Garibaldi Highlands
Like other neighbourhoods, streets,
businesses, and more in the Squamish area, Garibaldi Highlands borrows
its name from towering Mount Garibaldi. The snow-capped mountain itself
is named for the great 19th century Italian patriot, soldier and
guerrilla general, Giuseppe Garibaldi. Views of that stunning peak and
others can be found almost everywhere you look in this exceptionally
sunny and family friendly neighbourhood.
Built high up on
hillside benches, Garibaldi Highlands takes advantage of the elevation
and also offers beautiful views southwest of the entire valley and ocean
vistas across the Howe Sound. The neighbourhood features a wide
selection of mostly residential, single-family homes for every type of
living including duplexes, ranch-style, quaint cottages and luxurious
houses ranging in price from $474,000 to $1.5 million.
You will
find several small parks in Garibaldi Highlands, as well as an intricate
and well-used system of hiking and mountain biking trails leading to
small valleys, lakes and picturesque viewpoints. The neighbourhood
features an elementary school (kindergarten to grade seven), as well as
Quest University, Canada's first independent, secular, not-for-profit
university of the liberal arts and sciences. Quest’s campus offers a
full gymnasium, squash courts, weight room, all-season artificial turf
soccer field, two tennis courts, plus outdoor basketball courts. Located
just north of downtown, Garibaldi Highlands is conveniently close to
grocery and liquor stores, shopping, dental care, health clinic, movie
theatre and many restaurants.
