Welcome to Vancouver Westside
Vancouver west is a high-end dazzling combination of intellectual appeal, natural beauty and shopping hubs. You’ll find this part of Vancouver to have the optimal balance between city life and nature’s enjoyments. Within the area you’ll find a few of Canada’s most unique food and activity offerings as well as the prestigious University of British Columbia. The living abodes available within Vancouver West vary from large estate style homes right through to small studio condos. For those wanting to live in this perfect area, research is key. The diversity of housing is as far reaching as the diversity of the people occupying it. You can see slight conservatism in the compact upper class neighbourhood of Point Grey. There is lots to choose from in Westside: homes, duplexes, condos and townhomes. From the beaches of Jericho to Kitsilano Beach Park to Spanish Banks Beach Park, there is a place for everyone to find peace. Locarno Beach inside Jericho and Spanish Banks Park host trails through forests and along beaches providing residents an area for walking their dogs — including off-leash areas to let residents’ pets feel as free as their owners do.
SHOPPING & RESTAURANTS
This neighbourhood with its spectacular beaches and rainforest area contrasts well with the shopping hubs of the Kitsilano neighbourhood. One of most popular shopping destinations is W 4th Avenue. This street is unique with both local shops for those looking to immerse themselves in Vancouver culture and iconic brands that are known worldwide like Lululemon Athletica. Possibly the best part of W 4th Avenue is the fantastic restaurants that can be found lining its streets. Vancouver being the culinary capital of Canada allows 4th street the ability to offer a dining experience that is unique to its natural environment. For those wishing to answer the call of the wild, there is Pacific Spirit Park in Point Grey. The massive, dense forests within this park make it the perfect place to get back to nature and enjoy the simpler side of life.
