Garibaldi Highlands sits on the eastern side of Squamish, above Garibaldi Estates and close to University Heights, Tantalus and the trail networks leading toward Alice Lake and Garibaldi Provincial Park. It feels slightly tucked above town, with many homes positioned for mountain, valley and Howe Sound views.

Garibaldi Estates sits below the Highlands, closer to Highway 99, Mamquam Road, Garibaldi Village and many of the everyday services people use regularly. This makes the Estates one of Squamish’s more convenient residential areas, with access to shopping, restaurants, schools, parks, trails and the highway. The District has been working on a Garibaldi Estates Neighbourhood Plan to guide the area’s future around housing options, employment space, transportation and community amenities. 

The geography creates a lovely lifestyle ladder. Up the hill, the Highlands offers forested residential streets, trail access, bigger views and a quieter family feel. Down below, the Estates offers convenience, services and a more central rhythm. Nearby, the Alice Lake and Garibaldi Highlands trail zone is known for mountain biking and trails ranging from beginner to expert, with access points like Jack’s Trail, Mashiter Trail and 50 Shades of Green. 

This is what makes the area so useful for buyers to understand. Garibaldi Highlands and Garibaldi Estates are different, but deeply connected — one gives you the elevated forest lifestyle, the other gives you daily ease.
