Some good places to grab a bite are Crab Shop, Subway or Barcelos Flame Grilled Chicken. Venture a little further for a meal at one of the neighbourhood's restaurants. If you love coffee, you're not too far from Starbucks located at 2100 Dollarton Hwy. Groceries can be found at Real Canadian Superstore which is a 11-minute walk and you'll find Kids Physio Group North Van not far as well. For those days you just want to be indoors, look no further than Kolbe Gallery Vancouver to keep you occupied for hours. You are not far from great parks like Maplewood Park and Hogan's Pools Park.

Without a car, you can get around quite easily. The closest transit stop is a BusStop (Eastbound Dollarton Hwy @ Forester St) and is a short walk, but there is also a Subway stop, Brentwood Town Centre Station Platform 1, a 5-minute drive connecting you to the TransLink. It also has (Bus) route 212 Deep Cove/phibbs Exchange, and (Bus) route 215 Indian River/phibbs Exchange nearby.
