The only thing is that my fiancee works in New Westminster, and driving from North Van to New Westminster might be a nightmare for her. I have no problem taking the seabus to work in Downtown. But I sure do love the view of the water from Lonsdale Quay.

RiverSky might be something to consider. It's in New West so her travel will be minimal. You've got the skytrain on one side for getting downtown, and the Fraser River on the other side (admittedly no views of downtown Van). Pier Park is nearby and there's a couple of elementary schools (admittedly maybe not within a short walking distance). Plus it's been cleaned up a lot compared to ye olde days so it's a fairly safe area.
