The Queensbury neighbourhood was one of the first areas in North Vancouver to be developed. Queensbury homes are located just south of Keith Road below Grand Boulevard and just to the east of the Lower Lonsdale neighbourhood. In the 1940s, the Lynn Valley Streetcar ran east on 4th Street as far as Queensbury, where it turned north and headed towards Grand Boulevard. Queensbury was home to wartime houses built in 1941-42 for the shipyard workers employed by Burrard Dry Dock and North Van Ship Repairs at the foot of Lonsdale. Today, the trolley tracks are gone, but some of the wartime houses are still there.More recently, there have been newer houses built in Queensbury, giving this neighbourhood a variety of homes from old to new. Queensbury homeowners enjoy the close proximity to Lonsdale area shops, Grand Boulevard park, restaurants, shops, services and an easy commute across the Second Narrows Bridge. Although there are no schools located in Queensbury, there are two nearby schools which service the children in this region. Ridgeway Elementary and Brooksbank Elementary, which both are within walking distance.
