Vancouver's West End Neighbourhood
One of Vancouver's most established neighbourhoods, this is where you will find English Bay, Stanley Park, Davie Village, Robson Shopping and an enormous variety of restaurants and coffee shops on Denman Street. All levels of public schools, a community centre, the seniors centre and many churches make this the most compact yet complete neighbourhood. The best perk is not needing a car and being able to walk everywhere.
The most coveted section to live is West of Denman Street since it is the quietest part of the downtown with the least amount of traffic. Much of the neighbourhood has been constructed with low rise wood frame buildings around 20-30 years old. The mature foliage, colourful gardens and white sand beaches contribute to its beauty. There are many long time residents so it doesn't take long to get to know your neighbours. Freehold real estate is currently selling for about $500-700 per square foot. There are many defferent types of ownership titles to be found here such as coop, leasehold and freehold strata. It is best to get the explanation of each type of ownership title from a realtor when choosing your property.
