Overview:
The Squamish Lifestyle is a Force of its Own
Tucked between the mountains and the sea, Squamish offers a lifestyle that is unlike anywhere else. After work, Squamish residents can access some of the best biking and hiking trails on the West Coast or jump on their SUP or kiteboard while enjoying the breathtaking waters of the Howe Sound. Squamish is also known as one of the best places in the world for rock-climbing and winter brings more outdoor recreation with easy access to world renowned mountain resorts and backcountry skiing.
Beyond the outdoors, Squamish is brimming with growth, making it an increasingly attractive place to live and work. Squamish has it all; indoor recreation activities, an eclectic shopping scene, vibrant arts & culture, craft breweries, fine dining and international cuisine. Squamish has seen strong growth in population resulting in an increase to services and amenities; a small town feel with big town services. Community spirit is strong in Squamish; a special feeling of belonging exists and there is no shortage of community events, classes and causes for those looking to get involved. With the combination of Squamish’s amazing location, infrastructure, young educated residents and outdoor lifestyle, there is no better place to live, work and play.
