ust as
with any city, the Vancouver real estate market is a pretty busy one.
All over the city, property is changing hands as people come and go.
This, of course, means there’s plenty of places a newcomer to the
city can choose to stay. However, before making a beeline toward some
random For Sale sign, be sure to consider the neighbourhood it’s
planted in first.
Downtown
Most
residential properties in the Downtown area are high-rise
residential units. Downtown offers easy access to the city’s
centres of business, shopping, and entertainment, however, this can
come at a price. The cost of living in Downtown is generally quite
high if you’re not keen on settling for a smallish duplex in the
West End section of town.
Kitsilano
If
you’re a beach bum, Kitsilano is probably where you want to be. The
neighbourhood is lined by the city’s two famous beaches, Kits Beach
and Jericho Beach. Expect prices by the coastline to be sky high, but
these generally become more reasonable as you move west towards UBC.
East Vancouver
Outside
of East Hastings and Downtown Eastside, affordable housing can be had
in what are the city’s more eclectic neighbourhoods. Life in East
Van is generally more down-to-earth, and provides a welcome contrast
to the Downtown’s slick and modern character.
