to the house and who drives for most errands. If you want to walk to a library, a pool and a row of shops, look at Ambleside or Dundarave first.

The province's place name office adopted Cypress Creek on January 8, 1929 as an established local name, and its record keeps two accounts of the origin. In the first, Walter Erwin, keeper of the Point Atkinson lighthouse, and his wife Jane explored here soon after he took the job in 1879 and found a grove of cypress trees along the creek. In the second, Erwin chose the name because cypress logs sent down the creek were broken up by its rocks.

The province's record calls the community beside the creek mouth Cypress Park. It says a station of that name appears in Pacific Great Eastern Railway timetables from the 1920s or earlier. The West Vancouver Archives records that Cypress Park School opened in 1917 as a one room schoolhouse at Stearman Avenue and Marine Drive, closed in 1918, and ran again from 1920 to 1927. In the 1920s many of its pupils were Japanese-Canadian children whose parents worked at the Great Northern Cannery.

On October 11, 2026, all but one of the estate homes listed had been finished between 1959 and 1990, and no source we read gives the year the first lots were sold. Above the houses, the province created Cypress Provincial Park in 1975. BC Parks says the park is named for the yellow cypress that grows near its ridge tops. Cypress Mountain, the ski area inside the park, hosted the freestyle skiing and snowboard events of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. On February 14, 2010, Alexandre Bilodeau won the men's moguls there. The Canadian Encyclopedia records it as the first Olympic gold medal a Canadian had won in Canada.

Rodgers Creek is the newest part. The District rezoned 215 acres there in 2008. On February 10, 2020, council raised the limit to 1,217 homes. Further west, council approved the plan for a new community called Cypress Village on November 25, 2024.

Each group shops in a different place. From the estate, Caulfeild Village is across the highway at exit 4. Its supermarket is 558 metres in a straight line from the foot of Woodgreen Drive, and the 253 bus ends beside it. From the streets by the creek mouth the same supermarket is 1.6 kilometres away and uphill. From Burfield Place it is 3.9 kilometres away. In our experience, Rodgers Creek residents drive down to Marine Drive or to Park Royal for groceries.

For a library or a swimming pool, residents go east. The table on this page gives straight line distances to the West Vancouver Memorial Library, the West Vancouver Recreation Centre, Park Royal, Lions Gate Hospital and downtown Vancouver. It measures from the middle of the area, a point between the three groups, so the distance from your own street will differ. In the estate, a small park at Woodburn Road and Westwood Drive has tennis courts and trails.

Expect wildlife. The District calls Cypress Falls Park a wilderness park and tells visitors to watch for bears there. In our experience, the streets are quiet at night, and the sounds a visitor notices are the highway beside the lower end of the estate and the trains near Marine Drive.

Cypress Falls Park is beside the estate. The District's directions are to leave the highway at exit 4, turn right onto Woodgreen Drive and right again onto Woodgreen Place, which ends at the parking lot and the start of the trail. The first waterfall is a short walk from the lot and the upper falls take half an hour to reach, the District says. Dogs that behave well may be off the leash on the park's trails.

The District's page, as saved on January 30, 2026, says the park's low elevation makes it a good choice in winter, when many other trails are under deep snow. Pay parking applies all year, and a West Vancouver resident can apply for a yearly pass at no cost. Woodgreen Court is less than 200 metres in a straight line from the end of Woodgreen Place, so estate residents can walk in.

Cypress Provincial Park is at the top of Cypress Bowl Road. BC Parks says the road enters the park at 425 metres above sea level, below Mount Strachan (1,454 metres), Hollyburn Mountain (1,325 metres) and Black Mountain (1,217 metres). The Cypress Mountain resort inside the park offers downhill and cross-country skiing, snow tubing and 11 kilometres of snowshoe trails.

Rodgers Creek has green space of its own. The District's plan for the land around Uplands Way keeps 55.6% of it as public green space, with Cave Creek and Westmount Creek left open inside park land. By the creek mouth, the map on this page marks Erwin Park, and the table lists the nearest beaches.
