About Shellmont
Where to stay in Shellmont
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Fantasy Gardens is the name most arrivals know here. Shellmont itself is a residential stretch of Richmond hemmed between Shell Road on one side and Highway 99 on the other, which keeps hotel supply thin and puts most beds outside its boundaries. Francis Road brings arrivals in.
The Fraser River shuts the southern side, so nothing continues past it.
About Shellmont
What are the main landmarks in Shellmont?
Fantasy Gardens carries the only landmark name recorded in Shellmont. The neighbourhood's other fixed points are lines rather than buildings, with Highway 99 along the east, Francis Road across the north, Shell Road down the west and the Fraser River sealing the south. Water ends the map.
Everything inside those four edges is Richmond street grid.
What is the history of Shellmont?
Shellmont takes its outline from Richmond's road grid and from the Fraser River. Three sides are roads laid out across Richmond, British Columbia, with Francis Road fixing the northern limit, Shell Road the western one and Highway 99 the eastern, while the fourth side follows the river bank itself. No road marks it.
Fantasy Gardens stands inside the block those four lines make.
