About Margaret Heights
WAITLIST OPEN - Subsidized Housing
Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society built Margaret Heights in 1991, naming it after Margaret MacDonald Martin, the grandmother of Debbie Anderson, one of the Society’s founding members.
The 19-unit townhouse complex is in the City of North Vancouver's peaceful West Lynn neighbourhood. It is designed for families and features an on-site daycare operated by the Lonsdale Creek Daycare Society, with priority given to resident children. The townhomes that back onto Eastview Park are just a 10-minute walk from Eastview Elementary School. Residents also enjoy convenient access to nature trails and parks. The Park & Tilford shopping area is only a five-minute drive away.
Building amenities include private courtyards, a shared courtyard, shared laundry facilities, and resident parking. The site is pet-friendly, allowing one cat or one dog up to 20 inches to the shoulder. Please note that this is not an accessible building, as there are no elevators, and most units have living areas spread over two floors.

Named for Margaret MacDonald Martin
Margaret Heights is named in honour of Margaret MacDonald Martin, the grandmother of one of the original Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society members, Debbie Anderson. Born in Kaukapakapa, New Zealand, in 1892, Margaret was a second-generation New Zealander of English descent. She married at 17 and raised nine children on a 100-acre dairy farm near Otorohanga. Known for her generosity and community service, she was an active Women’s Division of Federated Farmers member, supporting organizations like the Plunket Society, the world’s first well-baby clinic. Margaret also had a deep knowledge of herbalism, which she continued to pass down through her family. Her trailblazing spirit and dedication to community care reflect Entre Nous Femmes Housing Society's mission of building strong, supportive communities.
