Altamont is a neighbourhood of West Vancouver that is defined largely by its estate-sized lots and its proximity to Dundarave Village and numerous local beaches.
Named by John Fitzgerald Mahon ( - 1942) of Vancouver and London, who subdivided land here in 1913, after his brother-in-laws' courtesy title, Earl of Altamont, the eldest son of the Marquess of Sligo, and brother of his wife, Lady Alice Mahon.
To many, Altamont is viewed as the Shaugnessy of West Vancouver with the parallels being architectural styles and the large, private lots. Altamont is situated immediately to the west of Dundarave and sits between Highway 1 and the ocean.
In recent years, the popularity of West Bay Elementary (International Bacculareate World School and top ranking public school in BC) has increased demand for property in the Altamont area.
